Recruiting studies
- NCT06407024Recruiting
Laparoscopic vs robotic surgery for adrenal gland removal
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic vs robotic) to remove an adrenal gland. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT07470580Recruiting
Heat treatment vs surgery for adrenal gland tumor
This study compares two treatments for a certain type of adrenal gland tumor (Conn's adenoma) that causes high blood pressure. One is a heat-based procedure called radiofrequency ablation and the other is surgery to remove the tumor. The goal is to see which is better at controlling blood pressure.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT07573163RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide after adrenal surgery for mild cortisol condition
This trial tests if tirzepatide can help with weight and blood pressure after you have surgery to remove an adrenal gland that's making too much cortisol. It may be a good option if you still have health issues like high blood pressure or obesity after surgery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04905706Recruiting
3D laparoscopic surgery study for adrenal gland tumors
This study looks at results from using a 3D approach during laparoscopic adrenal gland surgery for tumor removal. It may help surgeons improve how this operation is planned and performed, especially regarding recovery and follow-up outcomes.
Girona, GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT05991856Recruiting
Comparing ablation vs. surgery for adrenal tumors causing high blood pressure
This trial compares two treatments—ultrasound-guided ablation and laparoscopic adrenalectomy—for a type of adrenal tumor called aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) that causes high blood pressure and low potassium. The goal is to see which treatment works better for patients with a single, non-cancerous tumor.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06050057Recruiting
Surgery for adrenal disease: Standard vs. robotic-assisted approach
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for removing an adrenal gland: laparoscopic (small incisions, using a camera) and robot-assisted (using a robotic arm). It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery and safety.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT06566521Recruiting
Nerve block for daytime laparoscopic adrenal tumor removal
This trial tests if a nerve block can help manage pain during surgery to remove a non-cancerous adrenal tumor. It may lead to a faster recovery and less nausea after the procedure.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 18–70 - NCT07361874Recruiting
Adrenal surgery vs semaglutide for mild cortisol excess
This study tests whether removing a small adrenal tumor or taking a diabetes/weight-loss medication (semaglutide) works better to improve health in people with mild hormone problems. It may help if you have an adrenal nodule causing slight cortisol overproduction or if you have obesity and related conditions.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07268222RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two drugs for metabolic autonomous cortisol secretion
This trial tests whether metyrapone or osilodrostat works better for people with MACS, a condition where the adrenal glands produce too much cortisol on their own. The goal is to help you and your doctor choose the best treatment.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT04127552Recruiting
Adrenal mass screening and hormone effects on health
This study looks at how an accidentally found adrenal growth may affect heart and metabolic health, especially if it causes extra cortisol production. It may help explain which people are at higher risk and what monitoring or treatment could be useful.
Rome, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT05702944RecruitingPhase 4
Skipping pre-surgery blood pressure medicine for certain adrenal tumors
This trial studies whether it is safe to skip a specific pre-surgery blood pressure medicine (alpha-blocker) for people with normal blood pressure who have a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma in one adrenal gland. It aims to see if fewer pre-op meds can still prevent risky blood pressure surges during surgery.
SeoulAges 19–70 - NCT05797558Recruiting
Medication versus surgery for one-sided adrenal hormone problem
This trial compares two ways to treat unilateral primary aldosteronism: taking mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) pills or having minimally invasive surgery. It may help decide which option works best and is safest for people who can choose surgery.
GothenburgAges 18–70 - NCT06250699Recruiting
Rapid recovery after urologic surgery
This trial tests a program to help patients recover faster after urologic surgery. It focuses on making sure you heal well and get back to your normal life quickly.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT06513585Recruiting
Two treatments for primary aldosteronism: embolization vs. surgery
This study compares two treatments for primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure due to an adrenal gland issue). One treatment is a minimally invasive procedure called superselective embolization, and the other is keyhole surgery. This trial aims to see which is better and safer for patients.
Ürümqi, XinjiangAges 18–60 - NCT07027254Recruiting
Can a special PET scan improve surgery for primary aldosteronism?
This study uses a new type of PET scan (called Gallium-68 Pentixafor PET-CT) to help doctors better identify the source of a hormone problem causing high blood pressure. The goal is to see if this scan leads to better surgical outcomes compared to standard methods.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 19 years+ - NCT07252284Recruiting
Study on adrenal vein sampling for primary aldosteronism
This study looks at a test called adrenal venous sampling to help figure out the type of primary aldosteronism you have. The results could guide your doctor in deciding the best treatment, including whether surgery might help.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07181213Enrolling by invitation
Genetic links to high blood pressure
This trial is for people who took part in a large study (SCAPIS) and have both a certain genetic trait and high blood pressure. The goal is to understand how your genes may affect blood pressure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for adrenalectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting adrenalectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a adrenalectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a adrenalectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
