Paltusotine is a once-daily, selective, non-peptide, SST2 receptor agonist in development as an oral treatment for patients with acromegaly or carcinoid syndrome. The Acromegaly Symptom Diary (ASD) is a novel patient-reported outcome tool developed in accordance with US FDA guidance to assess disease-related symptom burden. The ASD consists of 7 core items (headache, joint pain, sweating, fatigue, leg weakness, swelling, numbness/tingling, score range: 0-70; higher scores indicate greater symptom burden) plus 2 additional items (sleep difficulty, memory difficulty) and is completed daily. We previously reported the topline results of PATHFNDR-1 (NCT04837040), a phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of paltusotine in adults with acromegaly who were previously controlled (IGF-I ≤1.0 ×ULN) on stable (≥12 weeks) injected octreotide or lanreotide. Patients were randomly allocated to once-daily paltusotine 40 mg or placebo for 36 weeks, with uptitration to 60 mg/day permitted through week 24. IGF-I and GH levels (IDS-iSYS) and pituitary tumor volume (MRI) were measured centrally. Fifty-eight patients (paltusotine, n=30; placebo, n=28) were enrolled: mean (±SD) age 54.9±13.7 years; 55.2% female; prior treatment octreotide LAR (n=34) or lanreotide depot (n=24). The primary endpoint (proportion of patients maintaining IGF-I ≤1.0 ×ULN mean of weeks 34 and 36) was met by significantly more patients on paltusotine (83.3%) versus placebo (3.6%; odds ratio: 126.53; 95% CI: 13.73, 999.99; P0.0001). All secondary endpoints were met: mean (±SE) change in IGF-I of 0.04±0.09 ×ULN versus 0.83±0.1 ×ULN (P0.0001); and GH maintained at 1.0 ng/mL in 87.0% versus 27.8% of patients (odds ratio: 16.61; 95% CI: 2.86, 181.36; P0.001). The most common adverse events (AEs) were typical of the somatostatin receptor ligand (SRL) class or acromegaly symptoms. There were no severe or serious AEs in the paltusotine group. One patient in the placebo group discontinued study participation (patient decision). There were no clinically significant changes in pituitary tumor volume. The mean completion rate of the daily ASD questionnaire was 79.1%. At the end of randomized treatment, the ASD total score was significantly increased from baseline (indicating worsening) in the placebo group compared with the paltusotine group, meeting the secondary endpoint (-0.6±1.5 versus 4.6±1.6; P=0.02). For individual ASD symptoms, mean scores were consistently indicative of improvement with paltusotine compared to placebo; the between-group difference was statistically significant for joint pain (P0.05), numbness/tingling (P0.01), and the “most bothersome” symptom (P0.05). In conclusion, once-daily oral paltusotine maintained symptom control in concert with biochemical values in well-controlled patients switched from injected SRLs and was well tolerated.
