Brief summary
Octreotide capsule is a novel, orally-administered formulation of the commercially-available injectable drug octreotide. In a recent phase 3 trial (OPTMAL; NCT03252353), oral octreotide capsules demonstrated sustained biochemical response up to 13 months in patients with acromegaly previously managed with somatostatin analog injections (ref). The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy, safety, and patient reported outcomes (PROs) between oral octreotide capsules and injectable somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs).
Detailed description
This was phase 3, randomized, open-label, active controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the maintenance of response, safety and patient reported outcomes (PROs) in acromegaly patients treated with octreotide capsules and in patients treated with standard of care parenteral somatostatin receptor ligands (SRLs), who previously tolerated and demonstrated biochemical control on both treatments. The core study consisted of three phases: a Screening phase, Run-in phase and a Randomized Controlled Treatment (RCT) phase. Eligible patients who were biochemically controlled on parenteral SRLs were switched to octreotide capsules for a 26-week period Run-in phase. During this phase the effective dose for each patient was determined through dose titration. Patients whose acromegaly has been controlled biochemically on octreotide capsules at the end of the Run-in phase entered a 36-week open-label RCT phase, where they randomized to continue on octreotide capsules or switch back to their injectable SRL treatment (as received prior to Screening). Following the completion of the core study (Screening, Run-in and RCT phases), eligible patients were offered to enter the Study Extension phase and receive octreotide capsules until product marketing or study termination. A Sub-study, performed in selected non-European sites, allowed patients with inadequate biochemical control on octreotide capsules during the Run-in phase to enter a Combination phase and receive co-administration of octreotide capsules with cabergoline tablets for a total of 36 weeks.

| EuroQol - 5 Dimensions - 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Index Scores During the Run-in Phase | 26 weeks | Change from baselines in EQ-5D-5L Index scores in randomized participants during the Run-in phase. EQ-5D-5L (five severity levels EQ-5D) is a standardized instrument completed by the patient for use as a measure of health outcome applicable to a wide range of health conditions. It comprises 5 dimensions of health: mobility, ability to self care, ability to undertake usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression. Based on qualitative and quantitative studies conducted by the EuroQol Group, there are 5 levels under each domain: 'no problems' (assigned a value of 1), 'slight problems' (assigned a value of 2), 'moderate problems' (assigned a value of 3), 'severe problems' (assigned a value of 4), and 'unable to/extreme problems' (assigned a value of 5). An EQ-5D Index score is calculated based on the responses to these 5 dimensions of health. Weights for use in the index calculation are not universally available. Higher values represent better health states. |
| Change From Baseline to End of RCT Phase in WPAI | 26 weeks | Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire- RCT phase. WPAI:SHP is a standardized and validated PRO questionnaire to measure health outcomes in clinical trial settings. It measures time missed from work, impairment of work and regular activities due to overall health and symptoms, relative to measures of general health perceptions, role (physical), role (emotional), pain, symptom severity, and global measures of work and interference with regular activity. The WPAI yields 4 types of scores: (1) absenteeism (work time missed); (2) presenteeism (impairment at work/reduced on-the-job effectiveness); (3) work productivity loss (overall work impairment/absenteeism plus presenteeism); and (4) activity impairment. Each of the 4 WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity (i.e., worse outcomes). |

Each scale score can range from 0 to 100, with 0 representing the lowest (highest burden/lower satisfaction) and 100 representing the best possible score (lowest burden/highest satisfaction) for each of the 6 scales. Positive ACRO-TSQ change scores indicate improvement while negative change scores indicate worsening. |

Change From Baseline to End of RCT Phase in WPAI
Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire- RCT phase. WPAI:SHP is a standardized and validated PRO questionnaire to measure health outcomes in clinical trial settings. It measures time missed from work, impairment of work and regular activities due to overall health and symptoms, relative to measures of general health perceptions, role (physical), role (emotional), pain, symptom severity, and global measures of work and interference with regular activity. The WPAI yields 4 types of scores: (1) absenteeism (work time missed); (2) presenteeism (impairment at work/reduced on-the-job effectiveness); (3) work productivity loss (overall work impairment/absenteeism plus presenteeism); and (4) activity impairment. Each of the 4 WPAI outcomes are expressed as impairment percentages, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity (i.e., worse outcomes).

Change in Acromegaly Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (ACRO-TSQ) Scores From Baseline to End of Run-in in Randomized Patients.
Change in Acromegaly treatment satisfaction questionnaire (ACRO-TSQ) PRO questionnaire from baseline to end of Run-in phase in randomized patients. Acro-TSQ is a validated PRO tool assessing overall convenience and satisfaction with treatment and patient perception of symptomatic control and adverse drug. It includes 6 scales: Symptom Interference, (4 items); Treatment Convenience, (6 items); Injection Site Interference (2 items); GI Interference (3 items); Treatment Satisfaction, (3 items); and Emotional Reaction (3 items). Each scale score can range from 0 to 100, with 0 representing the lowest (highest burden/lower satisfaction) and 100 representing the best possible score (lowest burden/highest satisfaction) for each of the 6 scales. Positive Acro-TSQ change scores indicate improvement while negative change scores indicate worsening.

EuroQol - 5 Dimensions - 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) Index Scores During the Run-in Phase
Change from baselines in EQ-5D-5L Index scores in randomized participants during the Run-in phase. EQ-5D-5L (five severity levels EQ-5D) is a standardized instrument completed by the patient for use as a measure of health outcome applicable to a wide range of health conditions. It comprises 5 dimensions of health: mobility, ability to self care, ability to undertake usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety and depression. Based on qualitative and quantitative studies conducted by the EuroQol Group, there are 5 levels under each domain: 'no problems' (assigned a value of 1), 'slight problems' (assigned a value of 2), 'moderate problems' (assigned a value of 3), 'severe problems' (assigned a value of 4), and 'unable to/extreme problems' (assigned a value of 5). An EQ-5D Index score is calculated based on the responses to these 5 dimensions of health. Weights for use in the index calculation are not universally available. Higher values represent better health states.
