Outcome results
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time from randomization to first documentation of disease progression, or death. Disease progression centrally assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.0
Time frame: From randomisation up to the last tumour assessment (scheduled at 96 weeks). Radiological scans were performed every 12 weeks during the first year and every 24 weeks during the second year
Population: Analysis based on the intent-to-treat (ITT) population which comprised 204 randomised subjects.

| Lanreotide (Autogel Formulation) | Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | NA Weeks |
| Placebo | Progression-Free Survival (PFS) | 72 Weeks |
Change in the Global Health Status Quality of Life Assessment
Transformed scores from European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire responses (QLQ)-C30. Questionnaire response scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate best possible Quality of Life.
