  1. 01HumanRandomized controlled trialEfficacy outcome

    In severe polycystic liver disease, annualized height-adjusted liver volume changed by -99±189 ml/m and -3%±7% with pasireotide (2582±1381 to 2479±1317 ml/m), versus 136±117 ml/m and 6%±7% with placebo (2387±759 to 2533±770 ml/m; P<0.001 for both).

    In plain wordsIn severe polycystic liver disease, liver volume decreased with pasireotide and increased with placebo.
