About this study

Official title: Interest of the Copeptine Dosage in Diagnosis of Post-operative Insipidus Diabetes After Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery

Endoscopic trans-sphenoidal pituitary endoscopic surgery is one of the main axes of management of tumours of the sellar region.

Central diabetes insipidus is a frequent complication of endoscopic trans-sphenoidal pituitary endoscopic surgery, with a prevalence of up to 30% of cases. It is the consequence of insufficient secretion of the anti-diuretic hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) by the posterior pituitary (Melmed et al, 2017).

In the absence of specific treatment, diabetes insipidus can lead to severe ionic and osmotic disorders, mainly acute dehydration with the risk of severe consequences particularly neurological.

Monitoring for the appearance of diabetes insipidus is therefore necessary from the immediate post-operative period.

To date, diabetes insipidus is initially suspected before the appearance of major polyuria. Several biological assays (urinary density, natraemia, urinary osmolarity and plasma) can help to confirm the diagnosis, but the sensitivity and specificity of these biomarkers remains quite low for this indication.

The determination of MVA is difficult because this hormone is unstable ex vivo. To date, its use in current practice remains complicated.

MVA and copeptin are derived from the same precursor and are therefore co-secreted by the pituitary gland in equimolar proportions.

Copeptin has a relatively short in vivo half-life of about 25 minutes, as does MVA, but is more stable in vitro when blood has been drawn.

Its use in the early diagnosis of diabetes insipidus after pituitary surgery could therefore be of interest.

Read the detailed description

Objective is to study the interest of copeptin dosage as an early predictive marker for the diagnosis of post-operatice diabetes insipidus in trans-sphenoidal endoscopic pituitary surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sample in people with Pituitary Surgery, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2024. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Copeptin dosage (time frame: Day 1). 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 13 Jun 2024.
