A Multicenter, Open-label, Randomized, Phase II Study to Evaluate Efficacy, Safety, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Pasireotide LAR in Japanese Patients With Active Acromegaly or Pituitary Gigantism
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Pasireotide LAR for Acromegaly and Pituitary Gigantism. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 27 sites.
Detailed Summary
To evaluate efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of pasireotide LAR in Japanese patients with active acromegaly or pituitary gigantism. Primary objective was to assess the total-group efficacy of pasireotide LAR on the reduction of mean GH levels to \< 2.5 µg/L and the normalization of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) at 3 months of study treatment.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Intramuscular administration of pasireotide LAR was repeated every month (1 month = 28 days) for 12 months in core phase. It was permitted to increase the dose up to 60 mg in a patient showing the following biochemical test results after 3 and 6 months of study treatment: mean GH levels ≥2.5 µg/L and/or IGF-1 \> ULN. In the event of any problem with tolerability, it was permitted to reduce the next lower dosage level at any time.
