About this trial

This is an observational, retrospective, national multicenter study aimed to evaluate the impact and efficacy of Time To Switch (TTS) from first-line to second-line medical therapy in Acromegaly.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult men and women (age ≥ 18 years) affected by acromegaly, including those of childbearing age

Patients inadequately controlled with first generation somatostatin analogues (GH ≥1 μg/L and IGF-1 >1.3×ULN)

Second line medical treatment (Pasireotide; Pegvisomant only; combination Pegvisomant + 1st generation SSA) after use of first-line medical treatment

At least 12 months of follow up during 2nd line therapy

Disqualifiers

age ≤18 years

Pregnant and/or breastfeeding women

Patients unable to understand and sign the Informed Consent

Trial population

Patients with acromegaly treated with second-line medical therapy.

Primary outcomes

1

Evaluate the impact of TTS on disease control in acromegalic patients defined by IGF-1 levels <1.3xULN

Retrospective data on biochemical and clinical outcomes of patients affected by acromegaly treated with second-line medical therapy will be collected and analyzed. The patients will be stratified based on the therapeutic switch time (Time To Switch, TTS) \< 6 months, between 6 and 12 months and \> 12 months, from 1st generation SSA to the different second-line medical approaches (Pasireotide; Pegvisomant alone; Pegvisomant + first generation SSA combination). The impact of TTS on the biochemical and clinical control of illness will be analyzed.
