What this page does

Maps options by country

It maps sourced options by country alongside diagnosis wording, stage, test results, specialists, and trial-search terms.

What it does not do

Does not choose treatment

It does not rank treatments, recommend a choice, or decide clinical fit.

Where it comes from

Built on trusted sources

Every option links to a trusted regulator, HTA, or guideline source, and the list grows as new sources pass verification.

Information to gather before the next visit

  • Is complete surgical resection feasible at an ACC-experienced center?
  • Is mitotane being discussed as adjuvant, unresectable, metastatic, or symptom-control therapy?
  • Are hormone-producing symptoms being managed alongside cancer-directed treatment?
  • Is the ACC inoperable, functional, or nonfunctional under the U.S. label indication?

Options by country

Treatments by country

Regulatory and access status by country, from official sources. It shows what exists and where — not a recommendation.

United States

  • Mitotane (Lysodren)[1]FDA-approvedFunctional versus nonfunctional hormonal status is clinically relevant; no genomic biomarker required by fetched U.S. label; Inoperable functional or nonfunctional ACC. · Label indication does not establish payer coverage, treatment suitability, or dosing for a specific patient. Label includes major safety updates and monitoring/handling precautions. Confidence/conflicts: High for U.S. labeled indication.

Label includes major safety updates and monitoring/handling precautions. Confidence/conflicts: High for U.S. labeled indication.

European Union

  • Mitotane (Lysodren)[2]EMA authorisedFunctional hormone-producing status affects symptom benefit; no genomic biomarker required by fetched EMA source; Advanced unresectable, metastatic, or relapsed ACC; symptom treatment context per EMA wording. · EMA central authorisation does not establish member-state reimbursement, local specialist access, or individual eligibility. EMA notes limited evidence for some uses and the need for blood-level monitoring. Confidence/conflicts: High for EU authorised indication; national reimbursement remains unverified.

United Kingdom

  • Mitotane (Lysodren), alone or with other chemotherapy drugs[3]ApprovedNo biomarker required by fetched UK source; Unresectable, relapsed, or metastatic ACC. · Cancer Research UK is a patient/professional cancer information charity, not MHRA/NICE. Exact UK licensing, commissioning, and local formulary status require separate regulator/NHS source verification. Confidence/conflicts: Medium-high for UK treatment-information context; exact MHRA/NICE status remains an active gap.

This is official regulatory and access status only — not medical advice, not a recommendation, and not a statement about eligibility. Whether any option fits depends on your situation and your oncology team. Status changes over time; confirm the current position with the linked source. Last checked 2026-06-12.

Beyond approved care

In clinical trials & emerging options

Options that are not — or not yet — an approved standard where you live: studies, clinical trials, off-label use, and early evidence that your own oncologist may not raise. Each is labeled by how strong the evidence is. A listing here is information to research and discuss with your team; it does not mean a treatment is proven, safe for you, or available today.

In clinical trials

A clinical-trial listing or early report shows an option is being studied — not that it works, that it is safe for any one person, or that a site is enrolling today. Whether any of these fits is a conversation for your oncology team and the trial team. Last checked 2026-06-12.
