About this study

Official title: Phase II, Multicentre, Randomized, Double-blind Study in Acromegalic Patients Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of a Single Deep Subcutaneous Administration of Lanreotide Autogel (60, 90 or 120mg) Versus Placebo Followed by a Single Blind Fixed Dose Phase Evaluating the Pharmacokinetic, Pharmacodynamic, Efficacy and Safety Profile of Multiple Deep Subcutaneous Administrations of Lanreotide Autogel (60, 90 & 120mg) Ending in Open Label Dose Titration Phase.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of lanreotide autogel to placebo after a single injection. Effectiveness and safety were then also assessed following four fixed-dose injections and after one year of treatment given at titrated doses.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Lanreotide (Autogel formulation) in people with Acromegaly, run by Ipsen at 29 sites in 8 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 3 inclusion and 6 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 2 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, France, Czechia, Germany, United Kingdom and 3 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 combined phase mean?

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

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 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?

Mean serum GH levels determined from serial measurements at screening, weeks 4, 13, 14, 15, 16, 32 & 52, and in the event of early withdrawal. 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 NCT00234572, 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 2 Aug 2019.
