About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Clinical Symptoms of the Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease (PPNAD) and the CARNEY Complex (CNC).

Cohort CNC-PPNAD will be investigated with clinical, genetic, biological and imaging work-up every year during 3 years. Cohort L-MC will be investigated clinically at inclusion and a PERKAR1A genotype will be performed.

Read the detailed description

The primary aim is to assess the clinical manifestations of the CARNEY Complex (CNC) and/or the primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) in patients with CNC, isolated PPNAD or carriers of PRKAR1A and PPNAD1 (PDE11A4) germline mutation (Cohort CNC-PPNAD). In this cohort genotype/phenotype correlation will be studied. A second aim is to determine the frequency of PRKAR1A germline mutation in patients with isolated cardiac myxoma or isolated lentiginosis (Cohort L-MC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary; Complex and Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease, Primary, 1, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To assess the clinical manifestations of the CARNEY Complex (CNC) and/or the primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00668291, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Nov 2025.
