Endocrine DiseaseNCT03867448
Study of Endocrine-Related Conditions and Physiology
An observational study of Endocrine Disease, run by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Background: Endocrine disorders involve changes to glands that produce hormones. Hormones are released by these glands into the blood so they can direct the function of other tissues in the body. Researchers want to study people who may have endocrine disorders. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: The Evaluation and Management of Endocrine-Related Conditions and Physiology
Background:
Endocrine disorders involve changes to glands that produce hormones. Hormones are released by these glands into the blood so they can direct the function of other tissues in the body. Researchers want to study people who may have endocrine disorders. They want to learn more about the conditions that affect endocrine glands.

Objective:
To study adults with a variety of endocrine disorders for research and physician education.
Eligibility:
Adults ages 18 and older who have an endocrine or metabolic-related disorder
Healthy volunteers 18 and older
Design:
Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records.
Participants will have a physical exam and medical history.
The length of the study and the schedule will vary by participant. Tests may include:
Blood and urine tests
Stool and saliva samples
Imaging studies: Participants will lie on a table while a machine takes pictures of the body. They may be injected with a substance to make their organs more visible in the pictures.
Tests of endocrine tissue function
Consultation with other specialists
Sleep study
Medical photographs
Participants may be treated for their endocrine disorder. This could include:
Surgery. If tissue is removed during surgery, it may be studied.
Radiation
Medicine
Participants may have genetic testing. This will be done with a small amount of blood, cells from a cheek swab, or saliva.

Study Description:
This study allows the NIH Intramural Endocrinology Training Program (IETP) to follow or provide evaluation, treatment and or interventions to certain eligible subjects.
Objectives:
- To provide a repository of data and samples obtained during the course of clinical care to allow for future research.
- To add value to the IEFP training program by maintaining a diverse group of endocrine conditions seen at the NIH.
- To provide a vehicle by which pilot studies of endocrine physiology can be initiated.
- To identify prismatic cases that deviate from known presentations or responses to treatment.
- To evaluate the safety and results from adrenal venous sampling using a modified catheter with side hole placement.
Endpoints:
- Data from standard of care evaluation and management.
- Adverse events during and after adrenal vein sampling; cortisol and aldosterone results from the sampling.
- Conditions
- Endocrine Disease
- Being tested
- Creation of side holes in catheters for adrenal vein sampling
- Keywords
- Adrenal Gland, Pituitary, Natural History
- Medical subject headings
- Endocrine System Diseases, Pituitary Diseases
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Creation of side holes in catheters for adrenal vein samplingDevice
one or two side-holes will be created by the interventional radiologist to facilitate adrenal vein sampling
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Adults with Endocrine Disorder | Adults referred to NIH with possible endocrine conditions | |
| Adults with hyperaldosteronism | Adults referred to NIH or studied at NIH and determined to have hyperaldosteronism Receives: Device: Creation of side holes in catheters for adrenal vein sampling |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Diagnosis/Treatment
determination of diagnosis and/or treatment of an endocrine disorder
Measured: variable
