研究概览
简要总结
This study is designed to assess the effect of the different continuous s.c. infusion treatments on the human growth hormone (hGH) levels in untreated acromegalic patients in comparison to a standard dose of octreotide. In addition, the pharmacokinetic profile and the safety and tolerability of DG3173 after continuous s.c. infusion will be evaluated.

研究组 & 干预措施
Saline, then DG3173, then octreotide
Interventions: saline, DG3173 and octreotide. Eligible patients are to receive a constant 23 hour subcutaneous infusion of saline as placebo comparator and will be randomized in an equal ratio to one of three treatment sequences of doses of 920, 2760 and 5520 µg DG3173 by constant 23 hour subcutaneous infusions in a random sequence followed by three subcutaneous injections of 300 µg octreotide at approximately 8 hour intervals as an active comparator.
