Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the impact of pasireotide (PAS) therapy on hormonal and glycometabolic outcome in patients with acromegaly previously treated with combination medical therapies or unconventional dosages of first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (fg-SRLs). METHODS Retrospective study carried out in two referral centers for pituitary diseases. Twenty-one acromegalic patients were switched to PAS (12 had biochemical control, 9 were uncontrolled). Data were collected after 3- and 6-months PAS treatment, and at the last available visit (median 35 months). RESULTS After switching to PAS therapy, a significant reduction in IGF-1 values was observed [median 39%; 0.79 xULN (IQR 0.5-1.01) vs 1.29 xULN (IQR 1.06-1.83); p = 0.009]. IGF-1 reduction was statistically significant in the 9 patients previously uncontrolled (61%, p = 0.016), and in the 12 controlled subjects (33%, p = 0.037). At last follow-up, the number of patients reaching an acceptable biochemical control (IGF-1 < 1.3 xULN) raised from 57 to 90% (p = 0.032). Mean HbA1c levels increased from 5.7% (5.5-5.9) to 6.0% (5.9-7) (p = 0.002), and the percentage of diabetic patients raised from 14% (3/21) to 67% (14/21) (p = 0.004). At the last evaluation HbA1c was ≥ 7.0% in 5 patients (24%). Antidiabetic drugs were initiated in 9 new patients, and in 7 out of 9 metformin alone was effective. Younger age and male sex were predictors for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. CONCLUSION PAS monotherapy can be effective in acromegalic patients previously treated with combination medical therapies or unconventional dosages of fg-SRLs. Glucose imbalance can be managed in the vast majority of cases by use of lifestyle interventions and metformin.

Hu Y, Yuan C, Abdulnaimu M, Memetmin J, Jie Z, Tuhuti A, Abudueini H, Guo Y. U-Shaped relationship of insulin-like growth factor I and incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver in patients with pituitary neuroendocrine tumors: a cohort study. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2024; 15:1290007. [PMID: 38370349 PMCID: PMC10869555 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2024.1290007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/17/2024] [Indexed: 02/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Context Although the role of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-1) in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has garnered attention in recent years, few studies have examined both reduced and elevated levels of IGF-1. Objective The aim of this study was to examine the potential relationship between IGF-1 levels and the risk of new-onset NAFLD in patients with pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET). Methods We employed multivariable Cox regression models and two-piecewise regression models to assess the association between IGF-1 and new-onset NAFLD. Hazard ratios (HRs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to quantify this association. Furthermore, a dose-response correlation between lgIGF-1 and the development of NAFLD was plotted. Additionally, we also performed subgroup analysis and a series sensitivity analysis. Results A total of 3,291 PitNET patients were enrolled in the present study, and the median duration of follow-up was 65 months. Patients with either reduced or elevated levels of IGF-1 at baseline were found to be at a higher risk of NAFLD compared to PitNET patients with normal IGF-1(log-rank test, P < 0.001). In the adjusted Cox regression analysis model (model IV), compared with participants with normal IGF-1, the HRs of those with elevated and reduced IGF-1 were 2.33 (95% CI 1.75, 3.11) and 2.2 (95% CI 1.78, 2.7). Furthermore, in non-adjusted or adjusted models, our study revealed a U-shaped relationship between lgIGF-1 and the risk of NAFLD. Moreover, the results from subgroup and sensitivity analyses were consistent with the main results. Conclusions There was a U-shaped trend between IGF-1 and new-onset NAFLD in patients with PitNET. Further evaluation of our discoveries is warranted.

