Hydrocortisone vs Prednisone During Recovery Following Surgical Cure for Endogenous Hypercortisolism: A Longitudinal Observational Study Introduction: Glucocorticoid withdrawal syndrome (GWS) is a constellation of symptoms that occurs after successful surgery for endogenous hypercortisolism. The objective of this study is to compare hydrocortisone versus prednisone on GWS symptoms. Methods: Study design: Single-center prospective longitudinal cohort study, 2019-2023. Participants: Adults with Cushing syndrome (CS) and mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) with post-operative adrenal insufficiency treated with either hydrocortisone or prednisone for glucocorticoid replacement. Measurements: Clinical and biochemical severity scores for hypercortisolism were calculated. Quality of life (QOL) was assessed using Short Form-36 (SF-36) and Cushing QOL surveys. GWS was assessed using weekly AddiQoL surveys for the first 12 weeks after surgery. Results: Of 131 patients, 91 (69%) patients were treated with hydrocortisone and 40 (31%) with prednisone. No differences in age (median age 51 vs 53 years, P=0.62), sex (84 vs 85% women, P=0.83), etiology of hypercortisolism (ACTH-dependent: 44% vs 48%, P=0.26), clinical severity of hypercortisolism (median score 13 vs 12, P=0.97), or biochemical severity of hypercortisolism (median score of 6 in both, P=0.31) were noted between groups. When assessed at 4-, 8-, and 12-weeks post-surgery, the prevalence and trajectory of symptoms (fatigue, myalgias/arthralgias, sleep, headaches, nausea, weakness) were similar in patients treated with hydrocortisone and prednisone (P>0.05 for all). However, patients treated with prednisone were less likely to report mood changes (8.5% vs 20.9%, P= 0.004) compared to those treated with hydrocortisone. When compared to the presurgical baseline, the overall Cushing QOL score 12 weeks post-surgery improved in both groups (mean delta 8.9 vs 13.0, P=0.21). No differences in the hydrocortisone vs prednisone treatment were found in the SF-36 physical component score (mean delta of -1.7 vs 0.3, P=0.23) and SF-36 mental component score (mean delta 2.3 vs 5.0, P=0.22). Using multivariable analysis, age (estimate 0.22, P= 0.005), clinical severity score (estimate -0.73, P<0.001), female sex (estimate -5.45, P= 0.046) but not glucocorticoid type (estimate -0.06, P=0.98) were associated with the overall GWS symptom burden at 12 weeks. Conclusion: Use of prednisone after curative surgery for hypercortisolism was associated with lower mood symptoms, but did not impact the overall severity or trajectory of other symptoms associated with GWS. Baseline clinical severity of hypercortisolism, age, and female sex were associated with GWS burden. Presentation: 6/1/2024

Background: ENPP1 Deficiency is a rare disorder due to inactivating mutations in the ENPP1 gene that result in low levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), a critical regulator of mineralization. Subsequent pathologic soft tissue calcification results in severe vascular calcification and ∼50% infant mortality. By early adolescence the majority of survivors develop FGF-23 mediated hypophosphatemic rickets, characterized by bone deformities, short stature, joint/ligament calcification and musculoskeletal pain. No targeted therapy exists for this disease. INZ-701 is a recombinant ENPP1-Fc investigational product. Purpose: To describe the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and exploratory efficacy (bone and mineral metabolism biomarkers and clinical outcomes) of INZ-701 in adults with ENPP1 Deficiency through the end of the phase 2 study period (week 48). Methods: Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label, multiple ascending dose study including three adults in each of three dose cohorts (0.2, 0.6 and 1.8 mg/kg, total N=9) with genetic variants in ENPP1 and PPi <1300 nM (NCT04686175). Participants were dosed subcutaneously on Day 1, then twice weekly from Day 8 to end of study. Data through wk 48 as of July 6, 2023 are included; topline wk 48 data will be presented. Per protocol, participants may continue to receive INZ-701 beyond wk 48. Results: Rapid increase in mean PPi from baseline of 426±407 nM was noted in all patients, reaching the healthy volunteer range within 6 hrs of the first dose with sustained elevation through wk 48. Mean PPi across the 0.2, 0.6 and 1.8 mg/kg dose cohorts from day 32 to wk 48 was 1299±131 nM, 