Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the effect of different procedures of AVS(with or without ACTH stimulation) on the long-term outcomes of patients with PA

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective and randomized study involving patients with primary aldosteronism(PA) who completed AVS.

All paticipants will be randomized into ACTH-stimulated group(Intervention group) and ACTH-unstimulated group(Control group) Cannulation was considered successful when the selectivity index (SI), namely plasma cortisol concentration (PCC) in adrenal vein/PCC in IVC≥3 with ACTH stimulation or SI≥2 without ACTH stimulation. The ratio of PAC: PCC on the side with the higher ratio over the contralateral PAC: PCC ratio is defined as the lateralization index (LI). Lateralization of aldosterone excess was defined as LI≥4 irrespective of ACTH use. Patients with LI between 2 and 4 together with contralateral suppression (PAC/PCC of non-dominant side \< PAC/PCC of IVC) or CT showing a typical adenoma on the dominant side were also considered to have lateralized disease. Patients with LI \< 2 or LI 2-4 without meeting the above criteria were diagnosed as BPA.

In case of technical AVS failure or bilateral PAC/PCC in adrenal venous blood lower than peripheral blood, if the patient meets one of the following criteria, adrenalectomy was recommended: 1) unilateral nodule on CT (≥ 1 cm), no observable nodules or hyperplasia on contralateral adrenal, and PAC ≥ 20 ng/dl, PRC \< 5 μIU/ml, K ≤ 3.5mmol/l; 2) unilateral nodule on CT (≥ 1 cm), no observable nodules or hyperplasia on contralateral adrenal, and the contralateral index≤0.5 in AVS.

Surgical intervention is recommended for unilateral PA (UPA) whereas bilateral PA (BPA) is typically treated with oral mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists such as spironolactone. The aim is to compare the long-term outcomes of patients with PA.

To evaluate whether the treatment decision (surgical or medical treatment) based on different AVS procedures (with or without ACTH stimulation) would lead to different outcomes in patients with PA.

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

AVS with ACTH stimulation

Patients divided into AVS with ACTH stimulation group need to undergo stimulation with a continuous cosyntropin infusion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Adrenocorticotropic hormone

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients divided into Intervention group need to undergo stimulation with a continuous cosyntropin infusion (50 μg/h started 30 minutes before sampling during AVS). Right and left adrenal venous blood and corresponding peripheral venous blood should be sampled sequentially.

AVS without ACTH stimulation

Patients divided into AVS without ACTH stimulation group take the same procedure of AVS with a continuous saline infusion.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Aged between 18-70, male or female, with legal capacity
2. PA diagnosis confirmed by at least one confirmatory test: positive PA screening (ARR≥ 2.0 ng·dl-1/IU·l-1) and at least one positive PA confirmatory test (PAC-post CCT ≥11 ng/dl, PAC-post SSIT≥8·0 ng/dl, or if confirmatory tests were in grey zone (i.e, PAC 8-11 ng/ml two hours after administration of 50 mg captopril or PAC 60-80 pg/ml after the infusion of 2L normal saline), PAC-post FST≥6·0 ng/dl);

Exclusion Criteria

1. refusal by the patient to undergo AVS or adrenalectomy;
2. meeting the criteria for bypassing AVS \[i.e. younger than 35 years old, with typical aldosterone-producing adenomas characteristics (plasma aldosterone \>30ng/dl, serum potassium \<3·5mmol/l, CT indicated unilateral 1cm low-density adenoma) ;
3. allergic to ACTH or contrast media;
4. pregnant or lactating women;
5. patients with a history of uncontrolled malignant tumor;
6. complicated with Cushing's syndrome \[including subclinical Cushing: cortisol after 1mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST)\>138 nmol/l or cortisol after 1mg DST 50-138 nmol/l plus adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)\<10pg/ml;
7. diagnosed with familial hyperaldosteronism;
8. with imaging characteristics suggestive of pheochromocytoma or adrenal cortical carcinoma;
9. patients unsuitable for surgery, such as those with heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV), severe anemia (Hemoglobin\<60g/L), stroke or acute coronary syndrome within 3 months, severe ascites and cirrhosis, estimated glomerulus filtration rate\<30ml/min/m2;
10. with alcohol or drug abuse and active mental health disorders.
