About the Study


Research Centre: CMAX Clinical Research
Location: 18a North Terrace Level 5, Adelaide, SA, 5000, Australia
Lead Researcher: Dr. Jessica Gehlert
HREC: This study has been reviewed and approved by the Bellberry Human Research Ethics Committee

Scientists conduct research to understand how new medications work. Current advancements in treatment options have been due to the continuous efforts of the scientific community. However, further research needs to be done so that society can further benefit from effective therapy options in the future. Healthy individuals are often asked to assist with the study of investigational therapies. 
Researchers are exploring a potential treatment for Acromegaly and are inviting healthy men to help out. Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder in which the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone. The potential treatment is a medication called Lanreotide. Lanreotide is a medication that is licensed worldwide for the treatment of Acromegaly. In Australia, Lanreotide is licensed to be given through an injection. The potential treatment is given through a more convenient manner for both the patients and caregivers. Overall, researchers seek to enhance the quality of life of people who have Acromegaly.
