Background: Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder characterised by excess growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) that is associated with significant morbidity and impaired quality of life (QoL). Standard-of-care (SoC) treatments for acromegaly typically require healthcare provider administration, pose a substantial treatment burden, and leave scope for improved disease control. CAM2029, an octreotide subcutaneous depot with ~5x higher bioavailability th...

Background: Acromegaly, a rare, chronic disorder, results from excessive growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The need for convenient therapies that provide effective disease control led to the development of CAM2029, a novel, subcutaneous, octreotide depot designed for convenient monthly self-administration using pre-filled syringes/injection pens. In a 24-week Phase 3 trial (ACROINNOVA 1, NCT04076462) CAM2029 achieved superior IGF-1 control vs placeb...

Background: Acromegaly is a neuroendocrine disorder, characterised by growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) overproduction. Persistent biochemical control to minimise adverse effects of prolonged excess GH/IGF-1 is a key treatment goal. CAM2029 is a novel octreotide depot, designed for convenient monthly subcutaneous self-administration, using pre-filled syringes/injection pens. A 24-week Phase 3 trial (ACROINNOVA 1, NCT04076462) evaluated CAM2029 in pat...

BackgroundMPOWERED, a large phase 3 trial, assessed maintenance of response to oral octreotide capsules (OOC; MYCAPSSA) compared to injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (iSRLs) in patients with acromegaly who responded to OOC and iSRLs (octreotide or lanreotide). OOC were recently approved in the US for patients with acromegaly who responded to and tolerated iSRLs.MethodsEligibility criteria included age ...

BackgroundInjectable somatostatin receptor ligands (iSRLs) have been a mainstay in acromegaly treatment. Oral octreotide capsules (OOC; MYCAPSSA®) were recently approved in the USA. Results from the placebo-controlled CHIASMA OPTIMAL and open-label CH-ACM-01 studies showed an OOC safety profile consistent with that of iSRLs with no new or unexpected safety signals. Results of the MPOWERED trial have enabled a comparison of OOC safety and ...

BackgroundPatients with acromegaly may have high symptom burden. The phase 3 MPOWERED trial assessed control of acromegaly by oral octreotide capsules (OOC; MYCAPSSA®) in comparison to injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (iSRLs) in patients responding to both OOC and iSRLs. iSRLs have been first-line medical treatment for patients with acromegaly for decades. OOC are newly approved in the US for patients previously controlled on iSRL...

BackgroundOral octreotide capsules (OOC; MYCAPSSA®) are approved in the US for individuals with acromegaly who responded to and tolerated treatment with injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (iSRLs). Add-on cabergoline therapy has shown effectiveness in patients previously inadequately controlled with iSRLS.1 The phase 3 MPOWERED trial assessed maintenance of response with OOC compared to iSRLs. Patients receiving OOC and in...

BackgroundImproved patient-reported outcomes (PROs) are increasingly becoming a key treatment objective in acromegaly. Validated PROs were used to assess disease and treatment burden in the MPOWERED phase 3 trial in acromegaly, which also assessed safety and efficacy of oral octreotide capsules (OOC; MYCAPSSA®) compared to injectable SRLs (iSRLs).MethodsEligible patients had acromegaly diagnosis, biochem...
