Background: The PAOLA study assessed the efficacy/safety of pasireotide LAR vs continued treatment with octreotide LAR/lanreotide Autogel in patients with inadequately controlled acromegaly. An exploratory objective was to measure changes in various associated biomarkers, including IGF1 and IGFBP2 (released from white fat cells and known to prevent insulin resistance), glucose and HbA1c.Methods: Adult patients (GH >2.5 μg/l and IGF1 >1.3&#21...
