Radiomic and Pathomic Study of Pituitary Adenoma Using Machine Learning

Study Purpose

Refractory pituitary adenoma is characterized by invasive tumor growth, continuous growth and/or hormone hypersecretion in spite of standardized multi-modal treatment such as surgeries, medications or radiations. Quality of life or even lives are threatened by these tumors. According to the 2017 World Health Organization's new classification guideline of pituitary adenoma, patients have to suffer from symptoms or complications caused by these tumors, to bear a heavy financial burden, and to accept additional therapeutic side effects when the diagnosis of "refractory pituitary adenoma" is made. If refractory pituitary adenoma could be predicted at early stage, these patients would be able to have a more frequent clinical follow-up, receive multiple effective treatment as early as possible, or even be enrolled in clinical trials of investigational medications, so as to prevent or delay the recurrence or persistent of the tumor growth. Therefore, the unmet clinical need falls into an early prediction system for refractory pituitary adenomas, which could provide accurate guidance for subsequent treatment in the early stage. The investigators have constructed a pituitary adenoma database including clinical data, radiological images, pathological images and genetic information. The investigators are proposing a study using machine learning to extract features from these multi-dimensional, multi-omics data, which could be further used to train a prediction model for the risk of refractory pituitary adenoma. The proposed model would also be validated in another prospectively collected database. The established model would be able to identify potential medication targets and provide guidance for personalized therapy of refractory pituitary adenoma.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05108064
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
