Study population: 13 patients with an ACC on mitotane therapy will be investigated. Median age of the ACC and mitotane group: 63.0 (IQR: 46, 72.5) 22% of the studied population were Caucasian white, 14.3% Southeast Asian, 11.4% Black Afro-Caribbean, 2.9% other and 2.9% missing. 6 (46.2%) of the patients with an ACC and on mitotane were male, and 7 (53.8%) were female. 6 (46.2%) individuals with an ACC and on mitotane had a stage of III and 7 (53.8%) had stage IV (according to the AJCC and ENSAT staging system).

About this study

This work will evaluate the effects of mitotane treatment on serum protein concentrations in patients treated for ACC with mitotane therapy and compare them to patients with an adrenal neoplasm and pregnant cohort. All of the individuals were treated at King's Hospital between April 2019 and June 2020. Proteins which will be evaluated during this study, include CBG and TBG.

Read the detailed description

Background: Adrenocortical Carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy of the adrenal cortex. The annual incidence of ACC is thought to be between 0.5-2.0 cases per million. Adjunctive therapy with mitotane may be offered post- surgically to minimise risk of recurrence.

Aims: Evaluate the effects of mitotane treatment on serum protein concentrations in patients treated for ACC with mitotane therapy and compare to patients with an adrenal neoplasm and a pregnant cohort. Patients were treated at King's Hospital between April 2019 and June 2020.

Methods: Cortisol, TFT's ACTH, CBG, TBG and gonadotrophins will be measured during the same venepuncture using serum samples. SPSS v27 and GraphPad Prism v9.3.1 will be used for analysis and illustrations. Thirty-five patients will be included, within ACC with mitotane, adrenal neoplasm or pregnant groups. Data will be tested for normality, described as Mean± SD, compared using paired sample t-test with 5% p-value for significance and 95% confidence interval (CI).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MitotaneDrug

    Individuals within the intervention group were on mitotane therapy as part of their ACC treatment.

Study groups in NCT05344027
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ACC on mitotaneIndividuals in this group were under care by the Endocrinology Team with a diagnosis of an ACC and on mitotane. These individuals were further divided into 3 groups, depending on whether they had a mitotane plasma concentration, within (14-20mg/L), above or below the therapeutic concentration range.
Receives: Drug: Mitotane
Adrenal neoplasm without mitotaneIndividuals within this category had an adrenal neoplasm and were not being treated with mitotane therapy.
Pregnant groupIndividuals did not have an adrenal neoplasm during this period, nor were they being treated with mitotane. These were healthy pregnant females, who were under the care at KCL during their pregnancy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Examine the effect of mitotane therapy on serum thyroid and cortisol binding proteins in patients with ACC

    The primary objective of this project is to determine the effects of mitotane therapy on serum thyroid binding and cortisol binding protein concentrations in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma and compare concentrations of the same binding proteins in patients with adrenal neoplasms not on treatment with mitotane and to a cohort of pregnant women.

    Measured: April 2019-June 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adrenocortical Carcinoma, run by King's College Hospital NHS Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 0 inclusion and 1 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 8 Mar 2023. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Examine the effect of mitotane therapy on serum thyroid and cortisol binding proteins in patients with ACC (time frame: April 2019-June 2020). 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 NCT05344027, which also lists 15 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 8 Mar 2023.
