Study summary

What the protocol is testing.

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.

Interventions

Treatment arms and agents.

DRUG

Pasireotide s.c.

Administered to Cushing's disease participants.

DRUG

Sitagliptin

Taken for approximately 16 weeks during the core study phase or until the drug was found not to be effective

DRUG

Liraglutide

Participant switched to liraglutide if sitagliptin was found not to be effective.

DRUG

Insulin

Participant took insulin for 16 weeks. Insulin was also administered as rescue therapy in the incretin-based therapy arm if required. Insulin was administered to the BL-insulin group at the discretion of the Principal Investigator. Note: OAD and No OAD groups within the non-randomized arm did not take Insulin.

DRUG

Pasireotide LAR

Administered to Acromegaly participants.

DRUG

Metformin

If previously normo-glycemic participants experienced increase in their fasting blood glucose and meeting the criteria for diabetes while on pasireotide, they started anti-diabetic treatment using metformin. If they continued to experience increase in their fasting blood glucose 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. Metformin treatment was not required for the BL Insulin and OAD groups, within the non-randomized arm, but may have been prescribed at the discretion of the investigator. Note: No OAD group within the non-randomized arm did not take metformin.

Outcomes

What the study measures.

Primary outcomes

Change in HbA1c From Randomization to Approximately 16 Weeks

Time frame · Randomization, 16 weeks

Absolute change in HbA1c from randomization to end of core phase (16 weeks) in incretin based therapy arm and insulin arm, and mean difference of change in HbA1c between the two treatment groups based on an ANOVA model using treatment (Incretin, Insulin) and the two randomization stratification factors (Disease: Cushing's disease vs Acromegaly; Baseline glycemic status: HbA1c \<7% vs HbA1c ≥ 7%) as fixed effects. For Participants who discontinued the study or required rescue treatment before the time of assessing the primary endpoint, the last HbA1c assessment collected 8 weeks (56 days) after randomization (and prior to or on the date of start of rescue treatment) was carried forward. If the participant discontinued the study or used rescue treatment within 8 weeks after randomization, it was considered missing.

Secondary outcomes

Change in HbA1c From Randomization (R) Over Time Per Randomized Arm

Time frame · Randomization (R), Week (W) 4 post R, W 8 post R, W 16 post R, end of Core phase (up to week 16 post R)

Absolute change in HbA1c overtime from randomization (i.e. start of randomized antidiabetic treatment) to end of core phase per randomized arm

Change in FPG (Fasting Plasma Glucose) From Randomization Until End of Core Phase

Time frame · Randomization, R(randomization) Week 2, R-Week 4, R-Week 6, R-Week 8, R-Week 10, R-Week 12, R-Week 14, R-Week 16, end of Core phase

Absolute change in fasting glucose overtime from randomization (i.e. start of randomized antidiabetic treatment) to end of core phase per randomized arm

Percentage of Participants in the Incretin-based Arm Who Required Anti-diabetic Rescue Therapy With Insulin

Time frame · Randomization to up to 16 weeks

The percentage of participants who received anti-diabetic rescue therapy in incretin based therapy is summarized.

Absolute Change in HbA1c From Baseline to End of Core Phase

Time frame · Baseline, up to 32 weeks (end of Core phase)

Absolute change in HbA1c from baseline to end of core phase in the incretin based therapy arm and the insulin arm

Absolute Change in FPG From Baseline to End of Core Phase

Time frame · Baseline, Up to 32 weeks (end of Core Phase)

Absolute change in FPG from baseline to end of core phase in the incretin based therapy arm and the insulin arm.

Percentage of Participants With ≤ 0.3% HbA1c Increase to End of Core Phase

Time frame · Randomization, up to 16 weeks

Percentage of participants with ≤ 0.3% HbA1c increase in the incretin based therapy arm and the insulin arm.
