E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the octreotide implant during 24 weeks of treatment in patients with acromegaly who had been previously treated with octreotide depot;
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives include the assessment of the effects of treatment with the implant over 24 weeks on: • Signs and symptoms scores • Quality of Life score • Pituitary tumor size • Patients Treatment Assessment (a patient-reported assessment of the treatment)

Other laboratory values considered by the Investigator or Sponsor to be clinically significant 5. Unstable angina, sustained ventricular arrhythmias or heart failure (NYHA III and IV) 6.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
• Primary efficacy will be assessed via measurement of the pharmacodynamics resulting from treatment with the implant, ie, growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) concentration levels. The primary endpoints will be the average concentrations of GH and IGF-1 levels over the 24-week treatment period. • Safety and tolerability resulting from treatment with the implant for 24 weeks will be evaluated on the basis of spontaneously-reported adverse events and changes in physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECG, clinical laboratory data, concomitant medications, pituitary tumor size, and gall bladder ultrasonography outcomes.
