Metabolic Outcomes in Patients With Prolactinomas Under Dopamine Agonist Treatment
Sponsor: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland
Summary
This randomized, active-controlled, parallel-arm, single-blind trial is to compare the effects of Dopamine agonists (DA) therapy targeting different established treatment strategies on glucose metabolism assessed by an oral glucose tolerance test.

Conditions
Interventions
Cabergoline (Dopamine Agonist)
Cabergoline is available in tablet form, with doses of 0.5 mg per tablet. The standard dosing for hyperprolactinemia typically starts at 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg per week, which can be gradually increased based on the patient's response, with a usual range of 0.25 mg to 2 mg per week. The dose required to achieve the target prolactin levels (pre- defined for each intervention arm) may vary between patients, so a fixed dose is not specified. This allows for individualized treatment based on each patient's response.
