Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Male or female aged between 18 and 75 years inclusive. 2. The patient must have had documentation supporting the diagnosis of acromegaly, including elevated GH and/or IGF-1 levels. 3. The patient is treated with pegvisomant, because of IGF-1 level remaining above ULN when treated with somatostatin analogue, on a daily basis for at least 3 months and has normal (age and sex adjusted) IGF-1 level, or IGF-1 level above ULN after treatment with pegvisomant 30 mg per day, OR the patient is treated with lanreotide Autogel or octreotide LAR for at least 6 months including the last 3 months at the highest marketed dose, and has a serum IGF-1 level above ULN, 28 days after the last injection. AT THE END OF THE RUN-IN PERIOD 4. The patient has a serum IGF-1 level above 1.2 x ULN, or a serum IGF-1 level between ULN and 1.2 x ULN and a serum GH nadir > 1 µg/L (assessed by an OGTT), 28 days after the 3rd injection of lanreotide Autogel 120 mg. 5. The patient is diabetic and has a serum IGF-1 level above 1.2 x ULN, 28 days after the 3rd injection of lanreotide Autogel 120 mg.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. The patient has undergone pituitary surgery or radiotherapy within 6 months prior to study entry. 2. It is anticipated that the patient will receive pituitary surgery or radiotherapy during the study. 3. The patient has a history of hypersensitivity to lanreotide or pegvisomant or drugs with a similar chemical structure. 4.The patient has already been treated with a somatostatin analogue associated with a GH antagonist. 5. The patient has received a dopamine agonist within 6 weeks prior to study entry. 6.The patient has abnormal hepatic function at study entry (defined as AST, ALT, GGT, AP, PT or total bilirubin above 2 x ULN).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint will be the percentage of acromegalic patients with normalised (age and sex adjusted) IGF-1 level at the end of the co-treatment period. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary efficacy endpoints will be: -Serum IGF-1 levels, at each assessment. - Number and percentage of patients with normalised (age and sex adjusted) IGF-1 levels, at each assessment. - Acromegaly symptoms. All these endpoints will be assessed before stopping previous treatment (visit V1), before the run-in period (visit V2), at visit V3, and during the co-treatment period 4 weeks after the dose adaptation of pegvisomant (visits V5, V7, V9) and V11. - Quality of life assessed at visits V2, V3 and V11. | — |
