Brief Title
Study of Management of Pasireotide-induced Hyperglycemia in Adult Patients With Cushing's Disease or Acromegaly
Official Title
A Multi-center, Randomized, Open-label, Phase IV Study to Investigate the Management of Pasireotide-induced Hyperglycemia With Incretin Based Therapy or Insulin in Adult Patients With Cushing's Disease or Acromegaly
Brief Summary
The study was designed to investigate the optimal management of hyperglycemia developed during pasireotide treatment in participants with Cushing's disease or Acromegaly, which was not manageable with metformin. This was a Phase IV, multi-center, randomized, open-label study. Eligible patients started pasireotide subcutaneously (s.c.) for Cushing's disease and pasireotide LAR (long-acting release) for Acromegaly. Participants being treated with pasireotide s.c or LAR at screening were eligible as long as they met protocol criteria during the screening period. If previously normo-glycemic participants experienced an increase in their fasting blood glucose and met the criteria for diabetes while on pasireotide, they started anti-diabetic treatment using metformin. If they continued to have elevated blood glucose above target on metformin within the first 16 weeks, they were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive treatment with incretin based therapy or insulin for approximately 16 weeks. Participants who continued to receive clinical benefit after completing the Core Phase could enter an optional Extension Phase if pasireotide was not commercially available in their country or a local access program was not available to provide drug. Patients continued in the Extension Phase until the last participant randomized in the Core Phase completed 16 weeks of treatment post-randomization.
Study Phase
Phase 4
Study Type
Interventional
Primary Outcome
Change in HbA1c From Randomization to Approximately 16 Weeks
Secondary Outcome
Change in HbA1c From Randomization (R) Over Time Per Randomized Arm
Condition
Cushing's Disease
Intervention
Pasireotide s.c.
Study Arms / Comparison Groups
Incretin based therapy (randomized group)
Description: Participants randomized to the incretin based arm started with sitagliptin once daily. If sitagliptin did not control the participant's hyperglycemia, sitagliptin was stopped and participants switched to liraglutide once daily. If despite treatment with liraglutide, hyperglycemia was not controlled then the participant was eligible for rescue therapy with addition of insulin.
