E.1.2 | Version | 9.1 |
E.1.2 | Level | LLT |
E.1.2 | Classification code | 10036832 |
E.1.2 | Term | Prolactinoma |

E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary study objective is to evaluate the rate of patients responding to a dose of 600 and 900 µg Pasireotide (SOM230), given in a randomized order within two consecutive days, that is within 48 h. Response is defined as a minimal 25% decrease of the primarily elevated Prolactin values. A cross-over study design was chosen to discriminate between the potential effects of different doses of Pasireotide (600 µg, 900 µg, or the sum of both) on serum Prolactin levels. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• Mean decrease of Prolactin in serum • Dose-dependency of any effect • Safety and tolerance of the Pasireotide administration • PK-/PD-analysis • Correlation of clinical response and receptor status as determined by quantitative reverse real time PCR and immunohistochemistry whenever material is available.
|
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Male and female patients • Age: 18 – 80 years • Patients with Prolactinomas as shown by: - increased serum levels of Prolactin > 150 ng/ml and - confirmation of tumor lesion by MRT • A wash-out phase for non de novo patients with the following timeframes: - Bromocriptine: 7 days - Quinagolide: 7 days - Cabergoline: 14 days •Women of childbearing potential must use effective contraception during the study and for three months after study completion. A contraceptive method is considered effective when its failure rate is less than 1% per year (Pearl Index (PI)). Contraception must consist of either double-barrier contraception, oral contraceptive plus barrier contraceptive or clinically documented total hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy or tubal ligation. Postmenopausal females must show amenorrhea for at least 12 months. • Written informed consent
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Clinically significant renal or hepatic abnormalities • Evidence of drug/alcohol abuse • The patient has received any unlicensed drug within 30 days prior to screening • Known hypersensitivity to Somatostatin analogs • Pregnancy or breast-feeding • Known immunosuppression • Hyperprolactinemia due to any other cause (e.g. anti-depressive drugs) • Patients with risk factors for Torsade de Pointes (QT > 470 ms on screening ECG, hypokalaemia, familiar history of a Long-QT-Syndrome or concomitant medication known to prolong the QT interval) •Heart failure (NYHA II-IV) • Other malignant diseases, except Basalioma or in situ Cervix carcinoma

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Percentage of patients, who show an at least 25% decrease of the primarily elevated Prolactin values in serum samples within 10 hours after the administration of 600 or 900 µg Pasireotide. |
