What is the future of acromegaly therapy?
Review in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acromegaly is a chronic multisystem disorder in which biochemical control remains suboptimal for many patients. Even when control is achieved, treatment burden is often high despite surgery and a spectrum of established safe and effective therapies. In this narrative review of multinational late-stage clinical trials through October 2025, we summarize drug developments that may broaden individualized medical strategies. Oral somatostatin receptor ligands are now available in the United States, underscoring a shift toward more convenient long-term management. In parallel, non-oral innovations continue to advance. Octreotide subcutaneous depot (CAM2029) maintains biochemical control with acceptable safety and may reduce treatment burden. Emerging pituitary-directed therapy with longer application intervals (Debio 4126) also shows pharmacologic activity consistent with effective disease control. Growth hormone (GH) receptor-directed agents (ALXN2420, MAR002) likewise demonstrate activity aligned with considerable biochemical and clinical benefit. Collectively, these agents may address unmet needs by broadening the scope of options to control production of hepatic insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and to attenuate additional extrahepatic GH signaling. They may also help ease the practical burden of chronic therapy.
