PET scan for adrenal hormone condition before and after treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial uses a special PET scan to look at a hormone gland condition called primary aldosteronism, which can cause high blood pressure. It aims to see if the scan helps doctors plan treatment and check results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You either have or are suspected to have primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure due to adrenal gland overactivity), or you are a healthy volunteer.
- You are scheduled for a 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT scan.
- You can give your permission (or have someone do it for you) to take part in this research.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial uses a special PET scan to see how well it can find and track different types of cancer. It may help doctors better understand your cancer.
This trial tests a special PET scan using a tracer that attaches to certain markers (PSMA and FAP) found on some cancers. It aims to help doctors see where the cancer is, possibly leading to better treatment decisions.
This trial tests a special PET scan (using a tracer called PentixaFor) to see if it can help find which adrenal gland is making too much aldosterone in people with primary aldosteronism. The goal is to reduce the need for more invasive tests like adrenal vein sampling.
This trial tests a special PET scan (68Ga-Pentixafor) to see if it can replace a more invasive blood test (AVS) for finding which adrenal gland is causing high blood pressure and high cortisol levels. It may help patients avoid a complicated procedure.
This trial tests a special PET scan that may help doctors find the exact cause of high blood pressure related to an adrenal gland problem. It could help decide if surgery or medicine is the best treatment for you.
This study uses a new type of PET scan (called Gallium-68 Pentixafor PET-CT) to help doctors better identify the source of a hormone problem causing high blood pressure. The goal is to see if this scan leads to better surgical outcomes compared to standard methods.
