Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05659524Recruiting
Saline rinse after pituitary nose surgery study
This study checks whether rinsing your nose with saline (salt water) after pituitary surgery improves comfort and nasal breathing. It may help patients reduce post-surgery nasal irritation and support better nose outcomes.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 19–85 - NCT06435195Recruiting
Study of rare pituitary and sellar region diseases
This study is collecting information from people with rare diseases of the pituitary gland or nearby areas. It aims to better understand these conditions and improve care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07835412Recruiting
Comparing surgery outcomes for pituitary tumors found during health checkups vs. regular clinic visits
This study looks back at people who had surgery for a pituitary tumor to see if the way the tumor was found—such as during a routine health checkup versus during a visit because of symptoms—affects the surgery and recovery. It might help doctors understand if screening helps catch these tumors earlier.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 1–85 - NCT06523582Recruiting
Genetic study of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients
This study aims to find genetic causes of neuroendocrine tumors in Mexican patients. By understanding your DNA, researchers hope to improve diagnosis and treatment for people with these rare conditions.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05990491Recruiting
Pituitary function after recovery from septic shock in ICU survivors
This study checks how well the pituitary gland (a small gland in your brain that controls hormones) works after you recover from a severe infection that caused dangerously low blood pressure (septic shock). It aims to see if the gland was affected during your ICU stay.
Lucknow, Uttar PradeshAges 18–80 - NCT06705036Recruiting
Study of invasive pituitary tumors in nearby brain areas
This trial studies pituitary tumors that have spread into a nearby area called the cavernous sinus. It aims to learn more about these tumors by looking at donated tissue samples and health information to improve future care.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07594262Recruiting
Understanding Inflammation in Pituitary Tumors
This research study examines the inflammatory environment inside pituitary tumors (small glands in the brain) to better understand how they grow and respond to treatment. You would have surgery to remove the tumor as part of your normal care, and researchers would study the removed tissue to learn more.
Rome, LazioAges 18–100 - NCT07460232RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET scan for Cushing disease pituitary adenomas
This study uses a special PET scan (FET PET/CT) to help find tiny pituitary tumors causing Cushing disease. The goal is to improve surgery planning so the tumor can be removed successfully.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07456878RecruitingPhase 1
New PET/MRI scan for hard-to-find pituitary tumors
This study tests a new type of PET/MRI scan that uses a special tracer (18F-FET) to better find small pituitary tumors that didn't show up on a standard MRI. The goal is to help guide surgery to remove the tumor.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT05601141Recruiting
Study of pituitary disorders in Modena-area clinic patients
This study looks at people with pituitary gland disorders who receive care at a specific endocrinology clinic in Modena. It may help doctors better understand these conditions in the local patient population.
Modena, ModenaAges 18 years+ - NCT07273630Recruiting
Protein supplement and drinking less fluid after pituitary surgery
This study tests whether a protein supplement combined with drinking less fluid can help keep sodium levels stable after pituitary surgery. It is designed for patients who are at risk of sodium imbalances after their operation.
