Of these, 30–50% are responsible for mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), which is frequently associated with hypertension. The impact of adrenalectomy on hypertension in patients with unilateral incidentalomas and MACS remains uncertain. The aim of the CHIRACIC study was to prospectively assess the impact of surgical excision of the incidentaloma on blood pressure with a randomised trial combining accurate blood pressure measurement and standardisation of antihypertensive treatment.<h3>Methods</h3>CHIRACIC was a multicentre, superiority, open-label, parallel, randomised controlled trial performed at 17 university hospitals in France, Italy, and Germany. Adults with hypertension with MACS entered a run-in phase to confirm hypertension with multiple home blood pressure measurements (HBPM) before blood pressure was normalised with standardised stepped-care antihypertensive treatment. Eligible participants were then randomly assigned (1:1) to adrenalectomy or conservative management. Randomisation was blocked (random block size of 4 and 6) and stratified by intensity of antihypertensive treatment. Participants were followed up for 13 months and systematic attempts were made to gradually reduce antihypertensive treatment. The primary endpoint was the proportion of normotensive participants using HBPM who reduced their antihypertensive treatment in the intention-to-treat population at study completion. Key secondary endpoints included 24 h ambulatory blood pressure measurement (ABPM), mean change in antihypertensive treatment, and the proportion of participants with antihypertensive treatment at study completion.

The median age of participants was 63·3 years (IQR 57·4–68·2) and 36 (69%) were female. At study completion, a reduction in antihypertensive treatment with normal HBPM was observed in 12 (46%) of 26 participants treated with adrenalectomy and in four (15%) of 26 treated conservatively (adjusted risk difference [RD] 0·34 [95% CI 0·11 to 0·58]; p=0·0038). Similar results of smaller magnitude were observed for systolic blood pressure during 24 h ABPM.

Mechanistically, TED involves lid retraction, oedema and redness of the eyelids and conjunctiva, proptosis, diplopia, and optic neuropathy. Investigation of TED involves assessment of disease activity (inflammation) and disease severity. TED is predominantly mild in 77% of cases, moderate-to-severe in 22%, and rarely sight-threatening in 1% of patients. While most patients with TED have Graves' hyperthyroidism, up to 5% are euthyroid or even hypothyroid. Risk factors include male sex, older age, smoking, diabetes, hypercholesterolaemia, duration of hyperthyroidism, radioactive iodine therapy, and the presence of thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) antibodies (detectable in more than 95% of patients and directly related to TED activity and severity). Genetic immunisation of mice with TSHR, but not with insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), provides a reliable animal model of TED, demonstrating that TSHR is the primary autoantigen in the disease. Crosstalk between TSHR and IGF-1R occurs via a β-arrestin scaffold. Teprotumumab, a human monoclonal antibody that blocks IGF-1R without binding to TSHR, has been shown to significantly improve outcomes in moderate-to-severe TED, including greater proptosis reduction compared with intravenous methylprednisolone. However, its disadvantages include side effects (eg, hearing loss in 30% of patients), a high cost, and a high relapse rate. Therefore, intravenous steroids remain the treatment of choice in many parts of the world. Tocilizumab, which blocks the interleukin-6 receptor, is an effective treatment option for patients with TED who are steroid-resistant. This Review further discusses alternative medications, surgical treatments, local measures, and the importance of quality-of-life assessments and multidisciplinary care.","PeriodicalId":48790,"journal":{"name":"The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":44.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143901297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors for a short period of time before the administration of high activity <sup>131</sup>I shows promising results with iodine uptake restoration and tumour response. Redifferentiation has been used in patients with <em>BRAF</em>-mutated and <em>RAS</em>-mutated tumours in prospective trials and in the case of patients with <em>RET</em> or <em>NTRK</em> fusions. The iodine uptake restoration ranges from 33% to 95%, and tumour response rates from 11% to 80%.