Abstract
Lipid metabolism is known to be involved in tumorigenesis and disease progression in many common cancer types, including colon, lung, breast and prostate, through modifications of lipid synthesis, storage and catabolism. Furthermore, lipid alterations may arise as a consequence of cancer treatment and may have a role in treatment resistance. Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are a heterogeneous group of malignancies with increasing incidence, whose mechanisms of cancer initiation and progression are far from being fully understood. Alterations of lipid metabolism may be common across various cancer types, but data about NENs are scattered and heterogeneous. Herein, we provide an overview of the relevant literature on lipid metabolism and alterations in NENs. The available evidence both in basic and clinical research about lipid metabolism in NENs, including therapeutic effects on lipid homeostasis, are summarized. Additionally, the potential of targeting the lipid profile in NEN therapy is also discussed, and areas for further research are proposed.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiovascular disease is a common complication in acromegaly. We investigated the risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with acromegaly in a large-scale population using nationwide data in Korea. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a nationwide, retrospective, observational, cohort study of patients with acromegaly (n = 1874) and age- and sex-matched subjects without acromegaly (n = 9370) for a mean follow-up of 7.5 ± 3.2 years. The study outcomes were myocardial infarction, stroke, atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, and all-cause death. All outcomes were analysed by Cox proportional hazards regression analysis while controlling for age, sex, household income, place, Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidaemia. The incidence (per 1000 person-years) of atrial fibrillation (3.06 vs. 1.70; P = 0.001), congestive heart failure (3.11 vs. 1.63; P < 0.001), and all-cause mortality (6.31 vs. 4.03; P < 0.001) in patients with acromegaly was higher than in controls. However, the incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke did not differ between groups. After adjustment for covariates, the risk for atrial fibrillation [hazard ratio (HR): 1.59; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.09-2.31], congestive heart failure (HR: 1.54; 95% CI: 1.06-2.25), and all-cause mortality (HR: 1.31; 95% CI: 1.01-1.69) was significantly higher in patients with acromegaly. In time lag sensitivity analysis, a higher risk for atrial fibrillation was observed only in the first 4 years after diagnosis in acromegaly patients compared with controls (HR: 3.05; 95% CI: 1.94-4.79). CONCLUSION Patients with acromegaly were at higher risk for atrial fibrillation, congestive heart failure, and all-cause death. The risk of atrial fibrillation had a time-dependent association with acromegaly.

Abstract
Acromegaly is a systemic disease associated with great morbidity and increased mortality if not adequately treated. In the past decades much improvement has been achieved in its treatment and in the knowledge of its comorbidities. We provide an update of acromegaly management with current recommendations. We also address long-term comorbidities emphasizing the changing face of the disease in more recent series, with a decrease of cardiovascular disease severity and an increased awareness of comorbidities like bone disease, manifested mainly as vertebral fractures and the change in the main cause of death (from cardiovascular disease to cancer in more recent series).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Acromegaly is a rare disease due to oversecretion of growth hormone (GH). Even though the disease is often portrayed by its most apparent clinical features, given the abundance of GH receptors throughout the body, it truly is a systemic disease leading to numerous complications and comorbidities. A distinct medical issue in the context of acromegaly is diabetes: It can be a complication as a consequence of GH excess and its mediators, but it can also result from treatment of acromegaly. AREAS COVERED This review provides an overview of the effects of acromegaly pathophysiology on glucose homeostasis. Furthermore, it devotes an extensive section on the influence that acromegaly treatment has on glucose metabolism, including approved as well as currently investigated drugs. It also summarizes observations from the use of anti-diabetic medication in patients with acromegaly. EXPERT OPINION Glucose imbalance is an important aspect of acromegaly comorbidity and deserves more attention. Even though numerous studies have investigated glucose homeostasis in acromegaly, there is still a clear need for more basic, translational, and also clinical research to advance the understanding of the underlying mechanisms and how to best address them.

Abstract
Acromegaly is a disease due to chronic GH excess and a consequent rise in IGF-1 levels. This rare endocrine condition is associated with metabolic alterations such as hyperglycaemia, dyslipidaemia, and systemic arterial hypertension, which, in addition to GH excess-related cardiovascular changes, play critical roles in increasing cardiovascular risk and mortality rates. Biochemical control of acromegaly, achieved by means of surgical, and/or medical treatment, positively impacts on cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic alterations, reducing overall patient mortality. However, treatment modalities of acromegaly and disease control differently impact on glucose homeostasis and lipid changes, and consequently on cardiometabolic risk. In this regard, pasireotide was shown to significantly influence glucose metabolism. This review summarizes the cardiometabolic consequences of acromegaly and its treatment, focusing on available data around the effects of medical therapy with pasireotide on factors that influence cardiometabolic risk.

