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 study compares a newer, less invasive PET/CT scan (using 68Ga-Pentixafor) to the standard adrenal vein sampling test to identify which adrenal gland is causing high blood pressure in people with primary aldosteronism. If you're considering surgery to remove a nodule on your adrenal gland, this trial may help determine the best approach.
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 trial studies whether blocking part of the adrenal blood supply (“adrenal artery ablation”) along with spironolactone can improve hormone-driven high blood pressure caused by primary aldosteronism. It may help people who have confirmed adrenal overactivity and do not want surgery.
This trial tests whether using one small tube (catheter) in a vein in the arm is as effective as using two tubes to collect blood from the adrenal glands to help diagnose high blood pressure caused by hormone issues.
