Can a Once-Monthly shot tame Acromegaly's hormone overdrive?
NCT ID NCT04076462
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether a new, once-monthly injection of octreotide (CAM2029) can help people with acromegaly, a condition where the body makes too much growth hormone. Participants will receive either the study drug or a placebo for six months. The main goal is to see if the drug can bring hormone levels (IGF-1) back to normal, which could mean better control of symptoms and long-term health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- octreotide subcutaneous depot (CAM2029)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this monthly injection could offer a more convenient way to manage acromegaly, potentially replacing current treatments that require more frequent dosing.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but it's still possible the drug won't be more effective than placebo or may have side effects. The results will need to be confirmed in larger, longer-term studies.
