Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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 - NCT07254104Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
PET imaging for hard-to-treat pituitary tumors
This trial uses a special PET scan to see if a new imaging agent can find hard-to-treat pituitary tumors that have come back after surgery. It may help doctors decide the best way to manage these tumors.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07034859Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Cabergoline for nonfunctioning pituitary tumors
This trial tests if cabergoline, a medicine, can help shrink nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas (benign tumors on the pituitary gland that don't produce excess hormones). It may be an option for people who have not had prior radiation or surgery, and whose tumors are at least 0.5 cm in size.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 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+ - NCT06448195RecruitingPhase 4
Growth Hormone for Fatty Liver After Pituitary Surgery
This trial tests whether growth hormone therapy can improve liver health and metabolic function in people who have fatty liver after pituitary tumor surgery. It is for adults with growth hormone deficiency who have excess fat in their liver.
ShanghaiAges 18–60 - NCT06899373Enrolling by invitation
Study on glucose and stress in firefighters
This study looks at how stress affects glucose levels in firefighters. It may help find ways to monitor stress and improve health.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT06295952RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Pasireotide for Prolactinoma
This trial tests a drug called pasireotide for people with prolactinoma (a type of pituitary tumor) who cannot use standard dopamine agonist medicines or whose tumors do not shrink enough with them. It may be an option if surgery isn't right for you.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT03678389Recruiting
Check feasibility of a coil for pituitary surgery imaging
This trial tests whether a special coil can be placed during pituitary tumor surgery to improve imaging while the surgeon is operating. It may help surgeons see the pituitary area in real time during a transsphenoidal (through the nose) operation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT04081701RecruitingPhase 4
Ga-68 DOTATATE PET/MRI for somatostatin-receptor brain tumors
This trial tests how well a special scan (Ga-68 DOTATATE PET combined with MRI) helps diagnose and guide treatment for certain brain tumors that have somatostatin receptors. It may help doctors better find tumor recurrence or remaining tumor after treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT04121780RecruitingPhase 2
Growth hormone treatment for retired NFL players with low hormone
This Phase 2 study tests whether growth hormone replacement helps retired professional football players who have been diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency. You may be considered if you meet age and health requirements and have the specific hormone diagnosis.
Dearborn, MichiganAges 18–76 - NCT04278118Recruiting
Proton radiation study for non-cancer brain tumor types
This trial tests a radiation plan that gives treatment in fewer, larger “fractions” using proton beams (or sometimes photon beams) for certain non-cancer brain tumor types. It aims to see how well this approach works while keeping side effects manageable.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05139277Recruiting
Using a imaging system during brain tumor surgery
This study tests the CONVIVO system to help surgeons see certain brain tumors during surgery. It may help make operations safer and more effective by improving how tumors are identified.
Lebanon, New HampshireAges 18 years+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06193135Recruiting
Comparing two ovarian stimulation medications for egg donors
This trial compares two different medications (Corifollitropin alpha and daily rFSH) to stimulate egg production in healthy egg donors. It aims to see if a single injection of Corifollitropin alpha works as well as the usual daily shots, making the process simpler and more comfortable.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–35 - NCT06282224Recruiting
Augmented reality for skull base surgery through the nose
This study tests whether using an augmented reality (AR) navigation system can help surgeons perform skull base surgery through the nose more accurately. If you are already planning this type of surgery and have had the required scans, you may be eligible.
Xiamen, FujianAges Any age - NCT06472505Recruiting
Using a special mesh to prevent fluid leaks after pituitary surgery
This trial tests if using a polyglycolic acid mesh during endoscopic nasal surgery for pituitary tumors can help prevent cerebrospinal fluid leakage. This may reduce the risk of complications after surgery.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT06587035Recruiting
Study of somatrogon for pediatric growth hormone deficiency in India
This study looks at how well somatrogon works for children 3 years and older with growth hormone deficiency. It may help you understand if this treatment is an option for your child.
Bengaluru, KarnatakaAges 3–17 - NCT06618703Recruiting

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.
