We aimed to investigate the efficacy of pegvisomant in patients with acromegaly resistant to long-term (> or = 24-month), high-dose treatment with octreotide-LAR (40 mg/month) or lanreotide (120 mg/month).
This was an open, prospective study.
We studied 16 patients with acromegaly (nine women; aged 28-61 years). The main outcome measures were IGF-I levels, blood pressure, glucose tolerance and safety (liver function and tumor size). Pegvisomant was given at doses of 10-40 mg s.c. daily. Dose titration was performed every month by IGF-I assay.
Three patients spontaneously stopped pegvisomant treatment after 6-9 months because of poor compliance; from the measurement of serum pegvisomant, another patient was found not to inject herself properly. After 6 months, IGF-I levels decreased by 63 +/- 19% (767.8 +/- 152.9 vs 299.8 +/- 162.9 microg/l, P < 0.0001, t-test); serum IGF-I levels normalized in 57%. After 12 months, IGF-I levels normalized in nine (75%) patients and were reduced by over 50% in another three (25%). The mean tumor volume remained stable during the study (1198 +/- 1234 vs 1196 +/- 1351 mm(3), P = 0.37): it did not change ( +/- 25% vs basal) in nine patients, increased by 39.4% and 40.8% in two and decreased by 30.8-46.5% in four. The total/high-density lipoprotein (HDL):cholesterol ratio (from 4.4 +/- 1.0 to 3.7 +/- 0.6, P = 0.0012), glucose levels (from 5.6 +/- 1.2 to 4.4 +/- 1.4 mmol/l, P = 0.026), insulin levels (from 12.4 +/- 6.7 to 8.1 +/- 3.0 mUl/l, P = 0.0023) and homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) index (from 3.4 +/- 2.1 to 1.9 +/- 1.0, P = 0.0017) decreased.
Treatment for 12 months with pegvisomant normalized IGF-I levels, and improved cardiovascular risk parameters and insulin sensitivity in patients with acromegaly resistant to long-term, high-dose treatment with somatostatin analogs. The tolerance of treatment was good.
我们旨在研究培维索孟对长期(≥24个月)接受高剂量奥曲肽长效释放剂(40mg/月)或兰瑞肽(120mg/月)治疗仍耐药的肢端肥大症患者的疗效。
这是一项开放性前瞻性研究。
我们研究了16例肢端肥大症患者(9例女性;年龄28 - 61岁)。主要观察指标为胰岛素样生长因子-I(IGF-I)水平、血压、糖耐量及安全性(肝功能和肿瘤大小)。培维索孟皮下注射,剂量为每日10 - 40mg。每月通过检测IGF-I进行剂量滴定。
3例患者因依从性差在6 - 9个月后自行停止培维索孟治疗;通过检测血清培维索孟发现,另1例患者未正确注射。6个月后,IGF-I水平下降了63±19%(767.8±152.9 vs 299.8±162.9μg/L,P < 0.0001,t检验);57%的患者血清IGF-I水平恢复正常。12个月后,9例(75%)患者的IGF-I水平恢复正常,另外3例(25%)患者的IGF-I水平降低超过50%。研究期间平均肿瘤体积保持稳定(1198±1234 vs 1196±133351mm³,P = 0.37):9例患者肿瘤体积未变化(与基线相比变化±25%),2例患者肿瘤体积分别增加39.4%和40.8%,4例患者肿瘤体积分别下降30.8% - 46.5%。总胆固醇/高密度脂蛋白(HDL)胆固醇比值(从4.4±1.0降至3.7±0.6,P = 0.0012)、血糖水平(从5.6±1.2降至4.4±1.4mmol/L,P = 0.026)、胰岛素水平(从12.4±6.7降至8.1±3.0mU/L,P = 0.0023)及稳态模型评估(HOMA)指数(从3.4±2.1降至1.9±1.0,P = 0.0017)均下降。
对于长期接受高剂量生长抑素类似物治疗仍耐药的肢端肥大症患者,使用培维索孟治疗12个月可使IGF-I水平恢复正常,并改善心血管风险参数及胰岛素敏感性。治疗耐受性良好。
