Active clinical trials for "Cushing Syndrome"

The purpose of this study is to prospectively study patients with Cushing's syndrome before and after treatment, with a special emphasis on physical function, quality of life, and circadian rhythms. The hypotheses are: Cushing's syndrome negatively impacts health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and physical functioning Cushing's syndrome is associated with altered circadian rhythms at the whole body level and in peripheral target tissues. These complications partially reverse following disease control.

Sudden Cardiac Death is a leading cause of mortality and remains a major public health burden worldwide. Cardiac arrest due to coronary heart disease explains a large proportion of the cases, but if autopsy is not performed the exact underlying cause remains obscure in many adults who face sudden death outside heath care organizations. The investigators aim to find proof that primary aldosteronism is a risk factor for sudden death and to characterize the prevalence of adrenal pathology in sudden death of undetermined cause in a case-control study. In addition, the study aims to characterize the prevalence of other adrenal pathology i.e. silent adenomas, cortisol-producing adenomas and pheochromocytomas in sudden death. The investigators also seek evidence that other endocrine hormone overproduction-causing diseases are more prevalent in persons with sudden death compared with those experiencing traumatic or suicidal death sudden death.

Osteoporosis induced by glucocorticoids excess constitutes the main cause of secondary osteoporosis. Most of data available are provided from cohort studies of patients treated by corticosteroids, affecting among 1% of population. In contrast, very few data on osteoporosis are available in the Cushing syndrome (CS), a rare disease affecting 1 or 2 million of inhabitants, and characterized by an endogen glucocorticoid excess production. This affection is responsable of frequent fractures, occuring in 30-60% of patients (vertebral asymptomatic in 50% of case, hip, ribs). Fractures occurs often frequently above the threshold usually used for osteoporosis (T-score<-2.5), most often in the range of osteopenia. These data suggest that surface bone density isn't sufficient to characterize bone fragility, architectural factors are probably involved, and should be evaluated. The specificity of osteoporosis induced by endogen glucocorticoids excess in comparison with osteoporosis induced by estrogenic deficiency in post-menopausal women is poorly known, especially in endogen glucocorticoid excess. A recent microarchitecture studies showed alterations of cortical compartment in patients with Cushing's syndrome, confirming by our preliminary preclinical data from a transgenic murin model of Cushing's syndrome. In these ten last years, new radiologic tools have been developped, and are able to evaluate bone architecture. The peripheral Quantitative Computed analyses the bone architecture with distinction between cortical and trabecular compartment. Therefore, we aim to determine the specificity of osteoporosis induced by glucocorticoids excess in comparison to post menopausal osteoporosis thanks to pQCT analysis.

The purpose of this study is to follow participants with Cushing's syndrome during the course of their routine care and to form a data registry to study long term participant outcomes.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and heterogeneous malignancy with poor prognosis. Surgical resection of the tumor is the treatment of choice. However, even after complete resection more than 80 % of patients will experience recurrence of disease. Therefore, new treatment options are urgently needed. This pre-clinical study try to lay the foundations for a successful immunotherapy in patients with ACC.

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate, between patients with arterial hypertension and non hypertensive control group, the prevalence of hidden hypercortisolism the relationship between organ damage and oxidative stress level, cortisol secretion degree, sensitivity and peripheral activity

The goal of this multicenter, observational, analytic, randomized clinical trial is to analyze the laparoscopic and robot-assisted method in the surgical treatment of patients with adrenal diseases. The main question it aims to answer are: to find the superiority of one the the surgical method mentioned above to compare the quality of life in patients with adrenal mass before surgery and after laparoscopic or robotic-assisted adrenalectomy.

This is a Phase 2 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled study of ATR-101 to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orally-administered ATR-101 in adults with endogenous Cushing's syndrome. Following wash-out (if needed), all eligible subjects will enter an open-label intra-subject dose-escalation period of 8 weeks' duration, followed either by a double-blind randomized withdrawal period of 4 weeks' duration (if the subject meets randomization criteria) or by an additional open label dosing period of 4 weeks' duration (if the subject does not meet randomization criteria).It is anticipated that the overall duration of the study per subject will range from approximately 16-22 weeks.

Background: - Adrenal tumors are a common kind of tumor. Some of these secrete extra cortisol into the body, which can lead to diabetes, obesity, and other diseases. Some people with extra cortisol will show symptoms like bruising and muscle weakness. Others will show no signs. This is called subclinical hypercortisolism. Some of these adrenal tumors become malignant. Researchers want to know the best way to treat people with subclinical hypercortisolism. They want to know if removing the tumor by surgery reduces the long-term effects of the disease. Objectives: - To see if removing an adrenal tumor by surgery improves blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, or cholesterol, and cancer detection. Eligibility: - Adults 18 and older with an adrenal tumor and high cortisol levels. Design: Participants will be screened with medical history, blood tests, and a computed tomography (CT) scan. Participants will have a baseline visit. They will have blood and urine tests and 7 scans. For most scans, a substance is injected through a tube in the arm. Participants will lie still on a table in a machine that takes images. Participants will have surgery to remove their tumor. Some will have surgery right away. Some will have surgery 6 months later, after 2 follow-up appointments. Participants will have 4 follow-up visits in the first year after surgery. They will have 2 visits the second year, then yearly visits for 3 years. At each follow-up visit, they will have scans and blood tests.

This is a multi-centre, observational, non-comparative, retrospective cohort study designed to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of osilodrostat in non-CD CS patients. Patients treated with oral osilodrostat regardless of the duration of their treatment will be followed retrospectively for up to 36 months after initiating osilodrostat.
