ACROBAT Edge: Safety and Efficacy of Switching Injected Somatostatin Receptor Ligand (SRLs) to Oral Paltusotine in Patients With Acromegaly

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Single-arm exploratory study

Authors' conclusion

These results suggest once-daily oral paltusotine was effective in maintaining IGF-I values in patients with acromegaly who switched from injected SRLs. Paltusotine was well tolerated with a safety profile consistent with other SRLs.
