Study of inherited pituitary tumor causes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Have a history of a pituitary tumor, such as acromegaly (growth-hormone excess) in the family or in you
- Or have acromegaly that started at a younger age than usual
- Or have had a pituitary tumor even without a family history
- Be able to understand the study and agree to participate
- If you do not consent, you cannot take part

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new drug called MAR002 to treat acromegaly, a hormone disorder caused by a pituitary tumor that makes too much growth hormone. The drug is designed to help lower hormone levels and improve symptoms.
This study follows people with acromegaly to better understand how treatments are used in real life and how well they work over time. It may help improve future treatment choices by comparing outcomes across different care patterns.
This study is collecting information from people with certain adrenal gland tumors (pheochromocytoma, paraganglioma, or adrenocortical tumor). It aims to learn more about these conditions, which may help improve future care. Both living and deceased patients can be included.
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.
This research study investigates tumors and disorders of the pituitary gland (a small gland that controls many body hormones) and related areas of the brain. You may qualify if you have a pituitary tumor or disorder, or if you have a family history of these conditions.
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.
