Background: Most patients responding to injectable somatostatin receptor ligands exhibit IGF-I variability around the upper limit of normal (ULN) during long-term follow up. These fluctuations are thought to result from assay variability, nutrition, comorbid conditions, concomitant medications and other unknown factors. The magnitude and factors affecting this variability arenot well understood in patients with acromegaly treated with injectable SRLs.
Methods: IGF-I levels of patients responding to and stably treated with injectable SRLs were measured over time in the CHIASMA OPTIMAL phase 3 study. Two time periods were assessed – Period 1, three assessments during screening before randomization to octreotide capsules (n = 56); and Period 2, multiple assessments up to week 36, in patients rescued with SRL injections for ≥ 12 weeks (n = 21).Time from last injection to each assessment in period 1 [Screening visits 1 and 2 (SV1 & SV2) and Baseline] was on average 6.8 ± 10.7 (
Results: Overallmean within-patient percent change of IGF-I levelsduring Period 1 was 20.48 ± 15.56 (range: 0.6–81). Mean IGF-I levels for SV1, SV2 and Baseline were 0.78 ± 0.18,0.79 ± 0.18, and 0.85 ± 0.22 × ULN respectively. Overall increase in mean IGF-I levels from SV1 to Baseline (longest time interval) was statistically significant (P = 0.0002; paired T-test). Overall mean within-patient percent change of IGF-I levels during Period 2 was 15.27 ± 12.20 (range: 0–41.5). Mean duration of follow up during this period, after patients were already treated for 12 weeks with oral SRL, was 4.38 months (range: 2.67–7.47). The variability in Period 2 was similar to that observed in the entire sample evaluated in Period 1. No significant correlation was found between individual IGF-I percent change and any demographic and Baseline characteristics examined.
Conclusion: IGF-I levels fluctuate in patients with acromegaly responsive to injectable SRLs. These fluctuations can be up to 81% higher than the lowest (most controlled) value, with an average increase of approximately 20%. Significant IGF-I increases were observed at the end of the injection interval of long acting SRLs.
