About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Acromegaly focused on measuring acromegaly, IONIS-GHR-LRx

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 75 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Males or females with a documented diagnosis of Acromegaly* who are 18 to 75 years old (inclusive) at the time of informed consent.
  2. Have had pituitary surgery (e.g. transsphenoidal) unless there was a contraindication to surgery and are either acromegaly medical treatment naïve, or who had not taken any other acromegaly medications prior to the screening visit as outlined below

    • bromocriptine: 2 weeks
    • cabergoline: 4 weeks
    • quinagolide: 4 weeks
    • octreotide daily injection (SC) or oral formulation: 4 weeks
    • pegvisomant: 4 weeks
    • octreotide LAR: 3 months
    • pasireotide LAR: 4 months
    • lanreotide (all formulations): 3 months
  3. At Screening, serum IGF-1 (performed at the central lab) between 1.3 to 5 × ULN, inclusive, adjusted for age and sex.
  4. Females must be non-pregnant and non-lactating, and either surgically sterile, post-menopausal, abstinent, or using 1 highly effective method of birth control

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants who received surgery for pituitary adenoma within the last 3 months before the trial, and/or planning to receive surgery during the trial
  2. Participants who received radiotherapy for pituitary adenoma within the last 2 years before the trial, and/or planning to receive radiotherapy during the trial
  3. Participants with a pituitary tumor that, per Investigator judgment, is worsening (e.g., either growing or at risk of compressing or abutting the optic chiasm or other vital structures) as assessed by pituitary/sellar MRI protocol at Screening or within 3 months of Screening. CT scan is allowed if MRI is contraindicated
  4. Evidence of decompensated cardiac function per medical judgement and/or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class 3 or 4
  5. Clinical evidence of symptomatic hyperprolactinemia that would necessitate treatment
  6. Symptomatic cholelithiasis, and/or choledocholithiasis

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of IONIS-GHR-LRx subcutaneous (SC) injection as monotherapy in patients with acromegaly.
Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, open-label, randomized, Phase 2 study of IONIS-GHR-LRx in up to 40 participants with acromegaly. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups to receive a single dose of IONIS GHR-LRx monthly for 73 weeks. At the end of 73 weeks, participants will enter a 14-week post-treatment (PT) evaluation period.