1356±136 nM, and 1282±81 nM, respectively. There were improvements from baseline to wk 48 in mean pooled FGF-23 (-22 pg/mL) and serum phosphate (+0.18 mg/dL), with dose-dependent changes in bone specific alkaline phosphatase consistent with bone healing. DEXA revealed improvements in spine BMD and BMC. There were trends towards improvement in mean % predicted change in 6MWT from baseline to wk 48: cohort 1, 76.7% (SE 10.5) to 85.0% (SE 3.0); cohort 2, 52.2% (SE 10.9 ) to 79.0% (SE 2.9); cohort 3, wk 48 data not available. Improvements were also observed in physician and patient global impression of change score (with no patients deteriorating) and PROMIS pain intensity score. INZ-701 was well tolerated with no drug-related serious or severe (> grade 2) adverse events. Low titers of non-neutralizing anti-drug antibodies (≤160) were observed in 7/9 patients. Long half-life of approximately 126 hours suggests the potential for once-weekly dosing. Conclusions: In adults with ENPP1 Deficiency, INZ-701 was well tolerated with no related serious or severe adverse events. INZ-701 demonstrated a rapid and sustained increase in PPi levels from baseline to week 48 with corresponding improvements in bone mineral biomarkers, functional performance, and patient and physician-reported outcomes.

7787 Primary Aldosteronism Medical Treatment Outcomes (PAMO): An International Consensus on Outcome Assessment Criteria and Multicentre Study
Abstract Disclosure: J. Yang: None. J. Burrello: None. J. Goi: None. T.A. Williams: None. W.F. Young: Consulting Fee; Self; Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. Other; Self; Crinetics Pharmaceuticals. P.J. Fuller: None. P. Investigators: None. Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common endocrine cause of hypertension. Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, at adequate doses, lower blood pressure and cardiovascular risk in patients with PA. However, there is a lack of a standardized approach to medical therapy and subsequent outcomes assessment. We aimed to: 1) establish criteria for assessing outcomes of targeted medical treatment of PA, and 2) evaluate outcomes using these criteria across an international cohort. A panel of 31 PA experts from 31 centres across four continents used the Delphi method, including three rounds of online questionnaires, to reach consensus. Clinical data were then collected from consecutive patients with PA who started targeted medical treatment between 2016 and 2021 at the participating centres. Consensus was reached for six outcomes, including complete, partial, or absent biochemical response, and complete, partial, or absent clinical response. “Complete biochemical response” was defined as “correction of hypokalemia without potassium supplementation, and normalization of plasma renin activity or concentration”; while “absent biochemical response” was defined as “persistent hypokalemia and/or persistently suppressed or low plasma renin activity or concentration without change from baseline”. “Complete clinical response” was defined as “normal blood pressure without additional antihypertensive medications”; while “absent clinical response” was defined as “the same or increased blood pressure compared to before targeted treatment with same or more antihypertensive medications, not counting targeted therapy”. Of 1483 patients (mean age 52y, 48% female) from 28 centers, 232 (16%) had a complete clinical response, and 719 (49%) had a complete biochemical response at the most recent follow-up (median 29 months after treatment initiation). Compared to those with partial or absent clinical response, patients with complete clinical response had a significantly higher proportion of women and lower proportion with diabetes, stroke or left ventricular hypertrophy. They also had a significantly shorter duration of hypertension, lower BMI, higher eGFR and lower defined daily dose of antihypertensives at baseline. In contrast, these differences were not observed in those with a complete, partial or absent biochemical response. The defined daily dose of targeted therapy did not differ across the various response categories. In conclusion, we have established an international expert consensus for standardized criteria to evaluate the response to targeted medical treatment of PA, facilitate comparisons of outcome data and guide clinicians who manage PA. In a retrospective international cohort, less than half of medically-treated patients reached the established biochemical treatment targets. Further work is needed to increase the rate of complete response. Presentation: 6/3/2024
