This thesis investigates the therapeutic efficacy of somatostatin analogues and in particular pasireotide in acromegaly patients through analysis of large datasets from international multicenter cohorts and a large-scale phase IV study. She considers setting up a proof-of-concept study applying a ketogenic diet to acromegaly patients, a potential new treatment option, as her most notable contribution to this field of research.
The PhD defences do not take place publicly in the usual way in the Senate Hall at campus Woudestein or in the Professor Andries Querido Room at the Erasmus MC. The candidates will defend their dissertation either in a small group or online.
