First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at two medications for acromegaly, a condition causing too much growth hormone. The goal is to see which drug better prevents spine fractures over one year. About 120 adults whose acromegaly is not controlled by first-line treatments will take either Pasireotide LAR or Pegvisomant. The results could help doctors choose the best treatment to protect bones.
