Conditions: Non Functioning Entero-pancreatic Endocrine Tumour
Keywords: Lanreotide Somatuline Neuroendocrine tumour NET
Allocation: NA | Intervention model: SINGLE_GROUP
Enrollment: 89
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The primary purpose of this extension study was to assess the long term safety of patients with nonfunctioning enteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumour (NET), who were treated with open label lanreotide Autogel (120 mg every 28 days) and who participated in a previous study, 2-55-52030-726 (NCT00353496).

Detailed description:
While somatostatin analogue treatment is the primary medical therapy for patients with hormone related symptoms and is indicated for the treatment of hormone related symptoms in many international countries, there is no reference standard medical therapy for asymptomatic patients. A 96-week study (Study 2-55-52030-726 (726), NCT00353496) was conducted to investigate the effect of lanreotide Autogel on progression free survival (PFS) in patients with well or moderately differentiated nonfunctioning enteropancreatic NET. While Study 726 was ongoing, the sponsor considered that therapy with lanreotide Autogel should continue to be an option to patients with stable disease at the end of the 96-week treatment period. This extension study was therefore initiated (Study 2-55-52030-729 (729)) which investigated the long term safety of treatment with lanreotide Autogel and enabled investigators to continue to treat their patients who had stable disease, as well as to treat placebo patients who experienced disease progression during the initial 96-week study (Study 726).

Arms:
arm 1: Patients from the preceding DB study (Study 726) were treated with open label lanreotide Autogel 120 mg by deep subcutaneous injections every 28 days. Patients were included if they had been treated with lanreotide (Autogel formulation) or placebo in DB Study 726 and had stable disease at the end of the 96-week treatment period, or if they had received placebo and had disease progression at any time during Study 726. Safety data were based on the safety population patients who received lanreotide in Study 729). The main efficacy analysis was based on the ITT population (patients randomised in Study 726 regardless of whether they continued into Study 729).

Interventions: intervention 1: lanreotide (Autogel formulation)
