About this study

The purpose of this study is to investigate the pathologic features, complications, and prognostic factors of functioning adrenal adenoma and suggest follow-up algorithms for adrenal incidentaloma.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will recruit 150 patients annually for 10 years (adrenal incidentaloma 100 patients, pheochromocytoma 15 patients, primary aldosteronism 25 patients, adrenal cushing syndrome 10 patients, adrenocortical carcinoma 2 patients) and perform hormonal, biochemical, imaging exam according to each disease's clinical guidelines. Based on this, the investigators will identify pathologic features, complications, and prognostic factors of each disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adrenal Adenoma and Cushing Syndrome, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of participants in remission (time frame: Up to 10 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Mar 2020.
