What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Determine the MTD/RP2D of pasireotide LAR when administered i.m. q28 days to patients with advanced NETs

    Frequency of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) at each dose level associated with q28 days administration of pasireotide LAR during the first 2 treatment cycles.

    Measured: Sequentiona 56 day cohorts until the MTD is determined

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. assess the safety and tolerability of pasireotide LAR

    Incidence of adverse drug events, overall and by severity and incidence of serious adverse events and laboratory abnormalities. Also, changes in laboratory assessments, electrocardiograms, Holter monitor, imaging for gallstones, and assessment of physical examinations such as vital signs

    Measured: minimum of twelve 28 day cycles to approximately eighteen 28 day cycles

  2. assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of pasireotide LAR

    Pasireotide Cmax and Ctrough

    Measured: minimum of twelve 28 day cycles to approximately eighteen 28 day cycles

  3. assess the pharmacodynamics (PD) of pasireotide LAR

    Changes from baseline values in IGF-1, chromogranin A and neuron-specific enolase

    Measured: minimum of twelve 28 day cycles to approximately eighteen 28 day cycles

  4. assess the preliminary efficacy (anti-tumor activity) of pasireotide LAR.

    Disease control rate (CR+PR+SD as assessed by RECIST 1.0). Also measure progression free survival (PFS).

    Measured: minimum of twelve 28 day cycles to approximately eighteen 28 day cycles

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pasireotide LAR in people with Neuroendocrine Tumors, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 4 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 3 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 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.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Determine the MTD/RP2D of pasireotide LAR when administered i.m. q28 days to patients with advanced NETs (time frame: Sequentiona 56 day cohorts until the MTD is determined). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01364415, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Dec 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
