Acromegaly | Niche & Rare Disease Landscape & Forecast | US/EU5 | 2016
Acromegaly is a chronic endocrine disorder characterized by hypersecretion of growth hormone and overproduction of insulin-like growth factor-1. Nearly all cases of acromegaly are caused by an adenoma of the anterior pituitary. A majority of patients are effectively cured by surgical intervention and those who are not receive pharmacological treatment from one of several available drug classes. The bulk of the pipeline of emerging therapies focuses on reformulating existing therapies to improve dosing frequency and route of administration.
