Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

    • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).

    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).  
     
    Examples: Cancer AND drug name. Pneumonia AND sponsor name.

    E.1.3Condition being studied is a rare disease Yes
    E.2 Objective of the trial
    E.2.1Main objective of the trial
    To investigate the efficacy of 8-months treatment of Sandostatin LAR High Dose monotherapy or Sandostatin LAR High Dose in combination either with GH antagonist or dopamine agonist to control both biochemical parameters (GH and IGF-I) in a large population of acromegalic patients not achieving biochemical normalization after at least 6 months of SSA at conventional regimen.
    E.2.2Secondary objectives of the trial
    - to evaluate the efficacy of Sandostatin LAR High Dose 40 mg i.m. to wholly control biochemical parameters after 3 months of monotherapy (Visit 2)
    - to evaluate the efficacy of either Sandostatin LAR High Dose monotherapy or combination therapy arms to partially control biochemical parameters after 8-months of treatment
    - to evaluate the effectiveness of either Sandostatin LAR High Dose monotherapy or combination therapies to relieve clinical signs and symptoms of acromegaly
    - to evaluate changes in Quality of Life after either Sandostatin LAR High Dose monotherapy or combination therapies
    - to evaluate the safety and tolerability of either Sandostatin LAR High Dose monotherapy and combination therapies
    E.2.3Trial contains a sub-study No
    E.3Principal inclusion criteria
    - Male or female patients aged >= 18 years
    - Patient with biochemically documented active acromegaly, not adequately controlled by conventional regimen, as follows: mean 1-h GH > 2.5 μg/L, according to Central Laboratory and IGF-I above the upper limit of normal range, adjusted for age and gender, according to Central Laboratory range. Both tests should be documented by Central Laboratories and not older than 4 weeks from entry
    - Patient has been receiving SSA at conventional regimen for at least 6 months prior to entry (Note : for the purpose of this study, the definition of SSA at conventional regimen is : Sandostatin LAR (octreotide) at 30 mg every 28 days or Autogel (lanreotide) at 120 mg every 28 days)
    - Patient with the reduction of either mean fasting GH at least 50% or IGF-I at least 25% from any medical pretreatment level
    - Patient with diagnosis of pituitary micro- or macroadenoma and independently from previous surgery
    - Written voluntary informed consent
    E.4Principal exclusion criteria
    - Newly diagnosed or previously medically untreated acromegalic patient
    - Concomitant treatment with GH-receptor antagonist (Note : prior treatment with GH-antagonist is allowed providing a wash-out period of at least 8 weeks before inclusion)
    - Concomitant treatment with dopamine-agonist (Note : prior treatment with dopamine-agonist is allowed providing a wash-out period of at least 6 weeks before inclusion)
    - Symptomatic cholelithiasis or choledocolithiasis
    - Liver transaminases (ALT, AST) elevated, but >= 3 times upper normal limit (according to local laboratory)
    - Previous gamma-knife radiotherapy for treatment of acromegaly (Note : previous conventional radiotherapy is allowed providing that it was stopped at least 3 weeks before inclusion)
    - Compression of the optic chiasm causing visual field defect
    - Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs with similar chemical structures
    - Any medical conditions contraindicated in the Summary of Product Characteristic (SPC) of all study drugs
    - Any current or prior medical condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, may interfere with the conduct of the study or the evaluation of the study results.
    - Female patients who are pregnant or lactating or are of childbearing potential and not practicing a medically acceptable method for birth control.
    - Participation in investigational drug study within 30 days before inclusion. Patient must have recovered from all side effects of other investigational therapy
    - History of non-compliance to medical regimens, or patient who is considered potentially unreliable, or any circumstance at the time of study inclusion that would preclude completion of the entire study or the required follow up
    E.5 End points
    E.5.1Primary end point(s)
    The primary efficacy variable is the Complete Response Rate (CRR), defined as the total number of patients who will be “Completely Responder” at the end of 8-months treatment, whatever was the treatment .

    For the purpose of this study, a patient will be classified as “Completely Responder” (CR) if both biochemical parameters will be controlled at the end of 8-months of treatment, i.e :
    • Mean 1-hour GH =< 2.5 μg/L (according to Central laboratory)
    and
    • IGF-I within the Central Laboratory Normal Range (for age and gender)