Abstract
The anterior and posterior hypophyseal hormones alter glucose metabolism in health and disease. Secondary diabetes may occur due to hypersecretion of anterior pituitary hormones like adrenocorticotrophic hormone in Cushing's disease and growth hormone in acromegaly. Other hormones like prolactin, gonadotropins, oxytocin and vasopressin, though not overtly associated with causation of diabetes, have important physiological role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. Hypoglycaemia is not an unusual occurrence in hypopituitarism. Many of the medications that are used for treatment of hypophyseal diseases alter glucose metabolism. Agents like pasireotide should be used with caution in the setting of diabetes, whereas pegvisomant should be given preference. Diabetes mellitus itself, on the other hand, can alter the functioning of hypothalamic pituitary axis; this is documented in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This review focuses on the clinically relevant interplay of hypophyseal hormones and glucose homeostasis. The authors define 'hypophyseo-vigilance' as an approach which keeps the bidirectional, multifaceted interactions between the pituitary and glucose metabolism in mind while managing diabetes and pituitary disease.

Abstract
The Korean Endocrine Society (KES) published clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of acromegaly in 2011. Since then, the number of acromegaly cases, publications on studies addressing medical treatment of acromegaly, and demands for improvements in insurance coverage have been dramatically increasing. In 2017, the KES Committee of Health Insurance decided to publish a position statement regarding the use of somatostatin analogues in acromegaly. Accordingly, consensus opinions for the position statement were collected after intensive review of the relevant literature and discussions among experts affiliated with the KES, and the Korean Neuroendocrine Study Group. This position statement includes the characteristics, indications, dose, interval (including extended dose interval in case of lanreotide autogel), switching and preoperative use of somatostatin analogues in medical treatment of acromegaly. The recommended approach is based on the expert opinions in case of insufficient clinical evidence, and where discrepancies among the expert opinions were found, the experts voted to determine the recommended approach.

Abstract
Acromegaly is a chronic systemic disease with many complications and is associated with increased mortality when not adequately treated. Substantial advances in acromegaly treatment, as well as in the treatment of many of its complications, mainly diabetes mellitus, heart failure, and arterial hypertension, were achieved in the last decades. These developments allowed change in both prevalence and severity of some acromegaly complications and furthermore resulted in a reduction of mortality. Currently, mortality seems to be similar to the general population in adequately treated patients with acromegaly. In this review, we update the knowledge in complications of acromegaly and detail the effects of different acromegaly treatment options on these complications. Incidence of mortality, its correlation with GH (cumulative exposure vs last value), and IGF-I levels and the shift in the main cause of mortality in patients with acromegaly are also addressed.

Briet C, Ilie MD, Kuhn E, Maione L, Brailly-Tabard S, Salenave S, Cariou B, Chanson P. Changes in metabolic parameters and cardiovascular risk factors after therapeutic control of acromegaly vary with the treatment modality. Data from the Bicêtre cohort, and review of the literature. Endocrine 2019; 63:348-360. [PMID: 30397873 DOI: 10.1007/s12020-018-1797-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2018] [Accepted: 10/17/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT Untreated acromegaly is associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to malignant, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular disorders. Effective treatment of acromegaly reduces excess mortality, but its impact on cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic parameters are poorly documented. AIM We analyzed changes in cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic parameters in patients receiving various treatment modalities. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively studied 96 patients with acromegaly, both at diagnosis and after IGF-I normalization following surgery alone (n = 51) or medical therapy with first generation somatostatin analogues (SSA, n = 23), or pegvisomant (n = 22). Duration of follow-up was 77 (42-161) months, 75 (42-112) months, and 62 (31-93) months, in patients treated with surgery alone, SSA, and pegvisomant, respectively. In all the cases except four, patients treated medically had underwent previous unsuccessful surgery. RESULTS IGF-I normalization was associated with increased body weight, decreased systolic blood pressure (SBP) in hypertensive patients, decreased fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HOMA-IR and HOMA-B levels, increased HDL cholesterol (HDLc); whereas, LDL cholesterol (LDLc) was not significantly different. Plasma PCSK9 levels were unchanged in patients with available values. Cardiovascular and metabolic changes varied with the treatment modality: surgery, but not pegvisomant, had a beneficial effect on SBP; FPG decreased after surgery but increased after SSA; the decline in HOMA-IR was only significant after surgery; pegvisomant significantly increased LDLc and total cholesterol; whereas SA increased HDLc and had no effect on LDLc levels. CONCLUSION Treatments used to normalize IGF-I levels in patients with acromegaly could have differential effects on cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic parameters.

