In NET patients, mean injection pain over the first three injections was 2.4 ± 1.9 with octLAR versus 1.9 ± 1.5 with lanreotide (P = .5).
In plain wordsIn patients with NETs, injection pain did not differ significantly between lanreotide and octLAR.

No significant difference was identified in the mean pain score over the first three injections (2.4 ± 1.9 v 1.9 ± 1.5, P = .5).
2 context sentences(design, population, supporting numbers)
Randomized, single-blinded study. Patients with NETs received injections every 4 weeks. Arm 1: octLAR × 3, then lanreotide × 3; arm 2: reverse order.
Lanreotide is more expensive and given by deep subcutaneous injection, whereas octLAR is given intramuscularly.
