CAM2029 for Acromegaly
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The trial aims to test the long-term safety and effectiveness of a new treatment called CAM2029 for individuals with acromegaly, a condition characterized by excessive growth hormone production. Participants will receive a monthly injection of CAM2029 for one year, with an option for extended treatment. The study seeks individuals diagnosed with acromegaly who have maintained a stable dose of specific medications for at least three months. As a Phase 3 trial, this study represents the final step before FDA approval, providing participants an opportunity to contribute to the potential availability of a new treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial requires that you have been on a stable dose of octreotide LAR or lanreotide ATG for at least 3 months before joining. If you are taking other medications for acromegaly, like pasireotide, pegvisomant, or dopamine agonists, you must stop them before the trial, with specific timeframes mentioned for each.
Is there any evidence suggesting that CAM2029 is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that CAM2029 is generally safe for people with acromegaly. Studies have found it safe for most users, and over a year of treatment, CAM2029 proved safe in the long term. This indicates its safety even with year-long use.
CAM2029 offers a convenient and effective treatment option, requiring only one monthly injection under the skin. This method is not only effective but also more comfortable for patients compared to other treatments. Overall, evidence suggests that CAM2029 is a safe option for treating acromegaly.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for acromegaly?
Researchers are excited about CAM2029 because it offers a new way to manage acromegaly with a convenient delivery method. Unlike traditional somatostatin analogs that often require daily injections, CAM2029 is a long-acting octreotide subcutaneous depot that only needs to be administered once a month. This can greatly improve patient comfort and compliance. Plus, its sustained release formula aims to maintain stable drug levels, potentially providing better symptom control with fewer side effects.
What evidence suggests that CAM2029 might be an effective treatment for acromegaly?
Research has shown that CAM2029, which participants in this trial will receive, effectively treats acromegaly. Studies have found that monthly injections of CAM2029 significantly improve levels of IGF-1, a key indicator of acromegaly. The treatment is considered safe and has been reported to enhance patients' perceptions of their health. CAM2029, a type of octreotide injected under the skin, helps the body use it more effectively. Overall, long-term research supports CAM2029 as a promising new treatment for acromegaly, with a safety profile similar to standard treatments.34567

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults diagnosed with acromegaly who have been on a stable dose of octreotide LAR or lanreotide ATG for at least 3 months can join. They must have certain levels of IGF-1, good organ function, and a normal ECG. People who've had recent surgery, uncontrolled diabetes, or used specific acromegaly treatments recently cannot participate.Inclusion Criteria