7424 Measurements of Key Regulators of Energy Intake in Young and Midlife Women with Overweight or Obesity

Grant Recipient; Self; Vivus USA, Novo Nordisk. C. Shufelt: None. M.D. Hurtado: None. Introduction: Midlife women (ages 40 to 65) experience age-related weight gain (0.4-0.7 kg/year) due to physiologic and psychosocial changes. Evidence supports that age-related decrease in lean mass and its subsequent effect on energy expenditure are key physiologic factors. To date, the are no data describing if changes in the main regulators of energy intake (i.e., hunger, satiation, and satiety) across women’s lifespan play a role in weight gain during midlife. The aim of this study is to characterize measurements of satiation, satiety, and appetite sensations through early adulthood and midlife in women with obesity. Methods: This is a cross sectional study of women aged 19-65 with overweight or obesity who have undergone measurements of (i) body composition by DXA scan; (ii) resting energy expenditure (REE) by indirect calorimetry; (iii) satiation by calories consumed to satiation (CTS) during an ad libitum meal test; (iv) satiety by time needed to empty 50% of the stomach content (GEt1/2) in a gastric emptying study and plasma satiety hormone levels (PYY, GLP-1, and CCK); and (v) appetite sensations by visual analog scales (VAS) for hunger and fullness. We present data as mean ± standard deviation. We performed simple correlations between these variables and age. We performed multiple regression analyses to adjust for body composition and REE. Results: Our cohort included 552 mostly white (93%) women, with a mean age of 41±11 years and a mean BMI of 37±7 kg/m2. Increased age significantly correlated with higher waist circumference (r=0.1, p=0.006), waist/hip ratio (r=0.1, p=0.01), and total fat mass % (r=0.1, p=0.04); and with lower lean mass % (r=-0.1, p=0.04) and REE (r=-0.3, p<0.0001). Increased age was associated with decreased hunger sensation (i.e., lower preprandial VAShunger after an overnight fast, r=-0.1, p=0.04; and lower postprandial VAShunger 4hr after a standardized 320-kcal breakfast, r=-0.1, p=0.001), stronger satiation (i.e., lower CTS, r=-0.1, p=0.001), and more prolonged satiety (i.e., higher GEt1/2, r=0.1, p=0.02; higher postprandial GLP-1 levels, r=0.1, p=0.03; and higher postprandial VASfullness after and ad libitum meal, p=0.1, p=0.008). After adjusting for lean mass % and REE, the correlations between age and hunger sensations and satiation measurement, but not satiety measurements, were maintained. Conclusion: Our results show that older women have lower lean mass % and REE. After adjusting for these variables, older women experience decreased hunger sensation and achieve satiation with a lower number of calories. As these changes in theory would protect against midlife weight gain, the differences in body composition and REE remain the most likely culprit. Further research is necessary to investigate if there are other key factors that may contribute to weight gain such as the hedonic or emotional components of food intake. Presentation: 6/2/2024
6998 Giant Pheochromocytoma: A Retrospective Single-Center Study

Bancos: None. Background: Giant pheochromocytomas (PHEO), defined based on size > 10 cm, are rare. Data on clinical presentation, management, and prognosis of giant PHEOs are scarce. Objectives: to determine prevalence of giant PHEO and compare presentation, management, and outcomes of patients with giant vs non-giant PHEOs. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients with giant PHEO and randomly chosen patients with non-giant PHEO (referents) at 6:1 ratio, evaluated between 2000-2023. All variables were extracted from the electronic medical record. Results: Of 828 patients with PHEO evaluated between 2000 and 2023, 31 (3.7%) had giant PHEO (median size 12 cm, IQR 10.0-13.5). In comparison to referents (n=186, median size 4 cm, IQR, 2.9-5.0), patients with giant PHEO were similar in age (median age 53 vs 55 years, P=.55), more frequently discovered based on symptoms (52% vs 32%, P=.04), and less likely to be bilateral (3% vs 12%, P=.31). Genetic testing was performed in 103 (48%) of patients, without group differences, however, patients with giant PHEO were less likely to have an associated