Context: Biochemical control reduces morbidity and increases life expectancy in patients with acromegaly. With current medical therapies, including the gold standard octreotide long-acting-release (LAR), many patients do not achieve biochemical control.Objective: Our objective was to demonstrate the superiority of pasireotide LAR over octreotide LAR in medically naive patients with acromegaly.Design and Setting: We conducted a prospective, randomized, double-blind study at 84 sites in 27 countries.Patients: A total of 358 patients with medically naive acromegaly (GH > 5 mu g/L or GH nadir >= 1 mu g/L after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and IGF-1 above the upper limit of normal) were enrolled. Patients either had previous pituitary surgery but no medical treatment or were de novo with a visible pituitary adenoma on magnetic resonance imaging.Interventions: Patients received pasireotide LAR 40 mg/28 days (n = 176) or octreotide LAR 20 mg/28 days (n = 182) for 12 months. At months 3 and 7, titration to pasireotide LAR 60 mg or octreotide LAR 30 mg was permitted, but not mandatory, if GH >= 2.5 mu g/L and/or IGF-1 was above the upper limit of normal.Main Outcome Measure: The main outcome measure was the proportion of patients in each treatment arm with biochemical control (GH
