Can a newer drug outperform an older one in preventing spine fractures for acromegaly?

NCT ID NCT07179926

Summary

This study aims to see if a drug called Pasireotide LAR is better than another drug, Pegvisomant, at preventing spine fractures in adults with acromegaly whose disease is not well-controlled. Acromegaly often weakens bones, making fractures common. Researchers will compare the rate of new spine fractures over one year in 120 patients taking one of these two medications.
