Active clinical trials for "ACTH-Secreting Pituitary Adenoma"

This phase 2 multicenter, open-label clinical trial will evaluate safety and efficacy of 4 weeks of oral seliciclib in patients with newly diagnosed, persistent, or recurrent Cushing disease. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD)

A Phase 1b/2a, first-in-disease, open-label, multiple-ascending dose exploratory study to evaluate safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamic biomarker responses associated with CRN04894 (an adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH] receptor antagonist) in participants with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome (Cushing's disease or Ectopic ACTH Syndrome [EAS])

Multicenter, open-label, non-comparative study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability of osilodrostat in children and adolescent patients with Cushing's disease.

Background: Cushing s disease is caused by excess ACTH hormone release by a benign tumor of the pituitary gland. It can lead to decreased quality of life and early death. The current best treatment for Cushing s disease is surgery. If surgery does not work or if the tumor returns, there are no more good treatment options. Vorinostat, which is approved to treat a type of lymphoma, might be a treatment option. Objective: To test vorinostat to see if it can kill tumor cells and change the number of hormones released in people with Cushing s disease. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have Cushing s disease and are scheduled for surgery under protocol 03-N-0164 to remove a tumor in their pituitary gland Design: Participants will be screened under protocol 03-N-0164. Participants will stay in the hospital for 8 days before their surgery. On the first day, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests. They will have their urine collected for testing all day. They will have an ECG: For this, small metal disks or sticky electrode pads will be placed on their chest to record heart activity. For the next 7 days, participants will have blood tests and all-day urine collection. They will drink at least 2 liters of fluid per day. They will take the study drug by mouth each morning. On the eighth day, participants will have their surgery. Leftover tissue will be collected for research. On the day they are discharged from the hospital, participants will have a physical exam and blood tests.

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, study of SPI-62 in subjects with ACTH-dependent Cushing's syndrome caused by a non-adrenal tumor. Subjects will receive each of the following 2 treatments for 24 weeks: SPI-62 and matching placebo with the option of long-term extension.

Patients with Cushing disease was randomized to 2 groups. After surgery, the patients were managed with mechanical prevention or mechanical prevention plus anticoagulant drugs(LMWH followed by rivaroxaban), VTE was observed 24h, 5day, 4weeks and 12weeks after surgery.Bleeding events were also recorded.

This is a multicentric, prospective, intervention study on circadian genes expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells as biomarkers of circadian rhythm derangement in patients affected by alterations of endogenous glucocorticoids secretion (Cushing's Syndrome during active phase, treatment and under remission and newly or on established glucocorticoid replacement therapy adrenal insufficiency)

The purpose of this study is to allow continued use of pasireotide in patients who are on pasireotide treatment in a Novartis-sponsored study and are benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator.

Supported by the pre-clinical data (summarized in Research Strategy), the investigators propose that Fimepinostat is an ideal candidate drug in the treatment and intervention of patients with Cushing Disease. The investigators propose a pilot, short-term (4 weeks) phase II single-center study to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Fimepinostat in the treatment of patients with de novo, persistent, and/or recurrent CD recruited at the University of California, Los Angeles. The trial will have a 2-arm design and will simultaneously examine two different doses of Fimepinostat. The study will allow the investigators to determine the efficacy and safety of these doses in the treatment of CD and guide dose selection for subsequent, larger studies.

Background: The pituitary gland produces hormones. A tumor in this gland can cause it to produce too much of the hormone cortisol. Too much cortisol in the body causes Cushing disease. This disease causes many problems. Some of these problems might persist after the disease is cured. Objective: To find out the long-term effects of exposure to high levels of cortisol during childhood and adolescence. Eligibility: People ages 10-42years who were diagnosed with Cushing disease before age 21 and are now cured and have normal or low cortisol levels People related to someone with Cushing disease Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history. Participants will complete an online survey. This will include questions about their or their child s physical and mental health. All participants will be seen at 5 -year intervals after cure of Cushing disease (5yr, 10yr, 15yr, 20yr (last visit)) Participants who have a relative with Cushing disease will have a medical history and blood tests or cheek swabs. Participants who have the disease will have: Physical exam Blood tests Cheek swab DXA scan: A machine will x-ray the participant s body to measure bone mineral content. For participants who are still growing, a hand x-ray Participants with the disease may also have: Hormone stimulation test: Participants will get a hormone or another substance that will be measured. Serial hormone sampling: Participants blood will be measured several times through a thin plastic tube in an arm vein. Urine tests: Participants urine may be collected over 24 hours. MRI: Participants may have a dye injected into a vein. They will lie on a table that slides into a machine. The machine will take pictures of the body.