germline mutation detected (7% vs 47%, P=.004). Patients with giant PHEO had more symptoms of catecholamine excess (median of 2 vs 1, P=.04) and presented with a higher prevalence of severe metanephrine excess >10 times above upper normal range (76% vs 30%, P<.0001). Adrenalectomy was performed in 94% of patients with giant PHEOs and in 100% referents, with higher rates of open adrenalectomy in giant PHEO (86% vs 14%, P<.0001). In addition to preoperative alpha-adrenergic blockade (89%), metyrosine was used in 14 (7%) patients, mostly in patients with giant PHEO (26% vs 3%, P<.0001). Patients with giant PHEO had a longer hospital length of stay (laparoscopic: median 5 vs 2 days, P<.0001; open: median 6 vs 5 days, P=.24), and a higher complication rate (31% vs 10%, P=.006).Median follow up was 3 years (IQR 1-8) years, similar in patients and referents. Metastases developed at a much higher rate in patients with giant PHEOs (45% vs 4% in referents, P<.0001). Disease specific mortality was 7% in patients with giant PHEOs and 0% in referents. Conclusion: Patients with giant PHEO were more symptomatic, had a higher degree of catecholamine excess, and a higher rate of perioperative complications. Almost half of patients with giant PHEO developed metastases, warranting a close follow-up. Presentation: 6/2/2024
6808 Effect of Corticosteroid Premedication on Adrenal Vein Sampling in Patients with Primary Aldosteronism and Iodine Contrast Allergy
Abstract Disclosure: S. Mohan: None. O.A. Shariq: None. J.C. Andrews: None. W.F. Young: None. Background: Adrenal vein sampling (AVS) is performed in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) to subtype surgically curable unilateral disease. During AVS, iodinated contrast is used to confirm catheterization of adrenal veins for accurate sampling. However, in patients with severe contrast allergy, the optimal method of safely and effectively confirming localization is debatable. Premedication with oral corticosteroids has raised concern for suppression of cortisol and confounding of AVS results. We therefore investigated our experience of AVS after corticosteroid premedication in patients with PA and iodine contrast allergy. Methods: Patients with PA who underwent AVS at our center under continuous cosyntropin infusion (50 mcg/hr started 30 minutes before sampling) between September 1990 - October 2023 were identified. Individuals with documented allergy to iodinated contrast who received corticosteroid premedication were matched 1:1 for age and sex with control patients without contrast allergy or premedication. Baseline demographics, biochemical variables, AVS results, and follow-up data were compared between groups. Results: 1273 AVS studies were performed in 1255 patients with PA and 35 (2.8%) patients received corticosteroid premedication for contrast allergy. Methylprednisolone was used in 32 (91.4%) patients while dexamethasone was used in the rest. No patients experienced a severe breakthrough allergic reaction. Mean age was similar in cases vs. controls (53.9 vs. 54.1 years, P=0.92) with 16 females (45.7%) per group. There were no significant differences in baseline aldosterone-to-renin ratios (57.7 vs. 49.3, P=0.57) or daily defined doses of antihypertensives (5.5 vs. 4.4, P=0.21) between the two groups. Absolute cortisol levels (mcg/dL) from both adrenal veins (AV) and the inferior vena cava (IVC) were similar between cases and controls (right AV: 752.5 vs. 813.7, P=0.48; left AV: 527.2 vs. 462.7, P=0.33; IVC: 23.1 vs. 24.5, P=0.18). The ratio of cortisol in the corresponding AV to the IVC (selectivity index) was >5 in all patients, confirming appropriate cannulation, with similar mean selectivity indices between groups (right AV: 33.0 vs. 33.7, P=0.86; left AV: 22.8 vs. 19.0 P=0.17). Unilateral disease (indicated by a lateralization index >4) was present in 20 (57.1%) patients who received premedication compared with 16 (45.7%) controls (P=0.34). Surgery for unilateral disease was performed in 16 cases and 12 controls, with similar post-op day 1 aldosterone levels in both groups (3.8 vs. 3.3, P=0.36), consistent with surgical cure. Conclusion: In patients with PA and iodine contrast allergy, premedication with corticosteroids prior to cosyntropin-stimulated AVS does not significantly suppress cortisol levels or affect interpretation of AVS results, with comparable rates of disease subtyping and surgical outcomes when compared to a control group.

