Summary

MYCAPSSA™ (formerly Octreolin™) is a proprietary oral form of the approved injectable medical product octreotide used to treat acromegaly. This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of MYCAPSSA™ treatment in patients with acromegaly.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adult subjects, aged 18 to 75 years old, inclusive.
  • Subjects with acromegaly defined as documented evidence of growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumor that is abnormally responsive to glucose, or documented elevated insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), who are currently receiving a stable dose of a somatostatin analog for at least the previous 3 months.
  • A serum IGF-1 level < 1.3 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) and a serum growth hormone (GH) level < 2.5 ng/mL.
  • Subjects able and willing to comply with the requirements of the protocol.
  • Subjects able to swallow capsules.
  • Subjects able to understand and sign written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Receiving regular injections of a somatostatin analog less frequently than once a month, ie, longer than every 4 weeks.
  • Symptomatic cholelithiasis.
  • Received pituitary radiotherapy within ten years prior to screening.
  • Undergone pituitary surgery within the prior 6 months.
  • Any condition that may jeopardize study participation.
  • Clinically significant gastrointestinal (GI), renal, or hepatic disease as determined by the Investigator.
  • Conditions (eg, bariatric surgery) significantly affecting gastric acidity or emptying.
  • Current use (within 1 month) of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and current chronic use of H2-antagonists.
  • Female patients who are pregnant or lactating.
  • Current or recent (< 3 months) therapy with pegvisomant.
  • Current or recent (< 2 months) therapy with cabergoline.
