Paltusotine is a once-daily, oral, nonpeptide somatostatin receptor type 2 (SST2) specific agonist, in development for the treatment of acromegaly and neuroendocrine tumors. We report interim results from ACROBAT Advance (NCT04261712), an ongoing, multicenter, open-label, long-term extension study of paltusotine in subjects with acromegaly who previously completed either Phase 2 study ACROBAT Edge (NCT03789656) or Evolve (NCT03792555). ACROBAT Edge enrolled 47 subjects with elevated (n=35) or normal (n=12) IGF-1 taking LA-SRLs either as mono- or combination therapy at baseline. ACROBAT Evolve enrolled 13 subjects with a normal IGF-1 using octreotide LAR or lanreotide depot monotherapy. Both ACROBAT Edge and Evolve involved up to 13-weeks of paltusotine treatment followed by a 1-month drug washout period. In ACROBAT Advance, paltusotine was re-initiated at a dose of 10 mg/day with titration up to 40 mg/day based on IGF-1 and tolerability. For subjects not achieving a normal IGF-1 with 40 mg/day of paltusotine monotherapy, adjunctive treatment was allowed. Of 49 eligible subjects, 41 (84%) [median age 52 (IQR 46-62) years, 56.1% female] were enrolled at the time of the interim analysis, 23 had reached 51 weeks of treatment, and 4 had discontinued from the study. Paltusotine dose was titrated to 40 mg/day in most subjects (73%) by week 51. The frequency of adjunctive cabergoline use during the trial was the same as that prior to the trial (24%). Median IGF-1 was maintained for up to 51 weeks at levels achieved with previous parenteral LA-SRL therapy (Table 1). The most common treatment-emergent adverse events were headache [12 (29.3%)], arthralgia [9 (22%)], and fatigue [6 (14.6%)]. Most adverse events were transient and of mild-to-moderate intensity. There were 3 non-treatment-related SAEs in 2 subjects. There were 4 discontinuations (1 for headache and 3 for study drug unrelated reasons). Median HbA1c levels remained stable [baseline 6.0% (5.7-6.2), 5.9% (5.7-6.1) at week 23, and 5.8% (5.6-6.4) at week 51]. Oral once-daily paltusotine treatment was well tolerated and resulted in maintenance of IGF-1 at levels comparable to prior LA-SRL therapy for up to 51 weeks. This was seen in all subsets of acromegaly patients representing a variety of previous treatment regimens and a range of baseline disease control.
