Guiding curative treatment for primary aldosteronism with a hybrid steroid
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special type of steroid medicine can help guide treatment for primary aldosteronism, a condition that causes high blood pressure. If the tests show the problem is in one adrenal gland, you might be able to have surgery to cure it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (a hormonal condition that causes high blood pressure).
- You must be willing to undergo special tests to find out if one or both adrenal glands are the cause, such as adrenal vein sampling (a procedure to take blood from the adrenal veins) and/or a PET/CT scan (an imaging test).
- You must be interested in surgery to remove the affected adrenal gland if tests show the problem is on one side only.
- You must be able to give written consent to participate.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two treatments for primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure due to an adrenal gland issue). One treatment is a minimally invasive procedure called superselective embolization, and the other is keyhole surgery. This trial aims to see which is better and safer for patients.
This trial compares two ways to treat unilateral primary aldosteronism: taking mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) pills or having minimally invasive surgery. It may help decide which option works best and is safest for people who can choose surgery.
This study looks at the genes and molecules in people with primary aldosteronism (a condition where the adrenal glands make too much of the hormone aldosterone), primary hypertension (high blood pressure), and healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand these conditions and find better ways to diagnose and treat them.
This study tests whether taking a steroid (hydrocortisone) after adrenal gland surgery helps protect kidney function in people with primary aldosteronism and chronic kidney disease. It could slow down further kidney damage.
This study looks at a test called adrenal venous sampling, which helps doctors find out which adrenal gland is causing your high blood pressure. Taking part may help doctors decide if surgery could fix the problem.
This trial studies whether a specific treatment (related to spironolactone/aldosterone support) can improve how well your blood vessels work in people with primary aldosteronism. It may help reduce blood pressure risk by improving blood vessel health.
