NCT03946527

Brief Summary

The objectives of this study are:

  • To assess the efficacy of lanreotide given every 4 weeks in participants with advanced or metastatic paraganglioma/ pheochromocytoma.
  • To assess the toxicity and safety of lanreotide in participants with advanced or metastatic paraganglioma/ pheochromocytoma.
  • To document the effects of lanreotide on markers of biochemical activity in participants with advanced or metastatic paraganglioma/ pheochromocytoma. Primary endpoints:
  • Assess efficacy by estimating the tumor growth rate while a patient is enrolled on study and comparing the growth rates on lanreotide to the pre-enrolment growth rate. Secondary endpoints include measurement of:
  • Overall survival (OS)
  • Progression-free survival (PFS)
  • Overall response rate (ORR) according to RECIST defined as partial response (PR) + complete response (CR)
  • Magnitude of reduction in levels of 24-hour urinary metanephrines, catecholamines and magnitude of reduction in serum chromogranin A, evaluated every two months while enrolled on study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of tumor growth

    Efficacy will be assessed by measuring the tumor growth rate while a patient is enrolled on study and comparing the growth rates on lanreotide to the pre-enrollment growth rates. Tumor growth measured by a CT or MRI scan in pre-treatment, and minimum of three scans (prior to every 3rd visit, or every 12 weeks) in post-treatment.

    minimum of 32 weeks, up to 48 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Overall survival (OS)

    Observed for 48 weeks (start of treatment to end of treatment).

  • Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Minimum of 8 weeks, up to 48 weeks.

  • Progression-free survival

    Up to 48 weeks.

  • Magnitude of change in analyte levels

    Minimum of 16 weeks, up to 48 weeks.

Study Arms (1)

lanreotide arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients with a histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of malignant paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma and either evidence of metastases or unresectability who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Approximately 40 patients will be enrolled.

Drug: Lanreotide

Interventions

Participants will receive lanreotide 120 mg deep subcutaneous injection every 4 weeks (±7 days) for 52 weeks, followed by an extension phase in which all patients will continue to receive lanreotide 120 mg injection every 4 weeks (±7 days) if there is no evidence of disease progression.

Also known as: Somatuline Depot
lanreotide arm

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male or female at least 18 years of age at the time of first dosing
  • Patients must give signed informed consent before any study-related activities are conducted.
  • Patients in the United States must have given written authorization for the release of protected health information in compliance with HIPAA regulations; patients in other countries must provide appropriate authorization as needed by regulatory authorities in each country.
  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of malignant paraganglioma or pheochromocytoma and either evidence of metastases or unresectability.
  • Evidence of recent disease progression (radiological, biochemical, symptomatic) while the patient was either not receiving any therapy or was receiving a therapy that was deemed ineffective.
  • Measurable disease defined as that which can be measured in at least one dimension with a minimum size of 10 mm by CT scan. The patient must also have at least three baseline radiographic studies obtained in the previous twelve months with at least one scan obtained within six weeks of enrollment. If a patient being considered for enrollment on trial has not had three scans performed in the twelve months prior to enrollment and if in the opinion of the investigator a delay of one month will not impact the clinical course, then enrollment on protocol and the start of the lanreotide therapy can be delayed by one month or longer to obtain the additional time point. If in the opinion of the investigator such a delay may have adverse consequences then enrollment on the protocol should not be considered as an option
  • Confirmation of positive somatostatin receptor status (SRS) by Somatostatin Receptor Scintigraphy. Either of these studies will need to have been performed in the 6 months prior to the screening visit. Only if one has not been performed within the previous 6 months will a SRS study be required. if an SRS is required, it will be performed greater than or equal to 24 hours after a previous injection of subcutaneous octreotide).
  • Patients may not have had prior octreotide, long acting release (LAR)-octreotide, lanreotide or a therapeutic radiolabeled somatostatin analog (PRRT)
