Recruiting studies
- NCT06973824Recruiting
20 years of pituitary tumor care
This study looks back at people who had surgery for pituitary tumors over the last 20 years. It aims to understand long-term outcomes and help improve future care.
Rome, ITAges 18 years+ - NCT07335315Recruiting
Ultrasound with contrast for pituitary tumor surgery
This trial is testing a special ultrasound during surgery to see if it can help doctors find pituitary tumors, especially in Cushing's disease. The contrast agent is a tiny bubble that makes the tumor show up better on ultrasound.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT06679816RecruitingPhase 4
Hydrocortisone for hormone replacement in large pituitary tumor surgery
This trial tests hydrocortisone as hormone replacement therapy after surgery for large pituitary tumors. It aims to help patients maintain healthy cortisol levels during recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06760546RecruitingPhase 3
Testing setmelanotide for weight gain after brain injury
This trial tests a daily injection called setmelanotide to see if it can help people who have gained weight due to a brain injury or condition affecting the hypothalamus. It may help reduce hunger and support weight loss.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 4 years+ - NCT06874426Recruiting
How nose surgery on the skull base affects smell
This study looks at how having skull base surgery through the nose affects your sense of smell. It helps doctors learn more about changes in smell after this procedure.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18–70 - NCT00461188Recruiting
Study of inherited pituitary tumor causes
This study looks at the genetics behind pituitary tumors, especially pituitary growth-hormone–related tumors like acromegaly. It may help doctors better understand who these tumors affect and why, which can guide future diagnosis or care.
LeicesterAges 6 years+ - NCT07463625Recruiting
PET scan for finding ACTH-secreting pituitary tumors
This trial tests a special PET scan using a tracer called FET to locate tiny ACTH-producing pituitary tumors (microadenomas) causing Cushing's disease. It might help guide surgery by identifying exactly where the tumor is in the gland.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT06221020Recruiting
Enhanced recovery after pituitary tumor surgery
This study tests a standard care plan to help patients recover faster after surgery to remove a pituitary tumor. It may reduce hospital stay and improve recovery.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–75 - NCT06297473Enrolling by invitation
Phone or video follow-up for pituitary tumor
This trial compares follow-up visits by phone or video to in-person checkups for people with non-functioning pituitary tumors. The goal is to see if remote checkups work just as well.
Køge, Region SjællandAges 18 years+ - NCT06163261Recruiting
Personalized exercise for pituitary tumor recovery
This study tests whether a personalized physical activity plan can improve well-being for people who have had surgery for a non-functioning pituitary adenoma. It aims to see if exercise helps with recovery and quality of life.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18–75 - NCT03014687RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing sinus symptoms after pituitary surgery with antibiotics
This trial studies whether taking antibiotic medicine by mouth after endoscopic pituitary surgery can reduce post-surgery sinus and nasal symptoms. It may help people recover more comfortably and improve specific nasal outcome scores.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–84 - NCT04569591Recruiting
Using DDAVP with PET scans to find pituitary tumor source
This study tests whether giving DDAVP before a PET scan can help doctors better locate the pituitary problem in people with Cushing disease. It may help confirm where the ACTH-producing tumor is so surgery can be planned more accurately.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–99 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT06015802Recruiting
Predicting pituitary tumor behavior with markers and scans
This study looks at whether blood and tissue markers, along with imaging features, can predict how aggressive a pituitary neuroendocrine tumor is and how it may affect long-term health. It aims to improve treatment decisions by better understanding these tumors.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT06353529RecruitingPhase 4
Pain management after pituitary tumor surgery
This study tests a nerve block (called sphenopalatine ganglion block) for pain relief after pituitary tumor surgery through the nose. It aims to see if this block helps manage pain and reduces the need for other pain medicines.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–100 - 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 - 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+ - NCT06584123Recruiting
Molecular imaging of pituitary adenoma with 18F-FET PET
This study uses a special PET scan (18F-FET) to get clearer images of pituitary adenomas (non-cancerous growths at the base of the brain). It is for people who have already had one type of PET scan and can help doctors understand the tumor better without invasive procedures.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18–100 - 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 - 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.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT00599092Recruiting
Pituitary tumor follow-up for people with confirmed pituitary disease
This study focuses on people who already have a confirmed pituitary condition and will look at how tumor findings match with patient results over time. It may help improve how pituitary tumors are monitored and understood.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pituitary?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 58 recruiting pituitary 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 pituitary 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 pituitary 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.
