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   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   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 ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To evaluate the efficacy of Lanreotide Autogel 120 mg when used as primary medical treatment in untreated de novo acromegalic patients with macroadenoma, as assessed by evaluating the change in pituitary tumor volume at Week 48 (after 12 injection – V5) compared to baseline volume (V1). A 20% reduction from baseline (as measured by MRI at V1) will be considered to be clinically significant.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The study was conducted under the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki, and in accordance with the International Conference of Harmonisation (ICH) Consolidated Guideline on Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and all local regulatory requirements.

    Patients received Lanreotide Autogel 120 mg administered every 28 days (±one day) via deep subcutaneous route in the upper external quadrant of the buttock, alternating the side at each administration. In order to ensure the performance of all protocol assessments, it was recommended to do the administration in the morning, approximately at 9:00 am after all the study assessments. The dose of Lanreotide Autogel was the same throughout the study. A total of 12 injections were administered during the study.

    Percentage of Patients With Improved, Unchanged or Worsened Clinical Signs of Acromegaly (Soft Tissue Swelling) From Baseline
    End point description
    The status of clinical signs of acromegaly assessed by an acromegaly symptoms questionnaire (paper form) completed by the patient at each study visit. The scoring for each clinical sign of acromegaly on the questionnaire is from 0 (no symptom) to 8 (severe, incapacitating symptom). The variation (or no variation) in scores indicate whether the clinical sign of acromegaly had improved, worsened or was unchanged. Analysis based on the number (n) of subjects in the ITT population with a valid value.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    30 Jan 2009
    Amendment 1: - Change in the name and address of the sponsor. - Change of timing of follow-up MRIs central readings
    25 Sep 2009
    Amendment 2: This amendment aimed to improve the scientific quality of the study. Study procedures did not change. -Inclusion and exclusion criteria amended related to visual field defect (Changes in inclusion and exclusion criteria do affect judgement of any efficacy endpoints, primary or secondary). -Extension of the recruitment period up to 33 months From a safety point of view the critical point of this amendment was to maintain the feasibility of a good visual evaluation capability, ensuring that visual defect that could result from pituitary adenoma change would be detected.
