E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
• To assess the long-term efficacy of SOM230 in patients with Cushing’s disease |
- Valutare gli effetti a lungo termine di SOM230 nei pazienti con malattia di Cushing |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To assess the long-term safety and tolerability of SOM230 in patients with Cushing’s disease; • To monitor trough plasma concentrations of SOM230 after chronic dosing; • To investigate gene-expression and protein changes in blood and urine for biomarker development. |
ï· Valutare la sicurezza e la tollerabilita` a lungo termine di SOM230 nei pazienti con malattia di Cushing.ï· Misurare le concentrazioni plasmatiche `trough' di SOM230 dopo somministrazione cronica.ï· Valutare l`espressione genica e le modificazioni delle proteine nel sangue e nelle urine per lo studio degli indicatori biologici. |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Patients have completed the 15 days of SOM230 treatment in [study CSOM230B2208]. • The patient achieved normalization of 24-hour urinary free cortisol, • If the patient did not achieve normalization of 24 -hour urinary free cortisol, but the investigator believes the patient is getting significant clinical benefits from treatment with SOM230, the patient may be continued on therapy after approval by Novartis. • The patient did not experience any unacceptable adverse events of tolerability issues during the original 15 day treatment. • Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60 • Written informed consent to participate in the extension study has been obtained • Female patients of child bearing potential who have not undergone clinically documented total hysterectomy and/or ovariectomy, or tubal ligation must agree to use barrier contraception throughout the course of the extension study, and for one month after the study has ended |
Saranno eleggibili allo studio i pazienti che hanno raggiunto la normalizzazione del cortisolo libero urinario delle 24 ore e che soddisfano tutti i criteri d’inclusione. Qualora i valori di cortisolo libero urinario delle 24 ore non fossero normalizzati, ma risultassero migliorati lo sperimentatore dovra` discutere l’eleggibilita` del paziente allo studio con Novartis, e deciderne l’inclusione in base al miglioramento dei valori di cortisolo libero urinario o al miglioramento significativo dei sintomi di ipercortisolismo quali l’ipertensione, dopo 15 giorni di terapia con SOM230. Pazienti che hanno completato i 15 giorni di trattamento con SOM230 nello studio CSOM230B2208. Normalizzazione dei livelli di cortisolo libero urinario delle 24 ore. Se il paziente non raggiunge la normalizzazione dei livelli di cortisolo libero urinario delle 24 ore ma lo sperimentatore ritiene che il paziente abbia ottenuto un beneficio clinico significativo con il trattamento con SOM230, il trattamento con SOM230 potra` essere proseguito dopo l’approvazione di Novartis. Pazienti che non hanno manifestato eventi aversi inaccettabili o problemi di tollerabilita` dopo 15 giorni di trattamento nel protocollo di studio originale. Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60. Consenso informato scritto. Donne potenzialmente in grado di procreare e che non hanno subito un’isterectomia totale e/o ovariectomia, o legatura delle tube, devono adottare un metodo contraccettivo di barriera per tutta la durata dello studio e per un mese dopo il termine dello stesso. |

Pazienti che hanno manifestato un Diabete Mellito scarsamente controllato come indicato da chetoacidosi o HbA1C > 10 dall’inizio dello studio CSOM230B2208. Livelli costanti di SGOT, SGPT o fosfatasi alcalina piu` di 2,5 volte maggiori dei limiti superiori di normalita` o bilirubina, o creatinina piu` di 2 volte maggiori dei limiti superiori. Disturbi della coagulazione (PT e PTT elevati, al di sopra del 30% dei limiti della norma), globuli bianchi < 3.0x109/L, emoglobina < 12 g/dL nelle femmine e < 13 g/dL nei maschi, piastrine < 100x109/L. |
