- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The primary endpoint is the proportion of patients who achieve normalized IGF-I levels at 24 weeks in each treatment arm.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To assess the efficacy of pasireotide LAR (60 mg) alone in normalizing IGF-I levels, within the IGF-I age adjusted normal limits, after 48 weeks of treatment. <br /><br /><br><br>The efficacy of pasireotide LAR (60 mg) combined with PEGV in normalizing IGF-I levels, within the age adjusted normal limits, after 48 weeks of treatment. <br><br /><br /><br>The necessary dose of PEGV, during co-treatment of pasireotide LAR (60 mg) with PEGV in patients with an IGF-I level within the age adjusted normal limits. <br><br /><br /><br>Safety will be assessed based on: adverse events, clinical examination, vital signs, glucose tolerance, EKG, standard hematology, biochemistry, endocrine function tests, GH, PEGV levels and liver function tests.
