Effective Combination Treatment with Cabergoline and Low-Dose Pegvisomant in Active Acromegaly: A Prospective Clinical Trial

Abstract: These data suggest that combination treatment with cabergoline and pegvisomant is more effective at reducing IGF-I levels than either cabergoline or pegvisomant monotherapy.

“…The efficacy of dopamine agonists in the treatment of acromegaly is low. The recommended doses of these drugs in acromegaly should be higher than the doses used in the case of prolactin-secreting pituitary adenomas (prolactinoma) [13,23].…”

“…Cabergoline, which is much more expensive in Poland (no reimbursement), leads to the normalisation of IGF-1 in about 40% of cases and decreases GH secretion below 2 µg/L in 44% of patients with adenomas secreting only GH, and in 56% of patients with mixed tumours secreting both GH and PRL. Therefore, dopamine agonists may be used in the case of mixed tumours secreting GH and PRL and combined with somatostatin receptor ligands or GH receptor antagonist to improve their efficiency in patients showing resistance to maximal doses of somatostatin analogues [23,24].…”

“…Two recent, small studies evaluated the addition of CAB to the treatment regimen of patients whose conditions remained uncontrolled under PEG therapy [34,35]. In a prospective clinical trial involving 24 patients, CAB in monotherapy was up-titrated to a dose of 0.5 mg/day without observing significant changes in IGF-I [34].…”

“…In a prospective clinical trial involving 24 patients, CAB in monotherapy was up-titrated to a dose of 0.5 mg/day without observing significant changes in IGF-I [34]. With the addition of PEG 10 mg/day, normalization of IGF-I levels was observed in 68 % of the patients.…”
