Filter by:Since protein and AAs are master regulator of GH and IGF-I secretion, we hypothesized that a low protein diet could reduce GH and IGF-I levels in acromegalic patients in addition to conventional therapy. Furthermore, we aim to explore metabolomic, microbiota, and micro-vesicle fingerprints of GH hypersecretion during conventional therapy and after a low protein diet
A randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of paltusotine (formerly CRN00808; an oral selective nonpeptide somatostatin receptor type 2 biased agonist) in subjects with non-pharmacologically treated acromegaly.
The purpose of the protocol is to achieve an in-depth understanding of the current satisfaction status of somatostatin analogue (SSA) treatment for acromegaly through patient and physician surveys.
At present there are no recommendations regarding the possibility of discontinuing treatment in cases of recurrent acromegaly with good hormonal control. Discontinuation of treatment is therefore most often decided by the practitioner, on the basis of his experience and knowledge of the patient, the long-term course with somatostatin analogues being very little described. Thus, although hormonal control is achieved in a majority of cases under medical treatment, we do not know if it is possible to stop treatment and in this case how the pathology evolves. It would appear that approximately 40% of patients defined as very good responders to somatostatin analogues may gradually space their injections.
Non-interventional observational study, to identify safety and effectiveness of Somavert during the post-marketing period based on the Korean RMP as required by the regulations of Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS)
This is a prospective observational pilot study for the evaluation of immune cells phenotype in acromegalic patients in comparison with a control population and to investigate the impact of disease control and different medical treatments (particularly Pegvisomant) on immune function and its implication on insulin resistance, metabolic complications and fat accumulation.
The diagnosis and the follow-up of acromegalic patients are based on the mesurement of Growth hormone (GH) and IGF1 rates. However, the literature described some cases of patient for whom the investigators observed a discrepancy between GH and IGF1 rates. Since the acromegaly is a rare disease and this phenomenon concerns about 30% of these patients, there is a lack of investigations about consequences that this discordance may induces. In this study, the investigators aimed at assessing if patients with discordance between GH and IGF1 rates present a different risk of recurrence and complications related to acromegaly, from patients with concordant results.
This prospective controlled interventional study aims to reveal the diversity of vitamin D metabolism in patients with certain endocrine disorders (Cushing's disease, acromegaly, primary hyperparathyroidism, diabetes mellitus type 1) compared to healthy adults. All patients will receive a single dose (150,000 IU) of cholecalciferol aqueous solution orally. Laboratory assessments including serum vitamin D metabolites (25(OH)D3, 25(OH)D2, 1,25(OH)2D3, 3-epi-25(OH)D3, 24,25(OH)2D3 and D3), free 25(OH)D, vitamin D-binding protein (DBP) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) as well as serum and urine biochemical parameters will be performed before the intake and on Days 1, 3 and 7 after the administration.
A randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of paltusotine (also known as CRN00808; an orally administered nonpeptide somatostatin agonist) in subjects with acromegaly previously treated with somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL) based treatment regimens.
Headache is a very common main complaint of patients with GH pituitary tumor, which has seriously affected the normal work and life of patients. Although the current surgery and drugs have a certain effect on patients with headache, the overall effect is not satisfied. However, the use of COX-2 inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other analgesics are only effective for some patients with headaches, and long-term use has adverse reactions. Therefore, it is necessary to seek new treatments for postoperative headaches in patients with GH pituitary tumors. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) modulates the excitability of the underlying cerebral cortex by applying a rapidly changing magnetic field on the surface of the scalp. It is a relatively simple and safe method. It is currently approved for treating depression, migraine, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and Alzheimer's disease. Several small clinical studies have proven that rTMS can be used to prevent and treat Headache. Therefore, this study aims to observe the efficacy and safety of TMS in the treatment of postoperative headache in patients with GH pituitary tumors.
