Filter by:This non-interventional retrospective study aims to describe the therapeutic procedures and modalities received by patients and the correlation to hormone status, during a one year follow up from completion of the 2-79-52030-207 study.
MYCAPSSA™ (formerly Octreolin™) is a proprietary oral form of the approved injectable medical product octreotide used to treat acromegaly. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MYCAPSSA™ treatment in patients with acromegaly.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate over the 24 month prospective follow up - in everyday clinical practice - resource utilization and effectiveness of the treatment of acromegalic patients in Poland with Somatuline Autogel 120 mg including extended injection intervals.
The purpose of this research study is to study the effects of growth hormone (GH) replacement on the heart. The investigators will study these effects in people who have been cured of acromegaly and then have developed growth hormone deficiency (GHD, not enough growth hormone).
This study will assess the efficacy of 8 months treatment of Sandostatin® LAR® High Dose monotherapy or Sandostatin® LAR® High Dose in combination either with growth hormone antagonist or dopamine agonist to control biochemical parameters (GH and insulin-like growth factor I [IGF I]) of acromegalic patients not achieving biochemical normalization at conventional regimen.
Acromegaly is a disease of the pituitary gland that involves the overproduction of growth hormone. The drug works by blocking the binding of growth hormone to growth hormone receptors found in tissues throughout the body. Human studies have evaluated the reduction of IGF-I levels in the blood following pegvisomant treatment, however, no studies have evaluated IGF-I levels in tissues following pegvisomant administration. In this study, we will test a novel tissue biomarker for pegvisomant action, distinct from measuring IGF-I levels in the blood. To this end, we will determine if administration of pegvisomant modifies the expression of IGF-I, IGF-I receptor, growth hormone receptor and GH- and IGF-i-dependent signaling molecules in the colon tissue of patients with acromegaly.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of pasireotide LAR 40 and 60 mg versus octreotide LAR or lanreotide ATG in patients with inadequately controlled acromegaly.
The aim of this study is to investigate peripheral effects of Somatostatin on glucose metabolism and growth hormone (GH) signalling in healthy men. Eight subjects will be enrolled. The hypothesis is that Somatostatin infusion reverses insulin resistance caused by GH.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the interest of a six month pre-operative treatment with a long-acting somatostatin analog (Sandostatin LP) versus surgery alone in patients with a pituitary adenoma responsible for acromegaly.
In acromegaly, nearly 40% of patients fail to control GH/IGF-I levels with somatostatin analogues (SA). Dopaminergic agonists (DA) are even less effective, but combination therapy with SA and DA normalizes IGF-I levels in 33-56% of patients in short-term studies. This study was designed to evaluate short and long term efficacy of cabergoline in controlling IGF-I levels in acromegalic patients receiving octreotide.
