primary Outcomes
  1. description
    The primary objective of this study was to compare the percentage of patients achieving biochemical control (defined as mean GH levels \<2.5 µg/L and normalization of sex- and age- adjusted IGF-1) at 24 weeks with pasireotide LAR 40 mg and pasireotide LAR 60 mg separately versus continued treatment with octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide autogel (ATG) 120 mg. The primary efficacy variable is the proportion of patients with a reduction of mean GH levels to \< 2.5 µg/L and normalization of sex- and age-adjusted IGF-1 at 24 weeks.

secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    The percentage of patients achieving mean growth hormone (GH) levels \< 2.5 μg/L and normalization of sex and age-adjusted IGF-1 was calculated with two sided 95% confidence interval. All GH assessments were based on a 5-point mean growth hormone (GH) assessed from a 2-hour profile. Scheduled time points for blood sampling were pre-dose at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes. Total insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) levels were assessed with one pre-dose sample at the same visits as GH. Concomitant medication known to affect GH or IGF-1 levels were allowed in patients who were not biochemically controlled after at least one year treatment with pasireotide LAR monotherapy: dopamine agonists and growth hormone receptor antagonists (extension full analysis set)

  12. description
    Acromegaly Quality of Life questionnaire (AcroQoL) is a validated disease specific questionnaire. It contains 22 items divided into two scales: physical aspects (8 items) and psychological aspects (14 items) which is divided in two sub-scales: physical appearance and personal relationships of the patient (seven items each). The total score and sub-scores were calculated using the following formula: ((X -Y) / 4Y) x 100, X=sum of the scores for individual items (between 1 and 5 for each item), Y=number of individual items included in above sum (i.e. 22 for the total score, 8 for the physical sub-score, 14 for the psychological sub-score, 7 for the sub-score 'appearance' and 'personal relations'). The scoring of the questionnaire was performed as specified by the instrument developers. Total scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores represent better quality of life. If more than 25% of items are not completed, results were considered invalid.
