End point description
Time until disease progression according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.0 criteria. Disease progression was defined as the occurrence, while on treatment with lanreotide Autogel, of one or more new lesions; a ≥20% increase in the sum of the maximum diameters of the “target lesions”, taking as reference the lowest sum of maximum diameters recorded since the start of the study; or unequivocal progression of “nontarget lesions” ITT population
