Study on adrenal gland recovery after steroid treatment in children with leukemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the adrenal glands recover after children with leukemia or lymphoma are treated with steroids. The goal is to see how common adrenal suppression is and to help doctors monitor this safely.

This trial compares two steroid medicines (hydrocortisone and methylprednisolone) to see which one works better for people whose adrenal glands have stopped working properly after taking high doses of steroids for a long time. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to replace the missing hormones.
This study looks at how often adrenal insufficiency happens after surgery for primary aldosteronism, especially in patients who also have an overproduction of cortisol. It helps doctors understand if extra hormone support is needed after surgery.
This study looks at how the body processes a steroid medicine called dexamethasone in children with ALL, and how it might affect bone strength.
This study gathers key health information at the start of treatment for children and teens newly diagnosed with certain types of leukemia or lymphoma. The goal is to find the best way to begin therapy right away, without waiting for extra tests.
This trial tests if a hormone called ACTH can help children with nephrotic syndrome who have frequent relapses or need steroids to stay in remission. It aims to find a treatment that may reduce the need for steroids and prevent relapses.
This study is building a medical database for people with adrenal gland problems like Cushing's syndrome or adrenal tumors. It may help doctors understand these conditions better and improve future care.