Abstract
PURPOSE This 2-year analysis assessed frequency of comorbidities and comorbidity screening in the Somatuline® (lanreotide, LAN) Depot for Acromegaly (SODA) registry. METHODS Patient data collected included pituitary hormone deficiencies, sleep studies, echocardiograms, gallbladder sonographies, colonoscopies, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone levels in patients with (DM) and without (non-DM) diabetes mellitus were analyzed. RESULTS There were 241 patients enrolled. Pituitary hormone deficiencies were reported more frequently at enrollment in male (56.9%) vs female patients (32.0%; p < 0.001). TSH deficiency was the most common endocrine deficiency (69.8%), followed by gonadotropin deficiency (62.3%). Screening tests reported at enrollment: sleep studies in 29.9% (79.2% had sleep apnea), echocardiogram in 46.1% (46.8% abnormal), gallbladder sonography in 18.7% (17.8% had gallstones), and colonoscopy in 48.1% (35.3% had polyps). Follow-up studies were reported less frequently at 1 and 2 years. HbA1c data were reported in 30.8% and 41.2% after 1 and 2 years. HbA1c levels were similar at 1 and 2 years of LAN therapy among DM and non-DM patients with available data. Fewer DM vs non-DM patients achieved IGF-1 below upper limit of normal at Month 24 (58.3% vs 80.6%; p = 0.033). CONCLUSIONS Fewer than half of patients in SODA had screening results reported at enrollment for sleep apnea, cardiomyopathy, and colon polyps. Gallbladder imaging was reported in a minority of patients. Lower IGF-1 control rates were observed in DM vs non-DM patients at Month 24. These data suggest a need for better monitoring of comorbidities in US acromegaly patients.

Biochemical efficacy of long-acting lanreotide depot/Autogel in patients with acromegaly naïve to somatostatin-receptor ligands: analysis of three multicenter clinical trials. Pituitary 2018; 21:283-289.

Abstract
PURPOSE In clinical research involving acromegalic patients naïve to somatostatin-receptor ligands (SRLs), 19 and 31% of those receiving the SRLs octreotide LAR and pasireotide LAR, respectively, achieved GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1 concentrations. The proportions achieving control appeared higher in the post-surgery compared with the de-novo setting with pasireotide, but more similar with octreotide. Using pooled data from multicenter clinical trials, we examined the biochemical efficacy of lanreotide depot/Autogel in similar settings. METHODS Inclusion criteria: Ipsen-sponsored, 48-52-week trials in SRL-naïve acromegalic populations receiving lanreotide depot (60-120 mg); patients were included if de novo (no prior acromegaly treatment) or post-surgery (no medical treatment; radiotherapy allowed unless within previous 3 years). Efficacy endpoints included normalized IGF-1 levels and GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1 at study end/last value available. ANALYSES all patients (analysis #1) and subset with baseline GH > 5 ng/mL (analysis #2). RESULTS Three studies were included. Analysis #1: normalized IGF-1 was achieved by 42% (71/171) of patients overall (post-surgery, 46% [21/46]; de-novo, 40% [50/125]); GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1 was achieved by 35% (59/171) (39% [18/46] and 33% [41/125], respectively). Analysis #2: normalized IGF-1 levels, 39% (46/118) (post-surgery, 40% [10/25]; de-novo, 39% [36/93]); GH < 2.5 ng/mL + normalized IGF-1, 31% (36/118) (28% [7/25] and 31% [29/93], respectively). CONCLUSION In these pooled analyses of SRL-naïve patients receiving lanreotide depot, 39-42% achieved IGF-1 control and 31-35% achieved GH and IGF-1 control. Control rates within post-surgery cohorts did not differ markedly from those in corresponding de-novo cohorts.

