New Clinical Trial: Optimal Methods of Disease Progression and Survival Analysis in Children and Adults Patients With Adrenocortical Cancer (ACC) (NCT04358107)

Researchers are studying 1,000 children and adults with adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), a rare cancer of the adrenal glands. They want to understand why some people survive longer than others and whether certain treatments work better. The average person with ACC lives about 14.5 months after diagnosis, but survival times vary widely.

WHY IT MATTERSThis study is actively collecting data that could help doctors better predict outcomes and choose more effective treatments for ACC patients, though it is not currently recruiting new participants.
