About this study

Official title: BackSOM Study: Qualitative Study in Gastro-enteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (GEP-NETs) and Acromegaly

Participants of this study are adults with GEP-NETs and/or acromegaly who were using the Ipsen lanreotide syringe and have transitioned in the last 6 months to the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe, having received at least two injections using the Pharmathen syringe.

GEP-NETs are abnormal growths that develop in the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, and pancreas. These tumors arise from special cells called neuroendocrine cells, which are found in these organs and release hormones to regulate various bodily functions. GEP-NETs can be slow-growing, and symptoms may vary depending on their location and size.

Acromegaly is a condition where a person's body produces too much growth hormone. This excess hormone can cause certain body parts, like the hands, feet, and face, to enlarge over time. It typically occurs because of a tumor on the pituitary gland in the brain, which is responsible for regulating hormones. Acromegaly can lead to various health issues if not treated, but medications or surgery can often help manage the condition.

Long-acting somatostatin analogs (LA-SSAs) are indicated for patients with Gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) and acromegaly who are not eligible for surgery or when surgery fails to achieve remission.

Data for this study will be collected after the treatment switch from the Ipsen lanreotide syringe to the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe has occurred, using one round of one-to-one qualitative telephone and/or videoconference interviews with patients. Interviews will last 45 minutes and be carried out in the local language of the participant's country.

The main aim of this study is to capture the patient experience of the Ipsen lanreotide syringe and their experience with the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe.

Gastro-enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, Acromegaly

What is being measured

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

  1. Qualitative interview: patients' injection experiences and satisfaction with the Ipsen lanreotide syringe and with the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe;

    Interview with a duration of 45 minutes.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after treatment switch

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Qualitative interview: patients' understanding of the reasons for the switch from the Ipsen lanreotide syringe to the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe

    Interview with a duration of 45 minutes.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after treatment switch

  2. Qualitative interview: patients' perceptions of the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe and of the previous Ipsen lanreotide syringe

    Interview with a duration of 45 minutes.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after treatment switch

  3. Qualitative interview: patients' preference for the Ipsen lanreotide syringe versus the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe

    Interview with a duration of 45 minutes.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after treatment switch

  4. Qualitative interview: experiences that are unique to patients who independently inject

    Interview with a duration of 45 minutes.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after treatment switch

  5. Qualitative interview: experiences that are unique to patients between disease indications

    Interview with a duration of 45 minutes.

    Measured: Up to 6 months after treatment switch

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastro-enteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor and Acromegaly, run by Ipsen 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 8 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2024. 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.

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?

Qualitative interview: patients' injection experiences and satisfaction with the Ipsen lanreotide syringe and with the Pharmathen lanreotide syringe; (time frame: Up to 6 months after treatment switch). 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 24 Dec 2024.
