Tirzepatide Following Adrenalectomy in Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion
A Randomized Clinical Trial of Tirzepatide Following Adrenalectomy in Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion
Mild Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (MACS) is a condition in which an adrenal gland produces excess cortisol and is associated with high blood pressure, diabetes, and weight gain. Surgical removal of the adrenal gland (adrenalectomy) is standard treatment, but some patients continue to have metabolic health problems after surgery.
This randomized study will evaluate whether treatment with tirzepatide after adrenalectomy improves metabolic outcomes in patients with MACS compared with adrenalectomy alone.

Descripción detallada
This prospective, randomized study will enroll adults with MACS and elevated blood pressure who are undergoing unilateral adrenalectomy. Following surgery, participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups: adrenalectomy alone or adrenalectomy followed by tirzepatide therapy for 12 months. Tirzepatide will be prescribed and managed by the study team in accordance with current standard-of-care practices, including routine clinical monitoring and dose adjustments.
The primary focus of the study is to evaluate blood pressure control at 12 months. Secondary outcomes include change in body weight, body mass index, glycemic control, medication burden, and patient-reported quality of life. This study aims to generate preliminary data on the feasibility, safety, and potential additive metabolic benefits of combining pharmacologic incretin-based therapy with surgical management of MACS.

quality of life metrics
Periodo de tiempo: Baseline and 12 months

quality of life metrics will measured using the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) which is a validated measure of health-related quality of life assessing eight domains: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health.
Each domain is scored from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better health status.
Domain scores may be analyzed individually or combined using standard scoring algorithms to generate the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores, which are norm-based (mean 50, SD 10); higher values reflect better physical and mental health, respectively.
