Measure
Pasireotide LAR
Patients assigned to pasireotide LAR will receive a 60 mg dose of pasireotide LAR i.m. depot injection once every 28 days (+/- 3 days) for 6 months at visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. A dose reduction to 40 mg is permitted if tolerability issues arise. In addition, after 24 hours of the first LAR injections the patients were permitted to use pasireotide s.c. formulation for breakthrough symptoms as needed.
Octreotide LAR
Patients assigned to octreotide LAR will receive a 40mg dose of octreotide LAR i.m. depot injection once every 28 days (+/- 3 days) for 6 months at visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. A dose reduction to 30 mg is permitted if tolerability issues arise. Patients requiring a dose reduction are to return to the higher dose once the tolerability issue is resolved, if required for efficacy. In addition, after 24 hours of the first LAR injections the patients were permitted to use octreotide s.c. formulation for breakthrough symptoms as needed.
Extension: Octreotide LAR/Pasireotide LAR
After 6 month double blind core period, non-responders on Octreotide were given option to cross over to Pasireotide LAR in the Extension Phase of study.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 6

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) consists of all patients randomized into the study. Patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at randomization. Patients randomized 6 months before the final clinical cutoff date were included in this analysis.

Baseline evaluations were to include Triphasic CT scan or MRI of the abdomen. Triphasic CT or MRIs were to be read by same radiologist at each assessment, measuring the same target and non-target lesions and accounting for all lesions that were present at Baseline. All known disease was accounted for when assessing objective tumor status. Current objective tumor status was to be captured on Tumor Assessment CRF. Objective response rate was defined by RECIST criteria: Partial response (PR) must have ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter of all target lesions, from the baseline sum. Complete response (CR) must have disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. For CR or PR, tumor measurements must be confirmed by 2nd assessments within 4 weeks. Progression = 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter of all target lesions, from smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline; or a new lesion; or progression of non-target lesions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Month 6

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) consists of all patients randomized into the study. Following the intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment they were assigned to at randomization. Patients with analyzable data at month 6 were included in this analysis.

Disease control rate (DCR) is the proportion of patients with a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD). Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of longest diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline, or a new lesion; or progression of non-target lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD. Unknown (UNK) Progression has not been documented and one or more target lesions have not been assessed or have been assessed using a different method than baseline.

Measure
Pasireotide LAR
n=53 participants at risk
Patients assigned to pasireotide LAR will receive a 60 mg dose of pasireotide LAR i.m. depot injection once every 28 days (+/- 3 days) for 6 months at visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. A dose reduction to 40 mg is permitted if tolerability issues arise. In addition, after 24 hours of the first LAR injections the patients were permitted to use pasireotide s.c. formulation for breakthrough symptoms as needed.
Octreotide LAR
n=57 participants at risk
Patients assigned to octreotide LAR will receive a 40mg dose of octreotide LAR i.m. depot injection once every 28 days (+/- 3 days) for 6 months at visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. A dose reduction to 30 mg is permitted if tolerability issues arise. Patients requiring a dose reduction are to return to the higher dose once the tolerability issue is resolved, if required for efficacy. In addition, after 24 hours of the first LAR injections the patients were permitted to use octreotide s.c. formulation for breakthrough symptoms as needed.
Extension Phase Pasireotide LAR
n=20 participants at risk
Patients assigned to pasireotide LAR will receive a 60 mg dose of pasireotide LAR i.m. depot injection once every 28 days (+/- 3 days) for 6 months at visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. A dose reduction to 40 mg is permitted if tolerability issues arise. In addition, after 24 hours of the first LAR injections the patients were permitted to use pasireotide s.c. formulation for breakthrough symptoms as needed.
Extension Phase Octreotide LAR
n=6 participants at risk
Patients assigned to octreotide LAR will receive a 40mg dose of octreotide LAR i.m. depot injection once every 28 days (+/- 3 days) for 6 months at visits 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. A dose reduction to 30 mg is permitted if tolerability issues arise. Patients requiring a dose reduction are to return to the higher dose once the tolerability issue is resolved, if required for efficacy In addition, after 24 hours of the first LAR injections the patients were permitted to use octreotide s.c. formulation for breakthrough symptoms as needed.
Crossover to Pasireotide LAR
n=15 participants at risk
After 6 month double blind core period, non-responders on Octreotide were given option to cross over to Pasireotide LAR in the Extension Phase of study.
