About this study

Official title: Open Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy and Safety of Two Doses of an Octreotide Implant in Patients With Carcinoid Syndrome

Evaluate the pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of an octreotide implant for the treatment of the symptoms of carcinoid syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate a longer acting octreotide formulation. A subcutaneous implant at 2 doses will be evaluated for pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety for a period of 9 months.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Octreotide in people with Carcinoid Syndrome, run by Endo USA Inc., a Keenova Therapeutics Company at 3 sites 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 6 inclusion and 2 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 20 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 (reason given: Program was terminated for business reasons). 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?

Assess the effects of 1 or 2 implants on carcinoid syndrome symptoms of flushing and diarrhea (time frame: 9 months). 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 20 Sep 2013.
