Context: In clinical practice, patients with acromegaly may be switched from therapy with long-acting somatostatin analogs to pegvisomant. The effect of changing therapies on glucose homeostasis and safety has not been reported.Objectives: The objectives of this study were to monitor changes in IGF-I levels, glycemic control, and safety, particularly liver function and tumor size.Design: This was a multicenter, open-label, 32-wk trial study.Setting: The study was performed at outpatient clinics.Patients: Fifty-three patients with acromegaly previously treated with octreotide long-acting release (LAR) participated in this study.Intervention: Pegvisomant (10 mg/d) was initiated 4 wk after the last dose of octreotide LAR and was adjusted based on serum IGF-I concentrations at wk 12, 20, and 28.Main Outcome Measures: The main outcome measures were changes in IGF-I, glycosylated hemoglobin A(1c) (HbA(1c)), fasting plasma glucose, and safety during the first 12 wk after conversion.Results: At the end of pegvisomant treatment, IGF-I was normalized in 78% of patients. At wk 32, median fasting glucose concentration and HbA(1c) were reduced (-1.4 mmol/liter and -0.4%, respectively; both P
