Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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+ - NCT07493447RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Imaging dye to help see brain tumors during surgery
This study tests a special dye (panitumumab-IRDye800) that helps surgeons see brain lesions more clearly during surgery. The dye attaches to a protein on cancer cells and lights up under a special camera, which may help remove more tumor safely.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07866846Recruiting
Ketogenic diet for blood sugar side effects of pasireotide in acromegaly
This study tests whether a low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet can help manage high blood sugar caused by the medication pasireotide, which is used to treat acromegaly. If you are being considered for or already taking pasireotide and your blood sugar is rising, this diet might help you avoid or reduce the need for diabetes medications.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05727605Recruiting
Thinking changes after radiotherapy for brain and skull-base tumors
This trial studies how radiotherapy affects memory and thinking in adults with certain brain or skull-base tumors. It may help doctors understand who is most likely to have thinking changes and how to monitor or support patients.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT07824102Recruiting
Study of LH and hCG hormones in adults with hormone disorders
This trial looks at the role of two natural hormones, LH and hCG, in adults who are being checked for hormone-related conditions. It may help doctors understand your hormone health better.
HerlevAges 18–90 - NCT07712328Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Desmopressin during complex sellar tumor surgery
This trial tests whether giving desmopressin (a drug that helps the body hold onto water) during surgery can prevent fluid and sodium balance problems in people having complex pituitary or sellar region tumor surgery. It’s designed for those at higher risk of these issues.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT05254197Recruiting
Brain tumor monitoring study with follow-up brain scans
This study follows people with lower-grade (WHO grade 2 or less) brain tumors using repeat MRI scans over time. It helps doctors understand how these tumors change and which patients may safely delay treatment at first.
SeoulAges 18 years+ - NCT07595666Enrolling by invitation
New PET scanner versus standard PET for head and neck imaging
This study compares a newer PET/CT scanner (called NeuroEXPLORER) with standard PET/CT scanners for imaging the head and neck region. The goal is to see if the new scanner provides better or clearer images to help diagnose conditions.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 4 weeks+ - NCT07568509RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Oxytocin levels in children with pituitary disease
This study measures oxytocin (a natural hormone) levels in children who have pituitary gland problems. Researchers want to understand if children with certain pituitary conditions don't make enough oxytocin, which could help guide future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 7–21 - NCT07464860Recruiting
Breathwork for older adults after knee surgery
This study tests a breathing exercise program to help older adults recover after knee replacement surgery. Participants practice controlled breathing at home using a smartphone or computer.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 65 years+ - NCT03382158Recruiting
Learn about DICER1-related tumors through a patient registry
This registry collects information about people with known or suspected DICER1-related conditions, including certain rare chest and other tumor types. It helps doctors and researchers understand these conditions better and may support future studies.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT07316101Recruiting
Anti-fog device for brain tumor surgery through the nose
This trial tests a new anti-fog drainage device used during endoscopic pituitary tumor surgery. The device may help keep the surgeon's view clear and improve drainage after surgery.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT07179926Recruiting
Impact of pasireotide on bone health in acromegaly
This trial studies how pasireotide LAR—a drug that controls growth hormone levels—affects bone health in people with acromegaly whose disease is not well-controlled after 6 months of another therapy. It may help patients understand the bone benefits of switching to this treatment.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06949891Recruiting
Keto diet for acromegaly
This trial tests if a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet can help lower IGF-I levels in people with acromegaly who are already on stable medication. If you have acromegaly and your IGF-I levels are still above normal despite treatment, this diet might offer an additional way to manage your condition.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07143266Recruiting
Sleep study for people with pituitary and hypothalamus conditions
This study looks at sleep problems in people whose hypothalamus or pituitary gland does not work normally. It compares their sleep with healthy volunteers to better understand how these conditions affect rest.
BarcelonaAges 18–70 - NCT07108244Enrolling by invitation
Better brain scan for small pituitary tumors in Cushing's disease
This study tests a special type of brain scan (PET-MRI) to better find tiny pituitary tumors causing Cushing's disease. It may help people whose standard MRI didn't show a clear tumor.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06861530Recruiting
Study on adrenal gland recovery after steroid treatment in children with leukemia
This study looks at how the adrenal glands recover after children with leukemia or lymphoma are treated with steroids. The goal is to see how common adrenal suppression is and to help doctors monitor this safely.
AarauAges Up to 18 years - NCT06846853RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two contrast dyes for pituitary MRI
This trial compares two contrasting dyes (gadopiclenol and gadobutrol) used during pituitary MRI scans to see which one provides clearer images. It is for adults with known or suspected pituitary lesions that disrupt the blood-brain barrier.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 19 years+ - NCT06831461Recruiting
Proton vs photon radiation for brain tumors
This study compares two types of radiation therapy for adults with primary brain tumors that have a good outlook (expected survival longer than 5 years). You will receive either standard photon radiation or the more targeted proton radiation, to see if one works better or causes fewer side effects.
MumbaiAges 18–70 - NCT06618703Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pituitary?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 56 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.
