Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Usage of subcutaneous octreotide required to control symptoms associated with carcinoid syndrome, measured as the percentage of days that subcutaneous octreotide is used as rescue medication during the 16-week double-blind phase of the study.	After Baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Proportion of patients who roll over into the open-label phase before completing the double-blind phase of the study	Number of patients who roll over into the open-label phase.
Frequency of flushing events (per day) during the 16-week double-blind phase of the study based on patient IVRS diary records	events (per day).
Usage of other rescue medications for diarrhea and/or flushing events (e.g., loperamide 2 mg tabs and/or tincture of opium), measured as the percentage of days that the medications were used as rescue medication during the 16 week double-blind phase of the study based on patient IVRS diary records	percentage of days that the medications were used as rescue medication
