Ethanol injection for aldosterone-producing adrenal tumor
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests if injecting ethanol through an endoscope into a left-sided adrenal tumor can lower high blood pressure caused by excess aldosterone. It may be an option for patients who cannot or do not want to have surgery to remove the tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a benign tumor on your left adrenal gland that makes too much aldosterone.
- You cannot or do not want to have surgery to remove the tumor.
- You are not allergic to alcohol.
- You can temporarily stop taking certain medications like blood thinners or beta-blockers if needed.
- You do not have other serious health problems that would make the procedure unsafe.

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 study tests a procedure that blocks tiny arteries in the adrenal gland to treat high blood pressure and low potassium caused by aldosteronism. It may be an option if you cannot take medications or cannot have surgery.
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 studies whether a procedure called endoscopic ultrasound–guided radiofrequency ablation can treat primary aldosteronism (a hormone condition that can raise blood pressure and potassium issues). It may help shrink an overactive adrenal growth and reduce the need for surgery for some people.
This trial measures hormone levels in blood during a procedure to treat high blood pressure caused by an adrenal gland problem. It may help doctors understand how the body responds during treatment.
This trial compares two treatments—ultrasound-guided ablation and laparoscopic adrenalectomy—for a type of adrenal tumor called aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) that causes high blood pressure and low potassium. The goal is to see which treatment works better for patients with a single, non-cancerous tumor.
