The RApid Switch From 1st Generation Somatostatin Analogues to PaSireOtiDe In Acromegaly (RAPSODIA)

September 11, 2024 updated by: Andrea Giustina, IRCCS San Raffaele

The RApid Switch From 1st Generation Somatostatin Analogues to PaSireOtiDe In Acromegaly ( RAPSODIA )

This is an observational, retrospective, national multicenter study aimed to evaluate the impact and efficacy of Time To Switch (TTS) from first-line to second-line medical therapy in Acromegaly.

Detailed Description

The study will retrospectively collect clinical, laboratory and anamnestic data of approximately 100 patients evaluated at the UOs involved in the study in last 5 years and 6 months.

Acromegalic patients which neurosurgical intervention was not completely effective or contraindicated or rejected by the patient and for which first-line medical therapy with first-generation somatostatin analogues (octreotide LAR or lanreotide) did not result in disease control and switched to second-line medical therapy will be enrolled. The TTS is the time defined in days and months from the observation that disease is no longer biochemically controlled, defined by the presence of GH levels ≥1 μg/L and IGF-1>1.3×ULN (upper limit of normal), during 1st line therapy, and the start of 2nd line therapy line.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluate the impact of TTS on disease control in acromegalic patients defined by IGF-1 levels <1.3xULN
Time Frame: 12 months
Retrospective data on biochemical and clinical outcomes of patients affected by acromegaly treated with second-line medical therapy will be collected and analyzed. The patients will be stratified based on the therapeutic switch time (Time To Switch, TTS) < 6 months, between 6 and 12 months and > 12 months, from 1st generation SSA to the different second-line medical approaches (Pasireotide; Pegvisomant alone; Pegvisomant + first generation SSA combination). The impact of TTS on the biochemical and clinical control of illness will be analyzed.
