Official Title
Acromegaly: Patient And Physician Perspectives
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to assess the experiences of individuals with acromegaly who are receiving injections as part of their treatment regimen. Another objective of the study is to compare the patients' perception with their doctors' perceptions. The answers are important to help researchers and physicians understand what it is really like to take currently available treatments so that they can make efforts to improve patients' healthcare experiences, reduce treatment burden and, ultimately, improve patient's quality of life.