Abstract
Acromegaly is a rare disease due to chronic GH excess and to the consequent increase in IGF-1 levels. Both GH and IGF-1 play a role in intermediate metabolism affecting glucose homeostasis. Indeed, chronic GH excess impairs insulin sensitivity, increases gluconeogenesis, reduces the glucose uptake in adipose tissue and muscle and alters pancreatic β cells function. As a consequence, glucose metabolism alterations are a very frequent complication in acromegaly patients, further contributing to the increased cardiovascular risk and mortality. Treatment modalities of acromegaly differently impact on glucose tolerance. Successful surgical treatment of acromegaly ameliorates glucose metabolism abnormalities. Drugs used to treat acromegaly patients may per se affect glucose homeostasis, therefore influencing patients' management. Indeed pegvisomant has been shown to positively impact on glucose metabolism, while somatostatin analogs, especially pasireotide, can cause hyperglycaemia. On the other hand, robust data on the effect of dopamine agonists on glycaemic profile are still lacking. This review summarizes the available data on diabetes mellitus in acromegaly patients, with a focus on the potential effects of the medical treatment of the disease on glucose homeostasis, providing an overview of the current state of the art.

Abstract
PURPOSE This analysis evaluates the 2-year effectiveness and safety of lanreotide depot/autogel (LAN), as well as treatment convenience and acromegaly symptom relief, from the Somatuline® Depot for Acromegaly (SODA) registry, a post-marketing, open-label, observational, multicenter, United States registry study. METHODS Patients with acromegaly treated with LAN were eligible for enrollment. Demographics, LAN dose, extended dosing interval (EDI) (interval of injections ≥42 days), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), growth hormone (GH), glycated hemoglobin, adverse events (AEs), injection convenience, and symptom data were collected. RESULTS As of September 29, 2014, 241 patients were enrolled in SODA. IGF-1 levels below age- and gender-adjusted upper normal limit (ULN) were achieved in 71.2% at month (M) 12 and 74.4% at M24; GH ≤2.5 µg/L in 83.3% at M12 and 80.0% at M24; GH <1.0 µg/L in 61.7% at M12 and 61.4% at M24. Both IGF-1 < ULN and GH ≤2.5 µg/L were achieved in 65.0% at M12 and 54.8% at M24; both IGF-1 < ULN and GH < 1.0 µg/L were achieved in 51.7 and 42.9% at M12 and M24, respectively. EDI regimen was 5.0% at baseline and 12.0% at M24. At M24, acromegaly symptoms appeared stable or improved. The most common AE was arthralgia (25.7%). Among 106 serious AEs reported by 42 patients, 10 were deemed related to therapy in 9 patients. At M24, 73.1% of patients rated LAN as convenient. CONCLUSIONS SODA indicates 2-year biochemical control with majority of patients achieving both IGF-1 < ULN and GH ≤2.5 µg/L. LAN was generally well tolerated with no new or unexpected safety signals reported during the observation period. clinicaltrials.gov Clinical Trial Identifier: NCT00686348.

Abstract
Whether somatostatin analogs for acromegaly improve or worsen a patient's glycemic profile is controversial. A risk of hypoglycemia should be presumed, especially when patients receive insulin therapy, as the package inserts caution. However, a detailed clinical course of such a case has never been reported in research articles. An 80‐year‐old Japanese female diabetes patient treated with insulin therapy was diagnosed with acromegaly, and the somatostatin analog, lanreotide, was given. On day 4 of lanreotide treatment, repeated hypoglycemia as a result of exogenous insulin arose and the patient required inpatient care. After lanreotide treatment, the total daily insulin dose could be reduced, but her fasting C‐peptide level decreased from 1.6 to 0.4 ng/mL, implying improved insulin resistance and impaired endogenous insulin secretion. In the present case, marked alteration surrounding lanreotide administration was observed; careful co‐administration with insulin therapy is required, as the package insert cautions.
