Skipping pre-surgery blood pressure medicine for certain adrenal tumors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies whether it is safe to skip a specific pre-surgery blood pressure medicine (alpha-blocker) for people with normal blood pressure who have a pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma in one adrenal gland. It aims to see if fewer pre-op meds can still prevent risky blood pressure surges during surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 70 years old
- You are having one-side adrenal surgery (unilateral total adrenalectomy)
- Your tumor is causing pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma with “normal” blood pressure (not high) and certain lab levels are under 5× the lab’s upper limit
- You can give informed consent (and agree to study participation)
- You are not pregnant

This study follows patients with pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma (rare hormone-producing tumors) who are having surgery. Researchers will monitor your blood pressure closely during and after surgery using continuous monitoring technology and artificial intelligence to better understand and predict blood pressure changes.
This study looks at heart-related complications after surgery to remove an adrenal tumor. It compares people with a rare type of tumor called pheochromocytoma and those with non-harmful adrenal tumors, to see how their heart health changes after the operation.
This study looks at how different types of adrenal tumors might affect the heart during and after surgery. It aims to help doctors understand and reduce the risk of heart injury in patients having these tumors removed.
This study tests a minimally invasive procedure called superselective adrenal arterial embolization for people whose high blood pressure is hard to control with medications. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely lower blood pressure.
This trial tests whether noradrenaline is better than standard care for preventing dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. If you are having non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least an hour and are expected to stay overnight, this study may be for you.
This trial measures hormone levels in blood during a procedure to treat high blood pressure caused by an adrenal gland problem. It may help doctors understand how the body responds during treatment.
