Brief Title
An Extension Study to Assess the Long-Term Safety and Efficacy of Pasireotide in Participants With Acromegaly
Official Title
Extension to a Multi-Center, Randomized, Crossover, Open Label, Dose Finding Study to Compare the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) Relationship of Multiple Doses of Pasireotide (SOM230) (200, 400, and 600 μg Bid) and Doses of Open Label Sandostatin® (SMS) (100 μg Tid) in Acromegalic Patients
Brief Summary
Acromegaly is a rare, serious condition characterized by chronic hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), generally caused by a GH-secreting pituitary adenoma. The study assessed the long-term safety and efficacy of pasireotide in participants with acromegaly.

Study Arms / Comparison Groups
Pasireotide s.c. Overall
Description: Participants received pasireotide as a daily subcutaneous (s.c) injection, every 12 hours at 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM at the dose at which the biochemical control was achieved (either 200, 400, or 600 microgram (μg)) for as long as the participant benefited from the treatment, and there were no safety or tolerability concerns (median duration of 22.7 months).

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: - Participants who have completed all four treatment regimens in the core study CSOM230B2201 (NCT00088582) and achieved biochemical control in growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels after at least one month of pasireotide administration at any of the three doses. - Participants who did not experience any unacceptable adverse events or tolerability issues during the core study CSOM230B2201. Exclusion Criteria: - Participants who experienced or developed compression of the optic chiasm causing any visual field defect during the core study CSOM230B2201. - Participants who required a surgical intervention for relief of any sign or symptom associated with tumor compression during the core study CSOM230B2201. - Participants who experienced or developed congestive heart failure, unstable angina, sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation or acute myocardial infraction during the core study CSOM230B2201.
