About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial of SOM230 (Pasireotide LAR) In Severe Polycystic Liver Disease

The purpose of this study is to compare SOM230 treatment to placebo. The investigators will also assess the efficacy and safety of SOM230 in reducing total liver volume and improving quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Pasireotide (SOM230) is a novel multi-receptor-targeted analog that has high affinity for four of the five SST receptor subtypes (SSTr1, SSTr2, SSTr3 and SSTr5); it has a 40-fold higher affinity and 158-fold higher functional activity for the SST5 receptor than octreotide. Because of its broad receptor binding profile, pasireotide may be more potent in Polycystic Liver Disease (PLD) than octreotide. In this randomized double blind placebo controlled trial the investigators will compare SOM230 treatment to placebo for 12 months in patients with PLD. The primary endpoints will be assessed at 12 months and patients receiving placebo then crossed over to SOM230, permitting all participants to receive SOM230 for the subsequent two years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be used to assess liver volume - the primary endpoint, which will be assessed at baseline, end of years 1 and 3. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of SOM230 in reducing total liver volume and improving quality of life over 12 months. (The investigators will not be assessing efficacy at 24 months.) The therapy way be effective in PLD but also may prove to be effective for many more patients with Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which will be evaluated using eGFR and kidney volume using MRI.

The investigators plan to add other sub-sites in other locations.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Liver Volume

    Percent change was calculated for liver volumes using the equation=[(12 month value-baseline value)/baseline value]*100*12/12 month

    Measured: baseline , 12 month

  2. Change in Kidney Volume

    Percent change was calculated for kidney volumes using the equation=[(12 month value-baseline value)/baseline value]*100*12/12 month

    Measured: baseline to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage Change in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

    eGFR was measured using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation. This value at baseline and 12 months was used to calculate the percentage change by [12 month value-baseline value)/baseline value]*100

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months

  2. Percentage Change in Serum Creatinine

    Serum creatinine level at baseline and 12 months was used to calculate the percentage change by [12 month value-baseline value)/baseline value]*100

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months

  3. Percent Change in Blood Glucose

    Blood glucose (mg/dLb) level at baseline and 12 months was used to calculate the percentage change by [12 month value-baseline value)/baseline value]*100

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months

  4. Percentage Change in Hemoglobin A1C

    Hemoglobin A1C level at baseline and 12 months was used to calculate the percentage change by [12 month value-baseline value)/baseline value]*100

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months

  5. Percentage Change in Heart Rate

    Heart rate, measured in beats per minute (BPM), at baseline and 12 months was used to calculate the percentage change by [12 month value-baseline value)/baseline value]*100

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months

  6. Change in Quality of Life

    Measured using the SF-36 health survey, which consist of eight subscales each scored on a range of 0 to 100 (0=worst imaginable, 100=best imaginable). Change calculated from baseline = 12 month value-baseline value

    Measured: Baseline, 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pasireotide LAR in people with Somatostatin Analogs and Polycystic Liver Disease, run by Mayo Clinic 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 22 inclusion and 36 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 1 May 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Mar 2020). 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?

Change in Liver Volume (time frame: baseline , 12 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01670110, 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 1 May 2020.
