    Assessment of Clinical Symptomatic Response
    End point description
    This endpoint was assessed using 2 efficacy variables: • CTCs, enumerated at baseline and Weeks 5, 17, 25, 53 • Clinical symptomatic response, assessed by the use of symptom reporting Subjects recorded 24-hour symptom frequency and severity for 7 days prior to first treatment (baseline), throughout the study, and up to 28 days following final drug administration. Symptoms were recorded by answering predetermined questions on the interactive voice response system (IVRS). Subjects were considered to have a clinical symptomatic response between baseline and last study visit if any 1 of the following criteria were fulfilled: the average number of episodes of diarrhoea decreased by at least 50%, the average number of episodes of flushing decreased by at least 50%, the mode severity of flushing decreased by at least 1 level. Clinical symptomatic response was assessed as a qualitative variable (Yes/No) and reported according to CTC presence at baseline and overall.

    Assessment of Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
    End point description
    Subjects underwent Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans at baseline, Week 25 and Week 53. Progression was assessed by investigators using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1. The best overall response to study treatment is the highest time point response achieved by the subject and was assessed as a complete response, partial response, stable disease, progressive disease or non evaluable. For analysis of PFS, event dates were assigned to the first time that progressive disease was noted or the date of death. In case of progressive disease followed by death, the first event was considered in the analysis. Censoring dates were defined in subjects with no progressive disease or death before end of study. Median, minimum and maximum PFS time was analysed by CTC presence at baseline and overall and estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Subjects in the ITT population with data available for analysis are presented.

    End point title
    Mean Change from Baseline in Number of Episodes of Diarrhoea and Flushing
    End point description
    The effect of lanreotide Autogel on the symptoms of diarrhoea and flushing in subjects was assessed through patient reporting of NET symptoms. Subjects recorded 24-hour symptom severity for the 7 days prior to treatment (baseline), for the first 16 weeks and on days 11 to 17 of each subsequent injection interval until Week 49. After the final study drug injection at Week 49, subjects provided 24-hour symptom frequency on days 11 to 28. Symptom frequency was recorded by answering predetermined questions on the IVRS. Mean change from baseline in frequency (number of episodes) of diarrhoea and flushing are described at Week 1 (Visit 2) and at Week 49 (Visit 14) by CTC presence at baseline and overall. A negative change indicates an improvement in symptoms from baseline. Subjects in the ITT population with data available for analysis, according to CTC presence and overall, are presented for each time point.

    Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire: European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QoL Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30
    End point description
    The effect of lanreotide Autogel treatment on QoL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline, Weeks 13 (Visit 5), 25 (Visit 8) and 53 (Visit 15/end of study). The 30 item scale is divided into 9 multi-item scales (including 5 functional scales, 1 global health status/QoL scale and 3 general symptom scales) and 6 single items. Possible answers to the first 28 items (all items except the 2 concerning global quality of life) go from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The answers for the 2 last questions (Q29-30) go from 1 (Very poor) to 7 (Excellent). All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. For multi-item scales, the raw score will be calculated by the addition of item responses divided by the number of items. Higher scores for global health and functional domains indicate a better QoL, while higher symptom scores indicate worse symptoms. The mean change from baseline at each time point is reported for each of the category subscores.

    Assessment of PFS at One Year
    End point description
    Subjects underwent CT or MRI scans at baseline and Week 53. Progression was assessed by investigators using RECIST v1.1. The best overall response to study treatment is the highest time point response achieved by the subject and was assessed as a complete response, partial response, stable disease, progressive disease or non evaluable. For analysis of PFS, event dates were assigned to the first time that progressive disease was noted or the date of death. In case of progressive disease followed by death, the first event was considered in the analysis. Censoring dates were defined in subjects with no progressive disease or death before end of study. Median, minimum and maximum PFS time at one year was analysed by CTC presence at baseline and overall and estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Subjects in the ITT population with data available for analysis are presented.

    Lanreotide Autogel
    Reporting group description
    Subjects received deep subcutaneous injections of lanreotide Autogel for 1 year to treat the symptoms of functioning midgut NETs. A washout period was required for subjects receiving either subcutaneous octreotide (at least 2 weeks) or 1 injection of long-acting somatostatin analogue (at least 6 weeks) prior to treatment in the study. Initially subjects began treatment with a dose of lanreotide Autogel mg every 28 days for 3 months. Thereafter, the dose administered was determined on an individual subject basis by the treating clinician. Subjects could remain on the 120 mg dose, or be titrated to either 60 mg or 90 mg lanreotide Autogel, administered every 28 days according to their symptomatic response.
