PET scan for Cushing's syndrome using two tracers
Treatments studied
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special PET scan using two different tracers (68Ga-Pentixafor and 68Ga-DOTATATE) can help diagnose Cushing's syndrome and find its cause. It may help doctors better understand your condition and guide treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have or are suspected to have Cushing's syndrome based on symptoms or abnormal cortisol tests.
- You are willing to have two PET scans with the injected tracers.

- No radioactive drugs in the last 5 half-lives before the scan.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- No known allergy to gallium-based tracers.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses a special PET scan (68Ga-PentixaFor) to check how well your adrenal glands are working if you have high aldosterone or cortisol levels. It helps doctors see if the glands are making too much hormone, which may guide treatment.
This study tests a special imaging scan (PET/CT) to help doctors identify adrenal tumors that produce too much of two hormones: aldosterone and cortisol. If you have both hormone imbalances confirmed by blood tests and are planning surgery to remove your adrenal gland, this scan may help your doctors see exactly where the tumor is.
This study tests a new imaging agent (68Ga-DOTA-CCK-FS) that helps doctors see medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and other tumors with CCK-2 receptors using a PET/CT scan. It may help find or monitor these tumors more clearly.
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
This study uses a special PET scan (FET PET/CT) to help find tiny pituitary tumors causing Cushing disease. The goal is to improve surgery planning so the tumor can be removed successfully.
This study tests a special type of brain scan (PET-MRI) to better find tiny pituitary tumors causing Cushing's disease. It may help people whose standard MRI didn't show a clear tumor.
