Study summary

Pituitary tumors represent a heterogeneous group of neoplasms by histotype. The pituitary adenomas are the most frequent heteroformation, among those affecting the pituitary gland, followed by meningiomas, craniopharyngiomas, germosomes and tumours secondary, such as metastases and lymphomas. Since these conditions are considered rare, the data epidemiology and prognosis to predict the natural history of these diseases can not be considered conclusive. Pituitary adenomas are a useful model for epidemiology in the study of pathology pituitary. Over the past 20 years, several attempts have been made to identify unique prognostic factors, which predict the outcome of these pathologies, but without To arrive at a definitive classification. The purpose of this study aims to collect clinical, biochemical, morphological and pathological data on the retrospective and prospective cohort of over 1600 patients undergoing neurosurgical removal of pituitary tumors in the last 20 years, to develop a prognostic classification.

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

Started Mar 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2028, 35 months after the start.

Of 33 observational studies under Pituitary Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 163 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 32 and three quarters within 349. This study's planned 35 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 May 15, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
