Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The primary aim of this study is to assess which method of lanreotide Autogel administration patients with neuroendocrine tumours prefer - self/partner administrations or healthcare provided administrations. The study will also assess if self/partner administration can be performed without loss of efficacy and with a preserved safety profile. The impact of self/partner administration on resource utilisation and costs will be studied. In addition, we will also assess the healthcare provider's experience of the two administration practices.

Primary outcomes1

Outcomes the sponsor listed as primary.

  1. Subject Preference for Self or Partner Administration

    Time frame · Between week 30 to 34

    Registry description

    A global question was asked: 'If you could choose, which administration method would you like to use on a regular basis?' A) Healthcare professional provided injection B) Self/ partner administered injection

Secondary outcomes(9)
  1. Number of Patients Stating at Least One Injection Interfered With Daily Activities

    Time frame · Between baseline to week 32, after each injection (8-9 injections)

    Registry description

    The subject was asked: 'Does the treatment administration used today interfere with your daily activities?'

  2. Number of Patients Stating at Least One Injection Negatively Interfered With Psychological Wellbeing

    Time frame · Between baseline to week 32, after each injection (8-9 injections)

    Registry description

    The subject was asked: 'Does the treatment administration used today negatively interfere with your psychological wellbeing?'

  3. Days Sick Leave

    Time frame · Group 1 - between week 8 to 20 (self or partner administration), between week 20 to 32 (HCP administration). Group 2 - between week 20 to 32 (self or partner administration), between week 0 to week 12 (HCP administration)

    Registry description

    Health care and patient costs associated with the treatment of carcinoid symptoms in subjects treated with lanreotide Autogel were assessed through recording loss of production for subject through total number of days sick leave of the employed patients (n=6).

  4. Total Number of Visits to HCP Due to Carcinoid Symptoms

    Time frame · Group 1 - between week 8 to 20 (self or partner administration), between week 20 to 32 (HCP administration). Group 2 - between week 20 to 32 (self or partner administration), between week 0 to week 12 (HCP administration)

    Registry description

    Health care and patient costs associated with the treatment of carcinoid symptoms in subjects treated with lanreotide Autogel were assessed by recording the total number of visits made by participants (n=12) to HCP due to carcinoid symptoms.

  5. Perceived Symptom Control Evaluation in Respect to Episodes of Flushing

    Time frame · Group 1 - baseline, week 16 to 20 (self or partner administration) and week 30 to 34 (HCP administration). Group 2 - baseline, week 12 (HCP administration) and week 30 (self or partner administration).

    Registry description

    Participants were asked how they perceived the symptoms in respect to episodes of flushing since the last injection. Participants included in the study were previously treated with lanreotide Autogel and therefore the assessment at baseline was made in comparison to their previous injection outside of the study protocol.

  6. Perceived Symptom Control Evaluation in Respect to Episodes of Diarrhoea

    Time frame · Group 1 - baseline, week 16 to 20 (self or partner administration) and week 30 to 34 (HCP administration). Group 2 - baseline, week 12 to 16 (HCP administration) and week 30 to 34 (self or partner administration).

    Registry description

    Participants were asked how they perceived the symptoms in respect to episodes of diarrhoea since the last injection. Participants included in the study were previously treated with lanreotide autogel and therefore the assessment at baseline was made in comparison to previous injection outside of the study protocol.

  7. Chromogranin A Levels

    Time frame · Group 1 - Baseline, week 16 to 20 and 30 to 34. Group 2 - Baseline, week 12 and 30 to 34.

    Registry description

    Biochemical control was assessed by analysing chromogranin A levels at each site visit, which was mandatory for all subjects. 'Before self or partner administration' was assessed at baseline for group 1 and at week 12 for group 2. 'After self or partner administration' was assessed at week 16 to 20 for group 1 and at week 12 for group 2. 'Before HCP administration' was assessed at week 16 to 20 for group 1 and at baseline for group 2. 'After HCP administration' was assessed at week 30 to 34 for group 1 and week 12 for group 2.

  8. 5-hydroxyindoleacetic Acid (5-HIAA) Levels

    Time frame · Group 1 - Baseline, week 16 to 20 and 30 to 34. Group 2 - Baseline, week 12 and 30 to 34.

    Registry description

    Biochemical control was assessed by analysing 5-HIAA levels at each site visit, which was judged as necessary by the investigator at each site. 'Before self or partner administration' was assessed at baseline for group 1 and at week 12 for group 2. 'After self or partner administration' was assessed at week 16 to 20 for group 1 and at week 12 for group 2. 'Before HCP administration' was assessed at week 16 to 20 for group 1 and at baseline for group 2. 'After HCP administration' was assessed at week 30 to 34 for group 1 and week 12 for group 2.

  9. Healthcare Professionals With Positive Response to Specified Questions on Self or Partner Administration Method

    Time frame · Between week 30 to 34

    Registry description

    Assessed by the number of HCP with a positive response 'yes' to two questions: 1. Based on your experience during this trial, did you feel confident in the safety of your patients? 2. Based on your experience during this trial, would you recommend suitable patients to try self or partner administration?
