- W1566765736 abstract "Purpose: Acromegaly is a rarely diagnosed condition with potentially serious complications including accelerated heart disease and reduced survival. After a mean interval of nearly 9 years from onset of disease, a significant proportion of patients are diagnosed with invasive adenomas precluding complete surgical resection. Furthermore, strict normalization of the growth hormone (GH) target insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) cannot always be achieved by adjunctive medical therapy with somatostatin analogues. Here we report the results of a Canadian multi-centre study open-label, dose-titrated long-term study examining safety and efficacy outcomes of a growth hormone receptor antagonist, pegvisomant in 19 patients with refractory acromegaly. Methods: Previously pegvisomant-treated and treatment-naïve refractory acromegalic patients at least 18 yr of age were eligible (n=19). Patients received open-label daily subcutaneous injections of pegvisomant adjusted according to IGF-I levels. Safety and IGF-I levels were assessed every 4 to 6 wk. Baseline and follow-up visits at 3-month intervals also included administration of the Signs and Symptoms of Acromegaly Questionnaire. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00151437. Results: We show that, in escalating doses, pegvisomant results in age-adjusted normalization of IGF-I in nearly all such patients. This IGF-I normalization occurred early on and was maintained throughout the study period of 27 months (IGF-I standard deviation score (SDS), mean ± SE: 1.66 ± 0.36, P=0.0003 vs baseline), with a nadir at 18 months (IGF-I SDS, mean ± SE: 1.50 ± 0.38, P=0.0010 vs baseline). IGF-I control was also accompanied by measurable improvements in disease-associated symptoms and without radiographic evidence of pituitary tumour progression. Overall, the safety profile of pegvisomant therapy in this patient population was found to be satisfactory and suitable for a long-term treatment. Conclusion: Our findings provide support for the long-term safety and efficacy of the GH receptor antagonist pegvisomant in achieving IGF-I control in patients with refractory acromegaly." @default.
