Comparing adrenal vein sampling methods for primary aldosteronism
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares different ways of doing adrenal vein sampling (a test to find which adrenal gland is causing high blood pressure). It aims to see if combining methods works better than using just one for people with primary aldosteronism.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with primary aldosteronism (a condition where your adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, causing high blood pressure).
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have high blood pressure.
- You are willing to have adrenal vein sampling and possibly surgery.
- You do not have severe health problems like heart failure, recent stroke, or poorly controlled diabetes.

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 whether a more intensive approach to lowering blood pressure is better than standard treatment for people with primary aldosteronism (a condition where the adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, leading to high blood pressure). It aims to find which strategy reduces the risk of heart problems more effectively.
This trial looks at whether adding spironolactone to your current blood pressure medicines works better for people with primary aldosteronism (a condition where your adrenal glands make too much aldosterone, raising blood pressure). You may qualify if you have this form of high blood pressure but have declined surgery or don't have an adenoma.
This study compares two ways of doing a test called adrenal vein sampling, which helps doctors find the cause of high blood pressure caused by a hormone problem. The test is done through a vein in the arm, and the study looks at whether using one catheter or two is better. If you have high blood pressure and are being checked for primary aldosteronism, this trial might help improve how the test is done.
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 tests whether a treatment called SAAE can improve “ventricular remodeling,” meaning changes in the heart muscle, in people with primary aldosteronism (PA). It may help the heart work more efficiently by targeting the cause of high aldosterone levels.
