Open-Label Extension of LOCKCYST Trial (LOCKCYST-ext)

November 12, 2008 updated by: Radboud University Medical Center

Open-Label Extension of the LOCKCYST Trial, LOCKCYST: Long Acting Lnareotide as as Volume Reducing Treatment of Polycystic Livers

Positive data originating from two polycystic liver patients treated with somatostatin analogues, showed a volume reduction of 38.3% and 14.9%. These two patients had complicated polycystic livers and no other therapeutic options were available.

Patients who participated in LOCKCYST trial are able to benefit from active treatment. Participants will be actively treated for 24 weeks.
