About this study

The goal of this observational study is to systematically describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with pituitary complex and rare diseases at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • What are the influencing factors and rates of remission?
  • What are the comorbidities associated with these diseases?
  • What are the perioperative events, radiological findings, and pathological features?
Read more

Researchers will compare different patient groups to see if there are significant differences in these outcomes.

Participants will:

  • Undergo detailed clinical evaluations.
  • Provide medical history and data for analysis.
  • Participate in follow-up assessments to monitor disease progression and treatment outcomes.
Read the detailed description

The study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of pituitary complex and rare diseases at Peking Union Medical College Hospital. By leveraging a large cohort, the research will explore various clinical characteristics and outcomes. Specifically, the study will examine influencing factors and rates of remission, the presence of comorbidities, and perioperative events. Additionally, it will evaluate radiological findings and pathological features to better understand these conditions. Through this detailed investigation, the study seeks to enhance knowledge and inform clinical practice regarding the management and prognosis of pituitary complex and rare diseases.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Surgical RemovalProcedure or surgery

    Resection of pituitary pathologies.

  • BiopsyProcedure or surgery

    Taking a small tissue or liquid sample from the pituitary pathologies and the affected area for examination and diagnosis

Study groups in NCT06435195
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pituitary Complex and Rare DiseasesThe Pituitary Complex and Rare Diseases cohort consists of patients diagnosed with various pituitary disorders, including but not limited to pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngiomas, Rathke's cleft cysts, sellar region germ cell tumors, cavernous sinus syndrome, and other diseases. Patients requiring surgical resection or biopsy of pituitary pathologies will undergo transsphenoidal surgery or craniotomy.
Receives: Procedure: Surgical Removal; Procedure: Biopsy

What is being measured

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

  1. Remission

    Hormonal normalization and free of pathologies

    Measured: Postoperative one week and extends to the latest follow-up, estimated at up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Disease Comorbidities

    Systemic changes accompanied with Pituitary Complex and Rare Diseases

    Measured: From patient admission to an evaluation period extending up to the latest follow-up, estimately up to 3 years

  2. Postoperative complications

    adverse events or medical issues that arise after a surgical procedure on the pituitary diseases.These complications can include various problems such as bleeding, infection, hormonal imbalances, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, vision changes, or neurological deficits

    Measured: Postoperative one week and extends to the latest follow-up, estimated at up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pituitary Diseases, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital 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 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
