Understanding bone strength in acromegaly
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at what makes bones strong or weak in people with acromegaly (a condition that causes too much growth hormone). It aims to find better ways to check bone health and prevent fractures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acromegaly (high growth hormone levels).
- You are able to come to the clinic for outpatient visits.
- You can understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant.
- You have not taken steroids (except for replacement therapy) or osteoporosis medications in the past year.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at how treatments for acromegaly affect how you function and move, especially in your hands, feet, and overall body structure. You may be asked to do assessments to understand changes over time and whether certain groups respond differently.
This study tests a simple recognition tool to help tell whether someone has acromegaly or not. It may be useful for faster, easier identification of the condition.
This study follows people with acromegaly to better understand how treatments are used in real life and how well they work over time. It may help improve future treatment choices by comparing outcomes across different care patterns.
This study tests a new drug called MAR002 to treat acromegaly, a hormone disorder caused by a pituitary tumor that makes too much growth hormone. The drug is designed to help lower hormone levels and improve symptoms.
This early-phase trial tests a new investigational drug called MAR002 in healthy men. The goal is to see how safe the drug is and how the body handles it before moving to larger studies.
This study looks at how bone health and muscle strength (“osteosarcopenia” — loss of both bone and muscle) change after a hip fracture in older adults. It may help doctors understand who is at higher risk and how to better support recovery after hip surgery.
