About acromegaly
Acromegaly is a rare, slowly progressive disease, typically caused by a tumor of the pituitary gland producing excess growth hormone and stimulating increased insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels. This results in abnormal growth of bone and tissue, enlarged hands, feet, facial features and inner organs, and symptoms such as fatigue, joint pain, headache, visual field defects, excessive sweating and paresthesia.1 Inadequate biochemical and symptom control can have detrimental impacts on quality of life and mortality of patients with acromegaly.2-7 The prevalence of acromegaly is estimated to about 60 cases per million.8
About Oclaiz™ (CAM2029)
Octreotide SC depot, CAM2029, is an investigational, ready-to-use octreotide for subcutaneous administration under development for the treatment of acromegaly, as well as gastroentero-pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NET), and polycystic liver disease (PLD). CAM2029 is designed for enhanced octreotide exposure and convenient, once-monthly administration with a prefilled pen injector and syringe to facilitate easy self-administration by patients.
The CAM2029 clinical program for acromegaly comprises of seven clinical trials, including four Phase 1 studies, one Phase 2 study, and two Phase 3 studies within the ACROINNOVA clinical program. CAM2029 has demonstrated an approximate five-fold higher bioavailability compared to the currently approved, long-acting, intramuscular (IM) octreotide9. In the Phase 3 ACROINNOVA program, CAM2029 showed superior biochemical control compared to placebo as well as improvements in symptom control, treatment satisfaction, and quality of life compared to standard of care with first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs).The safety profile of CAM2029 was similar to that of approved injectable octreotide and lanreotide products with no new or unexpected findings.
