Study summary

To compare the effect of different procedures of AVS(after 1mg DST or not) in determining the subtypes and long-term outcomes of PA

Read the detailed description

All paticipants will be randomly divided into 1mg DST group(Intervention group,n=43) and placebo group(Control group,n=43) and to determining the subtypes and to compare the long-term outcomes of patients with PA.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Complete biochemical remission

    Compare the rate of complete biochemical remission between two groups. Blood 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.

    Time frame: 1year

  2. Complete clinical remission

    Compare the rate of complete clinical remission between two groups. Blood 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.

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. Daily defined doses of antihypertensive agents

    The daily defined doses of antihypertensive agents of patients' blood pressure well controlled

    Time frame: 1 year

  2. Successful catheterization rate

    Calculate the successful rate of catheterization. Successful catheterization was defined as SI≥2 without ACTH stimulation or SI≥3 with ACTH stimulation.

    Time frame: procedure

  3. Adverse events

    Including adrenal venous hemorrhage and related adrenal insufficiency, hypertensive urgencies, anaphylactic shock, venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism.

    Time frame: 3 month

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Jan 2021 to primary completion in Oct 2022, 21 months.

Of 36 interventional studies with no phase under Hyperaldosteronism, half reached primary completion within 36 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 21 and three quarters within 59. This study's 21 months is below that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 1, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
