About this study
Official title: Phase II Study of Above-Label Octreotide-LAR in Patients With Insufficiently Controlled Carcinoid Syndrome
The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of high-dose octreotide on flushing, diarrhea, and quality of life in patients whose disease-related symptoms are inadequately controlled by the maximum approved dose of octreotide LAR.
Read the detailed description
The study population will consist of patients with advanced (metastatic or unresectable) neuroendocrine tumors with suboptimally controlled carcinoid syndrome. While the majority of patients will have primary tumors of the ileocecum (midgut), any serotonin-producing neuroendocrine tumors will be eligible (including pancreatic, lung and unknown primary).
All patients will be followed for adverse events and serious adverse events for 28 days following the last dose of above-label octreotide, or until resolution or stabilization of the event, whichever comes first.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Octreotide LARDrug
Also called Sandostatin LAR®
Octreotide LAR as outlined in Treatment Arm.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Octreotide Long-acting Release (LAR) | Experimental | Octreotide LAR will be administered at a dose of 60 mg intramuscularly (IM) every 4 weeks. Receives: Drug: Octreotide LAR |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Improved Frequency of Diarrhea
The frequencies of flushing, diarrhea, and carcinoid syndrome control rating (scale 1-5) will be measured and compared at week 0 and week 12 . These measurements will be compared using two-sided non-parametric paired Wilcoxon signed-rank.
Measured: At 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (1)
Rate of Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 6 Months
Progression-free survival, defined as rate of patients alive and free of progression from the date of first study treatment to the end of trial at 6 months. Progressive disease (PD): at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Measured: At 6 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Octreotide LAR in people with Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 10 inclusion and 17 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 12 Jan 2015. 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. 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 12 Jan 2015). 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?
Number of Participants With Improved Frequency of Diarrhea (time frame: At 12 weeks). 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 12 Jan 2015.
