Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Growth Hormone (GH) Level From Screening to End of Study (Week 24) — -1.7; -2.1 µg/L
Summary
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of an increased frequency of octreotide acetate injections or an increase in dose in partially responsive acromegalic patients with persistently uncontrolled disease.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Written voluntary informed consent.
- Patients with biochemically documented active acromegaly who are currently receiving somatostatin-analogues in a conventional treatment regimen (octreotide up to 30 mg/28 days; lanreotide up to 120 mg/28 days) for at least 6 months.
- Patients with uncontrolled disease defined as patients with a decrease of baseline levels of growth hormone (GH) ≥ 50% during treatment with somatostatin-analogues in a conventional regimen (sandostatin up to 30 mg/28 days; lanreotide up to 120 mg/28 days) for at least 6 months.
- Baseline (mean of 3 samples) GH level > 2 µg/L.
- Insulin-like Growth Factor I (IGF-I) levels above the upper limits of normal for age and gender.
