Newest Pituitary Adenoma clinical trials

All recruiting trials (16)

• Panitumumab-IRDye800 for guiding brain tumor surgery

  A tiny dose of panitumumab-IRDye800 is tested to see if it helps visualize brain tumors during surgery in adults.

  Recruiting Early Phase 1 Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center · Nashville, Tennessee · NCT07493447

• Fluid-based PET imaging to locate ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas in Cushing disease

  This study tests whether FET PET/CT scanning can accurately locate ACTH-secreting pituitary adenomas in adults with Cushing disease who are planning pituitary surgery.

  Recruiting Early Phase 1 Mayo Clinic · Rochester, Minnesota · NCT07460232

• FET-PET/MRI to locate small hormone-producing pituitary adenomas

  This trial tests whether a special PET/MRI scan called FET-PET/MRI can find small hormone-producing pituitary adenomas in adults whose standard MRI is negative or unclear.

  Recruiting Phase 1 Mayo Clinic · Jacksonville, Florida · NCT07456878

• Intraoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound to locate pituitary adenomas in Cushing's disease

  This pilot tests whether using contrast-enhanced ultrasound during transsphenoidal surgery helps surgeons find and remove pituitary adenomas in people with Cushing's disease.

  Recruiting Mayo Clinic · Rochester, Minnesota · NCT07335315

• Anti-fog suction device during endoscopic pituitary surgery

  This trial tests whether an anti-fog suction device helps keep the view clear during pituitary tumor surgery and whether it lowers brain-fluid infection risk compared with the usual water-squirting method.

  Recruiting West China Hospital · Chengdu, Sichuan · NCT07316101

• Long-term experience with pituitary tumors

  This study looks at the experiences of over 1600 patients who had surgery for pituitary tumors to see what factors might affect their recovery and overall health.

  Recruiting Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · Rome, IT · NCT06973824

• Investigating the effects of endoscopic skull base surgery on smell

  This study tests how endoscopic skull base surgery affects the sense of smell in patients to better understand any smell-related problems that might happen after the surgery.

  Recruiting Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven · Leuven, Vlaams-Brabant and 2 other locations · NCT06874426

• Proton versus photon radiation for adults with primary brain tumors

  This trial will test whether proton beam radiation causes fewer long-term side effects than standard photon (X-ray) radiation in adults aged 18–70 with primary brain tumors who are expected to live more than five years.

  Recruiting Tata Memorial Centre · Mumbai · NCT06831461

• Using hydrocortisone for hormone therapy in patients with large pituitary tumors

  This study is testing if giving hydrocortisone to patients with large pituitary tumors before and after surgery can help prevent adrenal problems compared to a placebo.

  Recruiting Phase 4 Beijing Tiantan Hospital · Beijing, Beijing Municipality · NCT06679816

• 18F-FET PET imaging for pituitary adenomas

  This pilot will test whether 18F-FET PET scans can detect pituitary adenomas as well as 11C-methionine PET scans in adults who previously had Met-PET.

  Recruiting University of Cambridge · Cambridge, Cambridgeshire · NCT06584123

• Evaluating markers and imaging for predicting outcomes in pituitary tumors

  This study is trying to find out if certain blood tests and scans can help predict how aggressive pituitary tumors will be and how well patients will do over time.

  Recruiting Sun Yat-sen University · Guangzhou, Guangdong · NCT06015802

• Impact of Radiotherapy on Neurocognition in Brain Tumor Patients

  This study is testing how radiotherapy affects thinking and memory in adults with brain tumors over time to see if certain treatments lead to cognitive decline.

  Recruiting at 3 sites Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven · Ghent and 2 other locations · NCT05727605

• Observing the growth of non-malignant brain tumors

  This study looks at how non-cancerous brain tumors grow over time in patients who don't have symptoms and aren't needing treatment, using regular MRI scans to track changes.

  Recruiting Seoul National University Hospital · Seoul · NCT05254197

• DDAVP‑stimulated FDG PET to find hidden pituitary microadenomas

  This study will try using a DDAVP injection followed by a high-resolution FDG PET scan to find small pituitary tumors in people with Cushing's disease whose MRIs don't show a clear tumor.

  Recruiting National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC) · Bethesda, Maryland · NCT04569591

• Using 68-Ga DOTATATE PET/MRI to Diagnose and Manage Certain Brain Tumors

  This study is testing if a special type of imaging called 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/MRI can help doctors better diagnose and manage certain brain tumors, especially meningiomas, by telling the difference between tumor recurrence and changes after treatment.

  Recruiting Phase 4 Weill Medical College of Cornell University · New York, New York · NCT04081701

• Using oral antibiotics after pituitary surgery to improve nasal outcomes

  This study is testing if taking oral antibiotics after pituitary surgery can help improve healing in the nose and reduce sinus problems for patients.

  Recruiting Phase 4 St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix · Phoenix, Arizona · NCT03014687

NIH-funded research (1)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Creating a new model to study and treat Cushing's disease

  This study is creating a new lab model of pituitary tumors that cause Cushing's disease, so researchers can better understand the condition and find more effective treatments for patients like you.

Quick answers

How many Pituitary Adenoma clinical trials are recruiting right now?

16, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.

Where are these trials running?

In 9 countries. The most sites are in United States (7 trials), China (3 trials), Belgium (2 trials), South Korea (1 trial), Germany (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.

What phases are they in?

Phase 4: 3, Early Phase 1: 2, Phase 1: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.

How do I join one?

Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
