Acromegaly Clinical Trials

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of ascending doses of COR-003 in subjects with elevated levels of cortisol due to endogenous Cushing's Syndrome by assessment of reduction in Urinary Free Cortisol (UFC) concentrations and to identify the range of safe and effective doses of COR-003 ...

The first phase of this study will be to contact all subjects in the cohort by a mailing introducing them to the study. This will be followed by a phone call and administration of a questionnaire by phone or by mail. The questionnaire will collect current information on acromegaly treatment, ...

Growth hormone (GH) and Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) are important regulators of bone modeling and remodeling, fundamental to maintenance of normal skeletal integrity. In acromegaly, a disease characterized by longstanding exposure to excess GH and IGF-1, these hormones induce marked skeletal changes. Most dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) studies report ...

The study will begin when the combination of Sandostatin LAR or Somatuline and pegvisomant is first administered. Study visits will occur every 4 weeks from the start of the study. However, for subjects who cannot make every study visit due to distance, the study team will facilitate monthly blood draws ...

Acromegaly is a rare disorder characterized by excessive production of growth hormone most often by a pituitary adenoma. A pituitary adenoma is a tumor, almost always benign or non-cancerous, that grows on the pituitary, a small gland located at the base of the brain. Treatment of acromegaly usually involves surgery, ...

This will be a phase 3, randomized, open-label, active controlled, multicenter study to evaluate maintenance of response, safety and patient reported outcomes (PROs) in acromegaly patients treated with octreotide capsules and in patients treated with SOC parenteral SRLs, who previously tolerated and demonstrated biochemical control on both treatments. The core ...

Subjects for this study will be recruited if they are: Adults, male or female aged 18 years or older Have been diagnosed with pituitary diseases

Microdialysis fluid will be collected from all participants using the ULTRADIAN dynamic diagnostics system. This is a 3-component collection system which can easily be attached to a belt and allows participants to continue with their normal everyday activities whilst undergoing sampling. The micro-fractions are minute, the volume would normally be ...

All the patients of either gender, diagnosed as a case of acromegaly scheduled for pituitary surgery will be enrolled. This observational study will be conducted over a period of 3 years. A written informed consent will be taken from all the patients. The clinical diagnosis will be made on the ...

Background: Acromegaly is a slowly progressive disease caused by growth hormone (GH) excess. The estimated prevalence of the disease is 40 cases/1000000 population with 3-4 new cases/1000000 population per year. Most patients have classic manifestations due to acral and soft tissue change, including thickening of the calvarium, increased size of ...
