Study of Pasireotide in Patients With Rare Tumors of Neuroendocrine Origin

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

primary · POSTED

The primary efficacy endpoint was defined as the percentage of responders at Month 6 among pooled PNET patients (insulinoma, gastrinoma, VIPoma, and glucagonoma). A responder was defined as a patient who either attained normalization or had a greater than 50% reduction from baseline of the level of the primary biochemical tumor marker at Month 6 (M6). Four insulinoma pts were excluded from analysis because of unavailability of normal ranges for the associated primary biochemical tumor marker (insulin-to-glucose ratio). One patient with VIPoma with a normal baseline was also excluded. As a result, only 20 out of 25 patients with PNET were included in the assessment of the primary endpoint, which was less than the planned sample size of 34. Therefore, the primary objective could not be assessed with sufficient power. Patients with missing Month 6 assessment were considered as non-responders. Responder analyses are reported only for indications with minimum of 6 patients.

The efficacy analyzable set included all enrolled patients who received at least one dose of pasireotide LAR and had indication-specific baseline primary biochemical tumor marker levels \>ULN. Patients with baseline primary biochemical tumor marker levels either missing at baseline or missing ULN or baseline value ≤ ULN were excluded.

secondary · POSTED

Percentage of responders for each of the 10 NET indications considered in the study. Responder analyses were performed for an indication only if there were at least 6 patients in the efficacy analyzable set. For all other individual indications, the numbers of patients in the efficacy analyzable sets were less than 6 and therefore no responder analyses were carried out for these indications.

The efficacy analyzable set included all enrolled patients who received at least one dose of pasireotide LAR and had indication-specific baseline primary biochemical tumor marker levels \>ULN.

For all other individual indications, the numbers of patients in the efficacy analyzable sets were less than 6 and therefore no responder analyses were carried out for these indications. The probability of success was a chance that the true responder rate was greater than 15%) for the indications gastrinoma, prolactinoma, and Nelson's syndrome.

secondary · POSTED

Specific primary biochemical tumor markers were used to assess the efficacy of pasireotide in PNETs. A Month 6 responder was defined as the patients who either attained normalization or greater than 50% reduction from baseline in the level of the primary biochemical tumor marker at Month 6. One gastrinoma patient had a missing primary tumor marker value at Month 6, but had a Month 5 assessment done on Day 141, which fell within the allowed window period for Month 6.

The efficacy analyzable set included all enrolled patients who received at least one dose of pasireotide LAR and had indication-specific baseline primary biochemical tumor marker levels \>ULN. Responder analysis are reported only for indications with minimum of 6 patients. Patients with missing Month 6 assessment were considered as non-responders.
