Brief summary

To validate the accuracy of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT and adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in subtype diagnosis of PA/ACS patients with adrenal nodules, based on biochemical and clinical remission outcomes, and to determine whether the diagnostic accuracy of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT is non-inferior to AVS.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized crossover trial. Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of primary aldosteronism (PA) or autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) with adrenal nodules were prospectively enrolled. They were randomized to undergo 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT and adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in a crossover design for subtype diagnosis. The treatment strategy was determined based on the diagnostic results, with the primary endpoint being the biochemical complete remission rate at 6 months postoperatively. The study aims to compare the value of these two methods in the subtype diagnosis of PA.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT

Patients in the 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT group will first undergo 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT, followed by adrenal venous sampling (AVS). The subsequent treatment will be guided based on the diagnostic results. The diagnosis of unilateral PA was made if LISUVmax ≥1.50 or or unilateral functional adrenal tumor based on 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTAVS

Patients in the adrenal venous sampling (AVS) group will first undergo adrenal venous sampling (AVS), followed by 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT. The subsequent treatment will be guided based on the diagnostic results. The diagnosis of unilateral PA was made LI ≥ 4 or LI 2-4 with contralateral suppression or typical nodule on the dominant side by CT

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The proportion of complete biochemical remissionAt 6 months of follow-upBlood was drawn to measure aldosterone, renin and potassium.According to PASO criteria, outcomes of adrenalectomy for unilateral primary aldosteronism were classified into complete, partial, and absent success, for both clinical and biochemical outcomes.The proportion of complete biochemical remission according to PASO consensus criteria.

In surgical population, the accuracy in identifying unilateral primary aldosteronism.At 6 months of follow-upBlood was drawn to measure aldosterone, renin and potassium.According to PASO criteria, outcomes of adrenalectomy for unilateral primary aldosteronism were classified into complete, partial, and absent success, for both clinical and biochemical outcomes.the accuracy in identifying unilateral primary according to PASO consensus criteria.
In the surgical treatment group, the remission rate of cortisol autonomous secretionat the 6-month follow-up assessmentBlood was drawn to measure cortisol.The remission of cortisol autonomous secretion is defined as cortisol after 1mg dexamethasone suppression test \<1.8 μg/dL.
