Predictive Value of Serum and Tissue Molecular Markers and Imaging Features in the Invasiveness and Prognosis of Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors

Study Purpose

As the clinical manifestations of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors vary greatly, 2.7-15% of them are resistant to conventional treatments such as surgery, drug therapy and radiotherapy, and often relapse or regrow in the early postoperative period, which is invasive and has a poor prognosis. Therefore, it is important to find imaging, histological or serum molecular markers for early prediction of the invasiveness and clinical prognosis of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors. The aim of this study is to observe the changes of biomarkers and imaging features in serum or tissues of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors during the course of disease and treatment, and to explore the biomarkers and imaging features that can predict the proliferation, progression and recurrence risk of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors after medical or surgical treatment.

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 - 70 Years
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.

NCT06015802
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.
