Effect of 120mg Somatuline Autogel at Different Dose Intervals (28, 42 or 56 Days) in Patients With Acromegaly

November 21, 2019 updated by: Ipsen

A Phase III, Multicentre, Open Label, Comparative, Dose-interval Titration Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Six Repeated Deep Subcutaneous Administrations of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg, in Acromegalic Patients Previously Treated With Octreotide LAR

A multicentre, prospective, open label study of acromegalic patients evaluating the efficacy and safety of different dose-intervals of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg according to international standards and compared to previous treatment with Octreotide LAR 10, 20 or 30 mg.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Six repeated applications of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg administered every 28, 42 or 56 days. For the first three injections, the interval depends on the Octreotide LAR dosage administered previously. The dose interval is titrated after injection 3 depending on the efficacy of the therapy with Lanreotide Autogel

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patient must give written (personally signed and dated) informed consent before completing any study-related procedure.
  • The patient must have a documented diagnosis of active acromegaly and be adequately treated with a stable dose (10, 20 or 30 mg) of Octreotide LAR for at least 6 months immediately prior to study entry. A documented diagnosis of active acromegaly is defined as IGF-1 more than 30% higher than two Standard Deviations ( +2 SD) above the normal age and sex adjusted value (see Appendix 6) or GH level after OGTT (Oral Glucose Tolerance Test) > 2ng/mL while not under drug treatment for acromegaly. For patients having undergone surgery or radiotherapy, this diagnosis must have been performed after the most recent surgical or radiation treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has had pituitary surgery (adenomectomy) within 6 months prior to study entry
  • The patient has received stereotactic (LINAC, Gamma Knife) radiotherapy for acromegaly within three years or conventional radiotherapy for acromegaly within five years prior to study entry

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Mean Insulin like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) and Growth Hormone (GH) levels at the beginning and end of the study and as proportion of patients conforming to internationally accepted levels.
Time Frame: 1 dose interval after the last administration of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg
1 dose interval after the last administration of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Dose interval, 28, 42 or 56 days for repeated injections of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg which are effective in reducing IGF-1 and GH levels to internationally accepted levels.
Time Frame: Last three injections of Lanreotiude Autogel 120mg
Last three injections of Lanreotiude Autogel 120mg
Dose interval, 28, 42 or 56 days for repeated injections of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg, which shows comparable efficacy to the previous treatment with Octreotide LAR 10, 20 or 30 mg in controlling IGF-1 and GH levels
Time Frame: Interval between doses after titration in part 2 of treatment (injections 3-6)
Interval between doses after titration in part 2 of treatment (injections 3-6)
Patient symptoms and quality of life on Lanreotide Autogel and comparison to previous Octreotide LAR treatment.
Time Frame: 1 dose interval after the last administration of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg
1 dose interval after the last administration of Lanreotide Autogel 120mg
