Clinical Trials for Adrenal Insufficiency & Addison's Disease

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) and other components of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) conduct and support research into many diseases and conditions, including adrenal insufficiency.

What are clinical trials for adrenal insufficiency?

Clinical trials—and other types of clinical studies—are part of medical research and involve people like you. When you volunteer to take part in a clinical study, you help doctors and researchers learn more about disease and improve health care for people in the future.

Researchers are studying many aspects of adrenal insufficiency to

• Learn more about conditions that affect the endocrine glands
• Identify effective treatment regimens

Find out if clinical studies are right for you.

What clinical trials for adrenal insufficiency are looking for participants?

You can view a filtered list of clinical studies on adrenal insufficiency that are open and recruiting at www.ClinicalTrials.gov. You can expand or narrow the list to include clinical studies from industry, universities, and individuals; however, the NIH does not review these studies and cannot ensure they are safe. Always talk with your health care provider before you participate in a clinical study.
