PET/CT scans to find the cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- If you can get pregnant, you agree to use very reliable birth control starting at least 2 weeks before each PET scan

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PentixaFor) to check how well your adrenal glands are working if you have high aldosterone or cortisol levels. It helps doctors see if the glands are making too much hormone, which may guide treatment.
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.
This trial tests if a special PET scan using two different tracers (68Ga-Pentixafor and 68Ga-DOTATATE) can help diagnose Cushing's syndrome and find its cause. It may help doctors better understand your condition and guide treatment.
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.
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.
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.
