Brief Summary: The morbidity and the mortality in acromegalic patients closely correspond to growth hormone GH levels and therefore efficient long-term treatment is important

Neurosurgery is the first choice of treatment in acromegalic patients Surgery normalizes GH levels in about 80 of patients with microadenomas but less than 50 of patients with macroadenomas respond sufficiently to surgery alone In most patients additional medical therapy is therefore needed

Somatostatin analogues have successfully been used in treatment of acromegaly if surgery or radiotherapy can not lead to normal GH and IGF-I levels Lanreotide Autogel LAN is a new formulation of lanreotide consisting of a prolonged release aqueous formulation which can be injected intramuscularly or deep subcutaneously once every 28 days

Aim

The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy of OCT and LAN in obtaining GH and IGF-I levels according to the 2000 Consensus Furthermore we wanted to evaluate which treatment modality resulted in the lowest possible IGF-I and GH levels and the highest patient satisfaction

Inclusion criteria

all the patients which receive octreotide LAR can be included
new diagnosed patients with clinical and biochemical acromegaly if medicine therapy is indicated
as long as they do not fit in the exclusion criteria Exclusion criteria
which had not given their consent after they received standard information about the study
current malign disease
somatostatin analogues intolerance
elevation of lever enzymes
pregnancy

Design The study is designed as a randomized cross-over trial Patients will be randomized to receive either OCT or LAN for 6 months and will be then changed to the opposite therapy for 6 months without interruption between the two therapies Both OCT and LAN will be administered once every 28 days OCT will be given intramuscularly and LAN deep subcutaneously by the patients general practitioner or by a study nurse At times 0 4 6 10 and 12 months the patients will be attended for clinical evaluation at the department of Endocrinology Odense University Hospital

Patients previously treated with OCT will receive unchanged doses of OCT during the study period and OCT dose will use to calculate LAN doses The administered OCT dose will be determined as the dose necessary to obtain normal IGF-I levels andor GH1mUl 04 μg l or alternatively the highest tolerated dose

The LAN doses will be calculated using the OCT doses as follows 10 mg OCT 60 mg LAN 20 mg OCT 90 mg LAN 30 mg OCT 120 mg LAN

Evaluation program at 0 4 6 10 12 months Clinical evaluation weight blood pressure inspection of the injection site and evaluation of possible side effects

Analyses GH and IGF-I prolactin thyroid hormone oestrogen testosterone LH and FSH fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin liver enzymes levels

The study will be supported by Beaufor Ipsen Industry and further technical assistance will be supplied by Endocrinology Department Odense University Hospital