5109 Evaluation of an educational intervention to primary care providers to increase screening for primary aldosteronism
Abstract Disclosure: M.D. Figueiredo: None. J. Wagoner: None. W.F. Young: None. L.M. Fishbein: None. M.T. McDermott: None. Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) accounts for at least 5% of hypertension cases and up to 20% of resistant hypertension. Underdiagnosis leads to delayed treatment and increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Our objective was to assess the impact of an educational series for primary care providers (PCPs) on increasing screening rates for PA. Methods: Educational intervention consisted of a 5-day, 2-minute email series for 111 PCPs on PA screening, confirmation, and treatment (trained group). Following the training, EMR data were extracted for patients with PAC (plasma aldosterone concentration) or PRA (plasma renin activity), new hypertension diagnosis code, or a new MRA prescription within 1 year pre- or post-intervention and data pre- and post- intervention were compared. A proper screen included sending both PAC and PRA simultaneously. IRB approval was obtained. Results: In the pre-intervention year, 57 patients were properly screened for PA by the 111 PCPs. Post-intervention, 151 patients were screened for PA showing a 2.65-fold increase in screening with the educational intervention. Using a paired T-test across quartiles pre- and post-intervention, this increase was statistically significant (P=0.0148). We further demonstrated a sustained effect throughout the 12 months post-intervention per quartile (Q+1 n=29, Q+2 n=45, Q+3 n=33, Q+4 n=42). Of the total cohort screened (both pre- and post-intervention), 28% had a positive screen for PA (defined liberally as PAC >5 ng/dL with PRA <1 ng/mL/h). Discussion: The educational intervention drove an increase in PCP screening for PA in the year post-intervention and this increase was sustained across all quartiles of the year. Of the screened cohort (pre- and post-intervention), 28% screened positive for PA, and those patients were more frequently referred to specialists post-intervention. Our study has some limitations, including the relatively small sample size of PCPs educated and patients screened, and the 2020 start to the COVID-19 pandemic impact during the post-intervention period. Conclusion: Our findings advocate for continued education to reinforce PA screening criteria using an easy, not time consuming and effective educational tool. Continuous education is crucial to reinforce next steps in confirmation and treatment. Presentation: 6/3/2024
9274 Combined Ovarian and Adrenal Vein Sampling in Women Presenting with Severe Hyperandrogenism
Abstract Disclosure: A.Y. Chang: None. D.Z. Erickson: None. W.F. Young: None. K. Grennan: None. J.C. Andrews: None. E. Kapoor: None. Background: While mild androgen excess is frequently encountered in endocrine practices, severe symptoms, rapid onset or markedly abnormal biochemical testing lead to further evaluation for rare ovarian androgen-producing tumors, ovarian hyperthecosis or androgen-secreting adrenal tumors. Combined ovarian and adrenal vein sampling (COAVS) might be necessary to identify the source of androgen hypersecretion and guide treatment. The utility of COAVS has been studied in limited case series, combining case reports and different centers. There is no consensus regarding the testosterone gradient that localizes the androgen source or the added value of COAVS when a pathologic source of androgen excess is suspected. The additional clinical benefit of adrenal vein sampling (AVS) when combined with ovarian vein sampling (OVS) has also not been examined. Objectives: We sought to determine: a) the optimal total testosterone (TT) gradient for identifying unilateral vs bilateral source of hyperandrogenism and b) the utility of AVS in addition to OVS. