Brief summary

The objective of this surveillance is to collect information about 1) adverse drug reaction not expected from the LPD (unknown adverse drug reaction), 2) the incidence of adverse drug reactions in this surveillance, and 3)factors considered to affect the safety and/or efficacy of this drug.

Detailed description

All the patients whom an investigator prescribes the first Somavert (Pegvisomant) should be registered consecutively until the number of subjects reaches target number in order to extract patients enrolled into the investigation at random.

Interventions

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events for Participants With Renal Impairment5 yearsA treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician. Participants with treatment-related adverse events were counted by renal impairment to assess whether it was a risk factor for the occurrence of treatment-related adverse events.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events5 yearsA treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. A treatment-related serious adverse event was a treatment-related adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events Unexpected From Japanese Package Insert5 yearsA treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Expectedness of the adverse event was determined according to the Japanese package insert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events by Gender5 yearsA treatment-related adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Somavert in a participant who received Somavert. Relatedness to Somavert was assessed by the physician.

Clinical Effectiveness Rate

Clinical effectiveness rate, which was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved clinical effectiveness over the total number of assessable effectiveness analysis population, was presented. Clinical effectiveness of Somavert was assessed as effective, ineffective or unassessable by the physician. Overall effectiveness of Somavert was determined by the physician based on clinical symptoms, laboratory values, and other examinations such as ring size.

Time frame: 5 years

Population: The efficacy analysis set comprised of participants in the safety analysis set who had effectiveness evaluation (overall evaluation by the physician based upon change in clinical symptoms and laboratory findings) at least once. Participants evaluated as unassessable were excluded from the calculation.
