68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT Versus Adrenal Vein Sampling in Diagnosing Unilateral Subtype of Primary Aldosteronism Concurrent With Autonomous Cortisol Secretion (PREDICT)
68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT: Patients in the 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT group will first undergo 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT, followed by adrenal venous sampling (AVS). The subsequent treatment will be guided based on the diagnostic results.
The diagnosis of unilateral PA was made if LISUVmax ≥1.50 or or unilateral functional adrenal tumor based on 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT
AVS: Patients in the adrenal venous sampling (AVS) group will first undergo adrenal venous sampling (AVS), followed by 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT. The subsequent treatment will be guided based on the diagnostic results.
The diagnosis of unilateral PA was made LI ≥ 4 or LI 2-4 with contralateral suppression or typical nodule on the dominant side by CT
Study summary
To validate the accuracy of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT and adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in subtype diagnosis of PA/ACS patients with adrenal nodules, based on biochemical and clinical remission outcomes, and to determine whether the diagnostic accuracy of 68Ga-Pentixafor PET/CT is non-inferior to AVS.

Primary outcome measure(s)
The proportion of complete biochemical remission — At 6 months of follow-up 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.
