Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of a neuroendocrine tumor of the carcinoid type.
  • Documented evidence of carcinoid syndrome (flushing and/or diarrhea) attributable to a primary tumor of the lung, stomach or mid-gut.
  • Previous positive Octreoscan.
  • World Health Organization (WHO) performance score lower than 2.
  • At the baseline visit patients MUST satisfy the following criteria before they are randomized to receive study treatment:
  • Stool and/or flushing frequency of greater than or equal to 3 episodes/day (average over a minimum five consecutive days).
  • Patients who have previously been treated with somatostatin analogues must have discontinued treatment for a sufficient period of time (a washout period of at least 7 days for immediate release formulations and up to 2 months for prolonged release formulations is usually required). Compared with their "controlled" state on treatment, these patients must show a clinically significant deterioration (at least two episodes) of either symptom. For example, a patient considered to be controlled on their previous treatment with an estimated stool frequency of two episodes per day, must achieve a stool frequency of at least four episodes per day (average over a minimum five consecutive days).
  • WHO performance score lower than 2.

Who cannot join

  • VIPoma or other non-carcinoid tumor.
  • Treatment with interferon, chemotherapy or radiotherapy given within 30 days prior to inclusion, or planned during the study.
  • Radionuclide treatment within three months prior to inclusion, or planned during the study.
  • Presence of other active malignant pathology (except basal cellular carcinoma of the skin and/or in situ carcinoma of the cervix/uterus).
  • Surgical procedure or embolization procedure (with or without cytotoxic agents) of the tumor within three months prior to inclusion, or planned during the study.
  • Life expectancy of less than 6 months.
  • Any investigational drug given within 30 days prior to inclusion or expected to be given during the study.
  • No access to a telephone for completion of the daily telephone diary.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing lanreotide Autogel (somatostatin analogue) and Sandostatin long acting release (LAR) Depot (somatostatin analogue) in people with Malignant Carcinoid Syndrome, run by Ipsen at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Target symptom frequency (flushing or stool frequency).. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2020.
