Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in drug levels of Sandostatin after IM injection of Sandostatin LAR without ultrasound guidance (as is the standard of care) compared to drug levels of Sandostatin after IM injection of Sandostatin LAR with ultrasound guidance in subjects with Acromegaly.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
1
3 months of ultrasound guided IM injections of octreotide LAR followed by 3 months of non-ultrasound guided injections of octreotide LAR
|
Drug: Sandostatin LAR
use of consistent monthly dose of medication for duration of 6 months.
Other Name: Ultrasound guided Sandostatin LAR injection
Drug: Sandostatin LAR
All patients receive Sandostatin LAR throughout trial at a fixed dose established at entry into the study.

2
3 months of non-ultrasound guided octreotide LAR IM injections followed by ultrasound guided IM injections of LAR
|
Drug: Sandostatin LAR
All patients receive Sandostatin LAR throughout trial at a fixed dose established at entry into the study.

Detailed Description:
IM intragluteal injections have been reported to be inaccurate in their placement in the intramuscular compartment when performed as dictated by the current standard of care. This inaccuracy of placement may have an effect on the efficacy of drugs delivered by the IM route. Furthermore, the inaccuracy of IM injections was found to be directly related to BMI and was found to be more inaccurate in female subjects. Ultrasound guidance of IM injections will improve the accuracy of placement of IM injections and may improve drug levels and efficacy of Sandostatin LAR in the treatment of Acromegaly.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male and female patients ≥18 years old

- Currently being treated with Sandostatin LAR and have been treated with a stable dose for 3 months prior to entry into the study.
- Patients with diabetes may be included, blood glucose and diabetic treatments are to be monitored closely during the trial in these subjects
- Patients have provided written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
- Patients who are pregnant or lactating
- Patients who have a known hypersensitivity to Sandostatin acetate or other related drug or compound
- Patients with current gallstones
- Patients with a past or current history of cancer, except for basal cell carcinoma or in situ cancer of the cervix
- Patients with a history of hepatic disease (patients with minimal, i.e., <3Xs the upper limit of normal for LFTs indicative of hepatic steatosis, MAY participate)
- Patients who have received glucocorticoid therapy within the past 6 months, or who are currently receiving any chemotherapeutic agents, or exogenous growth hormone therapy
- Patients who have received other investigational drugs administered or received within 30 days of study entry
- Patients with unacceptable concomitant diagnoses, or who have received medications and/or therapies (i.e., any concomitant illnesses or therapies that would place the patient at increased risk, or would, in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor, interfere with the evaluation of efficacy or safety) Interruption or discontinuation of treatment
