Purpose
In clinical research involving acromegalic patients naïve to somatostatin-receptor ligands (SRLs), 19 and 31% of those receiving the SRLs octreotide LAR and pasireotide LAR, respectively, achieved GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1 concentrations. The proportions achieving control appeared higher in the post-surgery compared with the de-novo setting with pasireotide, but more similar with octreotide. Using pooled data from multicenter clinical trials, we examined the biochemical efficacy of lanreotide depot/Autogel in similar settings.
Methods
Inclusion criteria: Ipsen-sponsored, 48–52-week trials in SRL-naïve acromegalic populations receiving lanreotide depot (60–120 mg); patients were included if de novo (no prior acromegaly treatment) or post-surgery (no medical treatment; radiotherapy allowed unless within previous 3 years). Efficacy endpoints included normalized IGF-1 levels and GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1 at study end/last value available. Analyses: all patients (analysis #1) and subset with baseline GH > 5 ng/mL (analysis #2).
Results
Three studies were included. Analysis #1: normalized IGF-1 was achieved by 42% (71/171) of patients overall (post-surgery, 46% [21/46]; de-novo, 40% [50/125]); GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1 was achieved by 35% (59/171) (39% [18/46] and 33% [41/125], respectively). Analysis #2: normalized IGF-1 levels, 39% (46/118) (post-surgery, 40% [10/25]; de-novo, 39% [36/93]); GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1, 31% (36/118) (28% [7/25] and 31% [29/93], respectively).
Conclusion
In these pooled analyses of SRL-naïve patients receiving lanreotide depot, 39–42% achieved IGF-1 control and 31–35% achieved GH and IGF-1 control. Control rates within post-surgery cohorts did not differ markedly from those in corresponding de-novo cohorts.
