pasireotide LARDrug
Also called SOM230
Pasireotide long-acting was administered as an intra-muscular depot intragluteal injection once every 28 days (±2 days). Patients were administered pasireotide long-acting 10 mg or 30 mg for four months, followed by either continuation of the starting dose, or dose up-titration (if mUFC was still >1.5xULN unless titration was precluded by safety reasons).
SOM230 LAR 30 mgDrug
starting dose of 30 mg i.m. administered once every 28 days for 4 months, followed by dose up-titration or continuation of starting dose.
SOM230 LAR 10 mgDrug
starting does of SOM230 LAR 10 mg i.m. administered once every 28 days for 4 months, followed by dose up-titration or continuation of the starting dose.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| 10 mg LAR dose | Experimental | Randomization was stratified based on Screening mUFC to ensure balanced distribution of disease severity in the two dose arms. Receives: Drug: pasireotide LAR; Drug: SOM230 LAR 10 mg |
| 30 mg LAR dose | Experimental | Randomization was stratified based on Screening mUFC to ensure balanced distribution of disease severity in the two dose arms. Receives: Drug: pasireotide LAR; Drug: SOM230 LAR 30 mg |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage Participants That Attained a mUFC ≤ 1.0 x ULN at Month 7 Regardless of Dose Titration
Percentage of participants that attained a mean urinary free cortisol (mUFC) <= 1.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) at Month 7 regardless of dose up-titration at Month 4.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Ctrough
Pasireotide trough levels (Ctrough) was 1 of the parameters used for PK assessments. Ctrough is the pre-dose PK concentration with an elapsed time from previous injection of 28+/-2 days. All patients randomized to the study had at least 1 PK observation \& were therefore included in the pharmacokinetic analysis set. PK observations with missing concentrations, missing dose, missing elapsed time or an elapsed time from previous injection outside of 28 ±2 days window were excluded. Given that SOM230 LAR was administered once a month, Ctrough was collected every 28 days and thus this provides a summary of Ctrough values provided by incident dose (last dose administered prior to PK sample collection), not by randomized dose, hence each column is equivalent to an incident dose \& not an arm/group. Patients randomized to either 10mg or 30mg could be titrated down to 5mg due to safety, or titrated up to 40mg, hence the 4 incident doses/columns that were allowed per protocol during this study.
Measured: Days 29, 57, 85, 113, 141, 169, 197, 225, 253, 281, 309, 337
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameter: Cmax
Pasireotide peak levels (Cmax) was one of the parameters used for PK assessments. Cmax is the post-dose PK concentration with an elapsed time from the previous injection of 21+/-2 days. All patients randomized to the study had at least one PK observation and were therefore included in the pharmacokinetic analysis set (PAS). Cmax PK observations ("Day 20" and "Day 104") with an elapsed time from the previous injection outside of 21+/-2 days window were excluded. Given that SOM230 LAR was administered once a month, the Cmax were collected every 28 days in this study, thus this provides a summary of Cmax values provided by incident dose (last dose administered prior to PK sample collection), not by randomized dose, hence each column is equivalent to an incident dose and not an arm/group. Patients randomized to either the 10mg or 30mg could be titrated down to 5mg due to safety, or titrated up to 40mg, hence the 4 incident doses/columns that were allowed per protocol during this study.
Measured: Days 22, 106, 190
Actual Change in Standardized Score of Cushing's Disease HRQoL (CushingQOL) Score From Baseline
CushingQol is a disease-specific patient-reported outcome instrument. It is a single-domain 12 item Cushing's disease quality of life instrument. The Cushing's syndrome quality of life (CushingQoL) questionnaire is a single domain questionnaire which includes 12 self-report items scored using a five point Likert scale anchored at (1=always/very much and 5=never/not at all). The patient is asked to report what they think or feel about their Cushing's syndrome and how much the illness has interfered in usual activities over the past 4 weeks. The total score is standardized on a 0-100 scale with lower scores indicating a greater impact on quality of life.
Measured: Months 7, 12, 24 & 36
Actual Change in SF-12v2 Score From Baseline - Mental Component Summary
SF-12v2 General Health Survey is a general patient reported outcome instrument over time. It is scored to provide eight health domain scores (Bodily Pain (BP), General Health (GH), Physical Functioning (PF), Role-Physical (RP), Social Functioning (SF), Role-Emotional (RE), Vitality (VT) and Mental Health (MH)). These eight domain scores can be combined to form two summary scores reflecting overall physical and mental health: the Physical Component Summary (PCS) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS). The analyses reported here focus on PCS and MCS scores. The domain scores use a norm-based score, which standardizes the scores with respect to the mean and standard deviation of a nationally representative sample of United States (US) adults. These are the scores on the original scale which have not been transformed in any way. The possible range of scores is 0 to 100, with higher scores representing better outcomes.

|---|---|---|
| pasireotide LARAlso: SOM230Pasireotide long-acting was administered as an intra-muscular depot intragluteal injection once every 28 days (±2 days). Patients were administered pasireotide long-acting 10 mg or 30 mg for four months, followed by either continuation of the starting dose, or dose up-titration (if mUFC was still >1.5xULN unless titration was precluded by safety reasons). | Drug | 10 mg LAR dose, 30 mg LAR dose |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing pasireotide LAR, SOM230 LAR 30 mg and SOM230 LAR 10 mg in people with Cushing's Disease, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 82 sites in 20 countries.
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 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 22 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 82 sites in United States, Japan, France, Belgium, Italy and 15 more countries. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Apr 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Percentage Participants That Attained a mUFC ≤ 1.0 x ULN at Month 7 Regardless of Dose Titration (time frame: Month 7). 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 NCT01374906, which also lists 5 linked publications.
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 22 May 2018.
