About this study

Official title: Development of New Technology for One-step Diagnosis of Adrenal Diseases Based on Adrenal Hormone Panel

The aim of this study is to develop a one-step diagnostic method for adrenal diseases, Patients with adrenal diseases including non-functioning adrenal adenoma, adrenal Cushing's syndrome, primary aldosteronism, and pheochromocytoma will be recruited. Using mass spectrometry analysis based on a multisteroid panel, serum, urine, saliva, and hair samples of the patients will be analyzed. The diagnostic yield of each and combination of steroids will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

Adrenal diseases consist of heterogenous diseases. To differentiate various adrenal diseases, multiple steps of diagnostic tests are needed. In this study, the investigators aimed to develop a one-step diagnostic method to differentiate various adrenal diseases using multisteroid panel.

About 400 patients with adrenal diseases including non-functioning adenoma, adrenal Cushing's syndrome, primary aldosteronism, and pheochromocytoma will be recruited. Serum, hair, saliva, and urine samples of the patients will be analyzed using mass spectrometry. Each and combination of multisteroid will be evaluated for diagnosing adrenal diseases.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of multisteroid panel for differentiating adrenal diseases

    • Evaluate how accurately the developed multisteroid panel diagnoses adrenal disease by measuring sensitivity (%) and specificity (%) for diagnosis of Cushing's syndrome.
    • Evaluate how accurately the developed multisteroid panel diagnoses adrenal disease by measuring sensitivity (%) and specificity (%) for diagnosis of primary aldosteronism.
    • Evaluate how accurately the developed multisteroid panel diagnoses adrenal disease by measuring sensitivity (%) and specificity (%) for diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.

    Measured: Within 1 year after subject recruitment when the final diagnosis of adrenal diseases are made

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Diagnostic accuracy of each steroid component for differentiating adrenal diseases

    Evaluate how accurately each component of the steroid panel differentiate adrenal diseases.

    • Sensitivity (%) and specificity (%) of each steroid measures for adrenal Cushing's syndrome will be calculated.
    • Sensitivity (%) and specificity (%) of each steroid measures for primary aldosteronism will be calculated.
    • Sensitivity (%) and specificity (%) of each steroid measures for pheochromocytoma will be calculated.

    Measured: Within 1 year after subject recruitment when the final diagnosis of adrenal diseases are made

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adrenal Disease, 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 1 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 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 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?

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?

Diagnostic accuracy of multisteroid panel for differentiating adrenal diseases (time frame: Within 1 year after subject recruitment when the final diagnosis of adrenal diseases are made). 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 23 Jan 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