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of all adult women who had COAVS at Mayo Clinic, Rochester from 1996 to 2023. Pathologic sources of androgen excess were defined as ovarian hyperthecosis (OH) as well as ovarian and adrenal tumors. We calculated the ratio of dominant OV or AV divided by the nondominant OV or AV. Results: 22 COAVS procedures from 7 premenopausal and 15 postmenopausal women were included in the study: 12 (55%) women had adrenal abnormalities seen on computed cross sectional imaging and 5 (23%) had unilateral ovarian imaging abnormalities. Of the 22 participants in the case series, successful 4-vessel catheterization was completed in 20 (1 right ovarian vein could not be cannulated, and 1 had bilateral oophorectomy). Nine (41%) women had unilateral and 10 (45%) bilateral ovarian androgen hypersecretion. Eleven (50%) women had pathologic causes for elevated TT (5 ovarian tumors, 6 cases of OH), 5 lacked follow-up pathology and 5 had benign pathology. AVS did not diagnose an adrenal source of androgen hypersecretion. TT concentrations were significantly greater in patients with unilateral compared to those with bilateral ovarian androgen hypersecretion (median 262.5 ng/dL [245- 401.5 IQR] vs 104 ng/dL [82-190], P = 0.01). In addition, TT concentrations were higher in those women with a pathologic source of TT hypersecretion compared to those with benign ovaries (349 ng/dL [251-538] vs 115 ng/dL [93-195], P = 0.03). All cases of unilateral ovarian disease had a dominant OV gradient of TT ≥ 2.1 compared to the nondominant OV. Conclusion: In a series of successful COAVS in women with androgen hypersecretion, an ovarian side-to-side gradient of ≥ 2.1 diagnosed all sources of unilateral ovarian pathology. AVS did not diagnose any pathologic source of adrenal androgen excess in this patient cohort. Presentation: 6/3/2024

AVS did not diagnose any pathologic source of adrenal androgen excess in this patient cohort. Presentation: 6/3/2024
Healthcare utilization and follow-up care in young adult breast cancer (BC) survivors.
363 Background: The incidence of BC in young adults is increasing; given their extended survivorship, characterizing healthcare utilization and adherence to surveillance guidelines can inform unmet health needs and gaps in care. Methods: The multi-center Young Women’s BC Cohort Study enrolled 1302 women ≤40 yrs with newly diagnosed (dx) BC from 2006-2016. Participants completed surveys every 6 mos for 3 yrs post-dx, then annually. The current analysis includes patients with Stage 0-III BC without recurrence who completed the 7-yr survey assessing survivorship care, including types of providers visited, BC surveillance, and other health maintenance practices. Multivariate logistic regression evaluated factors (clinical, demographics, concern about recurrence) associated with 1) full transition to a primary care provider (PCP) for follow-up; adherence to 2) mammography (among women who had a unilateral mastectomy or lumpectomy) and 3) bone density scans (among current hormonal therapy [HT] users), per ASCO/ACS guidelines. Results: Of 660 women with Stage 0-III BC, median age at dx was 37 (range: 17-40); 89% identified as White, 5%, Asian, 3%, Black, 3% as other/multiracial, and 4%, Hispanic. Most had received chemotherapy (75%) and radiation (61%) and 35% reported current HT; 12% had a BRCA1/2 mutation. For cancer-related follow-up, 57% reported seeing an oncology provider only, 12%, PCP only, and 29% saw a PCP + oncology provider. Among women with remaining breast(s) (n=348), 90% reported a mammogram in the last year. Adherence to other health maintenance practices varied: 68% reported having had a flu shot, 76% a pap test/pelvic exam, and 56% cholesterol screening within the last 2 yrs. Among current HT users (n=210), 46% reported a bone density scan within the last 2 yrs. In multivariate analyses assessing the odds of seeing a PCP only (vs. oncology + PCP), having stage 0 vs I disease (OR 2.74 95% CI 1.01-6.80) was associated with higher odds while any HT use (OR .31 95% CI .16-.58) and concern about recurrence (OR .23 95% CI .12-.47) were associated with lower odds. The table includes factors significantly associated with non-adherence to mammography and bone density scans. Conclusions: At 7-years post-dx, most young survivors participating in a cohort study receive cancer follow-up care from an oncology provider and have not fully transitioned their care to a PCP. Adherence to recommendations related to bone health among HT users was suboptimal.
