Comparison of Oral Octreotide Capsules to Injectable Somatostatin Analogs in Acromegaly

Phase 3

Acromegaly

Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Octreotide capsule is a novel, orally-administered formulation of the commercially-available injectable drug octreotide. In a recent phase 3 trial (OPTMAL; NCT03252353), oral octreotide capsules demonstrated sustained biochemical response up to 13 months in patients with acromegaly previously managed with somatostatin analog injections (ref).

The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and patient reported outcomes (PROs) between oral octreotide capsules and injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs).

Detailed Description

This was phase 3, randomized, open-label, active controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the maintenance of response, safety and patient reported outcomes (PROs) in acromegaly patients treated with octreotide capsules and in patients treated with standard of care parenteral somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs), who previously tolerated and demonstrated biochemical control on both treatments.

The core study consisted of three phases: a Screening phase, Run-in phase and a Randomized Controlled Treatment (RCT) phase.

Eligible patients who were biochemically controlled on parenteral SRLs were switched to octreotide capsules for a 26-week period Run-in phase. During this phase the effective dose for each patient was determined through dose titration.

Patients whose acromegaly has been controlled biochemically on octreotide capsules at the end of the Run-in phase entered a 36-week open-label RCT phase, where they randomized to continue on octreotide capsules or switch back to their injectable SRL treatment (as received prior to Screening).

Following the completion of the core study (Screening, Run-in and RCT phases), eligible patients were offered to enter the Study Extension phase and receive octreotide capsules until product marketing or study termination.

A Sub-study, performed in selected non-European sites, allowed patients with inadequate biochemical control on octreotide capsules during the Run-in phase to enter a Combination phase and receive co-administration of octreotide capsules with cabergoline tablets for a total of 36 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of Patients Who Are Biochemically Controlled Throughout the RCT Phase62 weeks

Proportion of patients who are biochemically controlled throughout the RCT phase. A patient was considered biochemically controlled if IGF-1 Time Weighted Average (TWA) during the RCT phase is \<1.3 ULN

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Proportion of Patients With Clinical and Biochemical Control at the End of the RCT PhaseWeek 62/ End of treatment; EOT

Proportion of patients with clinical and biochemical control at the end of the RCT phase. Patients were considered biochemically and clinically controlled if they met both of the following criteria:

* Their IGF-1 TWA during the RCT phase was \<1.3 times ULN

* Their AIS score at week 62/EOT was maintained or reduced compared to week 26 (start of RCT phase)

Proportion of Patients Who Maintain or Reduce the Overall Number of Active Acromegaly Symptoms at the End of the RCT Phase62 weeks

Proportion of patients who maintain or reduce the overall number of active acromegaly symptoms at the end of the RCT phase (week 62/ EOT) , compared to week 26 (start of the RCT phase

Proportion of Patients Who Maintain or Improve Their Overall Acromegaly Index of Severity (AIS) Score at the End of the RCT Phase62 weeks

Proportion of patients who maintain or improve their overall Acromegaly index of severity (AIS) score at the end of the RCT phase (improvement defined as a reduction of at least one point in the AIS score), compared to week 26 (start of the RCT phase)

Proportion of Patients of Those Completing the RCT Phase Who Entered the Study Extension Phase62 weeks

Proportion of patients of those completing the RCT phase (at a time octreotide capsules were not commercially available at the specific country), who entered the Study Extension phase, overall and by treatment group

Change in IGF-1 Levels in the RCT PhaseChange from Week 26 to week 62

Change in IGF-1 levels from the start of the randomized phase to the end of RCT phase.

Complete Responder (CR) is defined as IGF-1 ≤ 1 x ULN; Partial Responder (PR) is defined as 1 x ULN \< IGF-1 \< 1.3 x ULN, and Non-Responder (NR): IGF-1 ≥ 1.3 x ULN

Change in GH Levels in the RCT PhaseChange from Week 26 to week 62

Change in GH levels from the start of the randomized phase through the end of RCT phase.
