Lanreotide as a 100-microg/h infusion for 8 hours was bioequivalent with lanreotide as an 800-microg bolus injection (mean area under the plasma concentration-time curve [AUC] extrapolated to infinity [AUC( infinity )], 1844.3 ng.min/L versus 1971.0 ng.min/L; AUC(infinity) ratios, 0.99; confidence interval, 0.95-1.02)

Twelve healthy subjects (6 men and 6 women) were studied in a double-blind, double-dummy, randomized, crossover study.
After a baseline period of 60 minutes, each subject received either a placebo bolus injection and an intravenous infusion of 100 microg/h lanreotide over a period of 8 hours or a placebo infusion over a period of 8 hours and an 800-microg lanreotide bolus injection.
