About this study

This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the utility of C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in patients with clinical suspected primary aldosteronism (PA), with postoperative pathological or follow-up results as reference standards.

Read the detailed description
  1. Record the course of disease, the laboratory examination (e.g., potassium, aldosterone, aldosterone-to-renin ratio, intravenous salt-loading test or captopril test) and the results of adrenal vein sampling in patients with clinically suspected PA.
  2. PET image analysis: Record and evaluate the following indicators: the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of lesions, the mean standardized uptake value (SUVmean) of normal liver, the SUVmean of adjacent normal adrenal tissue, the ratio of the lesional SUVmax to the normal liver SUVmean (LLR), and the ratio of the lesional SUVmax to the adjacent adrenal tissue SUVmean (LAR).
  3. Pathological analysis: Hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical analyses will be performed. Immunohistochemical analysis will be used to investigate the expression of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) and CXCR4.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Aldosteronism, run by Xiao Chen at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Xiao Chen, Ph.D (+8615922970174, xiaochen229@foxmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Standardised uptake values (time frame: completed within one week after the PET examination). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06183554, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Jan 2024.
