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 …
There is a variety of tumors affecting the pituitary gland in childhood; some of these tumors (eg craniopharyngioma) are included among the most common central nervous system tumors in childhood. The gene(s) involved in the pathogenesis of these tumors are largely not known; their possible association with other developmental defects …
Multicenter, open-label, non-comparative study to evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and tolerability of osilodrostat in children and adolescent patients with Cushing's syndrome.
Primary Objective: The primary objective of the study is to characterize subjects affected by adrenal disease by collecting medical history data at diagnosis, clinical, bio-humoral, and radiological data, as well as information regarding the therapeutic approach, in terms of both potential surgical interventions and/or pharmacological therapies and hormone replacement therapies. …
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the performance \[sensitivity, specificity, accuracy\] of FET PET/CT imaging to detect ACTH-secreting pituitary adenoma, using operative findings and histopathology as truth standard.
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 …
This pilot and feasibility study aims to combine recent advances in ultrasound imaging, specifically an endonasal transducer array and contrast enhanced ultrasound, to offer an intraoperative image-guided solution for lesion-specific surgical resection to impact clinical outcome. Should this imaging approach help isolate specific lesions and prevent surgical resection of normal …
Cushing's disease results from adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion by corticotroph pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the reference modality for etiological diagnosis but may to visualize small corticotroph microadenomas in up to 30% of the cases, and false positives may occur. The study hypothesis is that positron …
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.
This study is designed as a single institution trial. The study utilizes safe and clinically-validated tools for preoperative workup of patients with small pituitary tumors. DDAVP stimulation and 18F-labeled fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) uptake for PET-imaging will be used to detect MRI-negative pituitary adenomas in patients with Cushing s disease. Patients who …
