NCT03439709

Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators hypothesize that upfront gamma knife radiosurgery with drug therapy is superior in the treatment of growth hormone-secreting pituitary tumors after primary surgical treatment compared with the drug therapy alone. This study can provide useful clinical information in the treatment of patients with acromegaly.

Study Arms (2)

intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Gamma knife radiosurgery (Leksell Gamma Knife, Elekta AB, Stockholm, Sweden) is used for intervention. Administration of standard medical therapy using Lanreotide 60 mg concurrently starts with radiosurgery

Radiation: Gamma knife radiosurgeryDrug: Lanreotide 60Mg Solution for Injection

control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Without radiosurgery, standard medical therapy (Lanreotide 60Mg Solution for Injection) same with interventional group is applied

Drug: Lanreotide 60Mg Solution for Injection

Interventions

Minimum 25 Gy of marginal dose is applied for residual tumor or resection cavity. Depending on the size of tumor, the dose can be varied.

intervention

Lanreotide injection.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Among patients with acromegaly due to growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma who underwent primary surgical resection, patients who fail to achieve endocrinologic remission at 3 months after surgery.
  • On brain MRI scan at 3months after surgery, residual tumor is confirmed by clinicians
  • the definition of endocrinologic remission
  • random growth hormone level \< 2.5 ug/L
  • normalization of age-matched insulin growth factor-1 level

You may not qualify if:

  • patients with contraindication of stereotactic radiosurgery; e.g. pregnancy or planning pregnancy, or claustrophobia
  • recurrent pituitary adenoma
  • limited life expectancy due to systemic disease; e.g. malignant tumor, genetic disease, and terminal stage of renal or hepatic failure
  • disability to clinic visit due to postoperative complications

Masking Details
Technically, the procedure of gamma knife radiosurgery includes fixating stereotactic frame on the head of patients. Therefore, It is not possible to keep masking for participants and other investigators.

Intervention Model
PARALLEL
Model Details: The patients with acromegaly due to growth hormone secreting pituitary adenoma who receive primary surgical resection and fail to achieve endocrinologic remission at 3 months after surgical resection are enrolled. They are devided into two groups; One consists of patients underwent upfront stereotactic radiosurgery combinated with standard drug therapy, and another group consists of patients receiving only standard drug therapy.
