BACKGROUND: The aim of the treatment of acromegaly is to normalise the hormonal activity. Besides the surgical and radiation treatment, medical therapy can be used. The project was set to determine the value of combined therapy with lanreotide and terguride in patients with active acromegaly. METHODS AND RESULTS: Nine patients previously treated with lanreotide for at least one year without normalisation of hormonal activity were included in the study. Terguride was added to lanreotide for one month. The combined treatment brought about reduction of growth hormone (GH) levels, however, with marginal significance only. GH-BP, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 serum levels were not changed significantly. Considering the individual cases, the combined treatment resulted in normalisation of GH levels in one patient and that of IGF-I in another one. Substantial decrease of GH levels (> 50%) was found in three patients and that of IGF-I (> 20%) in another one patient. CONCLUSIONS: The combined treatment of acromegaly appears to be more effective than monotherapy with lanreotide only in a subset of acromegalic patients.
