Summary

This Phase 2 trial tests a new drug called MAR002 in 72 adults with acromegaly, a condition caused by a pituitary tumor that leads to too much growth hormone. Participants will receive either MAR002 or a placebo as injections under the skin. The study will check if the drug is safe and if it lowers IGF-1 levels, a key marker of the disease, over 10 weeks.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for acromegaly that helps control hormone levels and symptoms.
