Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With a Reduction of Mean GH Levels to < 2.5 µg/L and Normalization of Sex- and Age-adjusted IGF-1.
The primary objective of this study was to compare the percentage of patients achieving biochemical control (defined as mean GH levels \<2.5 µg/L and normalization of sex- and age- adjusted IGF-1) at 24 weeks with pasireotide LAR 40 mg and pasireotide LAR 60 mg separately versus continued treatment with octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide autogel (ATG) 120 mg. The primary efficacy variable is the proportion of patients with a reduction of mean GH levels to \< 2.5 µg/L and normalization of sex- and age-adjusted IGF-1 at 24 weeks.
At 24 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (14)
Percentage of Patients With Mean GH < 2.5 μg/L and Normalization of IGF-1, Treated With Pasireotide LAR Alone or With Concomitant Medications Used to Treat Acromegaly (Extension Full Analysis Set)
Extension baseline up to approximately week 268
Percentage of Participants With Normalization of Sex- and Age-adjusted IGF-1treated With Pasireotide LAR Alone or With Concomitant Medications Used to Treat Acromegaly (Extension Full Analysis Set).
Extension baseline up to approximately week 268
Percentage of Patients With Mean GH < 2.5 μg/L Treated With Pasireotide LAR Alone or With Concomitant Medications Used to Treat Acromegaly (Extension Full Analysis Set)

Percentage of Patients With Mean GH < 1.0 μg/L and Normalization of IGF-1, Treated With Pasireotide LAR Alone or With Concomitant Medications Used to Treat Acromegaly (Extension Full Analysis Set)
Extension baseline up to approximately week 268
Percentage of Patients With Mean GH <1.0 μg/L Treated With Pasireotide LAR Alone or With Concomitant Medications Used to Treat Acromegaly (Extension Full Analysis Set)

Study Arms (3)
Pasireotide LAR 40 mg
EXPERIMENTALSupplied in blinded fashion as 20 and 40 mg powder in vials and 2 mL vehicle in ampoule (for reconstitution)
Pasireotide LAR 60 mg
EXPERIMENTALSupplied in blinded fashion as 20 and 40 mg powder in vials and 2 mL vehicle in ampoule (for reconstitution)
Control arm (octreotide or lanreotide)
ACTIVE COMPARATORIf a patient is randomized to the open label arm the investigator will either: * be instructed to contact a Novartis delegate to initiate shipment of either octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide ATG 120 mg from a Novartis or designee depot to the site, or * continue to dispense either octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide ATG 120 mg available at the institution to the patient if permitted by local regulations.
Interventions
* Double-blind pasireotide LAR 40 mg i.m. injection once every 28 ± 2 days for 24 weeks or * Double-blind pasireotide LAR 60 mg i.m. injection once every 28 ± 2 days for 24 weeks
In an open-label, active control arm, continue on the same treatment with octreotide LAR 30 mg every 28 ± 2 days as received for at least 6 months prior to randomization
In an open-label, active control arm, continue on the same treatment with lanreotide ATG 120 mg every 28 ± 2 days as received for at least 6 months prior to randomization
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with written informed consent prior to any study related activity
- Patients who had inadequately controlled acromegaly as defined by a mean GH concentration of a 5-point profile over a 2-hour period \> 2.5 µg/L and sex- and age-adjusted IGF-1 \> 1.3 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Patients who had been treated with maximum indicated doses of octreotide LAR or lanreotide ATG for at least 6 months prior to visit 1 (screening). The maximum indicated dose for octreotide LAR was 30mg and for lanreotide ATG iwas120 mg
- Patients who had a diagnosis of pituitary micro- or macro adenoma. Patients could have been previously submitted to surgery
- Patients who completed the 24-week treatment period in core according to the requirements of the core study protocol or corresponding amendments could enter extension
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who had received pasireotide (SOM 230) prior to enrolment
- Concomitant treatment with Growth Hormone Receptor (GHR)-antagonist or dopamine agonists unless concomitant treatment was discontinued 8 weeks prior to visit 1 (screening)(8 weeks wash out period). Such patients must have been treated with octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide ATG 120 mg monotherapy continuously for a minimum of 6 months prior to starting combination therapy and they should have been inadequately controlled on monotherapy.
- Patients who had compression of the optic chiasm causing acute clinically significant visual field defects
- Patients who required a surgical intervention for relief of any sign or symptom associated with tumor compression
- Patients who had received pituitary irradiation within 10 years prior to visit 1 (screening).
- Patients who had undergone major surgery/surgical therapy for any cause within 4 weeks prior to visit 1 (screening).
- Patients who were hypothyroid and not adequately treated with a stable dose of thyroid hormone replacement therapy
