Study design and patient population information
CLARINET: A Phase 3 trial of an SSA powered for PFS and one of the largest studies of the antitumor effect in patients with GEP-NETs^1,2

The majority (84%) of patients in CLARINET had not received prior pharmacologic therapy for GEP-NETs. Some patients (16%) received prior therapy.²

Patients were excluded if they received:²

An SSA at any time, unless they received it >6 months prior to study entry and for <15 days
Interferon, chemoembolization, or chemotherapy: <6 months prior to study entry

*CLARINET=Controlled Study of Lanreotide Antiproliferative Response In NeuroEndocrine Tumors.²

^†Administered every 28 days by deep subcutaneous injection. Follow-up visits occurred at Weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 72, 96.²

^‡Assessed by a central independent radiological review in accordance with the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.0.^1,2

Disease characteristics

Progression-free survival studied in a comprehensive and robust patient population²

CLARINET trial included patients with unresectable, well- to moderately differentiated, locally advanced or metastatic GEP-NETs, a range of hepatic tumor loads, and varying primary tumor locations (pancreas, midgut, or hindgut).²

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION & INDICATIONS

Contraindications

SOMATULINE DEPOT is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to lanreotide. Allergic reactions (including angioedema and anaphylaxis) have been reported following administration of lanreotide.

Warnings and Precautions

Cholelithiasis and Gallbladder Sludge

SOMATULINE DEPOT may reduce gallbladder motility and lead to gallstone formation.
Periodic monitoring may be needed.
If complications of cholelithiasis are suspected, discontinue SOMATULINE DEPOT and treat appropriately.

Hypoglycemia or Hyperglycemia

Patients treated with SOMATULINE DEPOT may experience hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Blood glucose levels should be monitored when SOMATULINE DEPOT treatment is initiated, or when the dose is altered, and antidiabetic treatment should be adjusted accordingly.

Cardiovascular Abnormalities

SOMATULINE DEPOT may decrease heart rate.
In patients without underlying cardiac disease, SOMATULINE DEPOT may lead to a decrease in heart rate without necessarily reaching the threshold of bradycardia.
In patients suffering from cardiac disorders prior to treatment, sinus bradycardia may occur. Care should be taken when initiating treatment in patients with bradycardia.

Steatorrhea and Malabsorption of Dietary Fats

New onset steatorrhea, stool discoloration and loose stools have been reported in patients receiving somatostatin analogs, including SOMATULINE DEPOT. Somatostatin analogs reversibly inhibit secretion of pancreatic enzymes and bile acids, which may result in malabsorption of dietary fats and subsequent symptoms of steatorrhea, loose stools, abdominal bloating, and weight loss.
If new occurrence or worsening of these symptoms are reported in patients receiving SOMATULINE DEPOT, evaluate patients for potential pancreatic exocrine insufficiency and manage accordingly.

Most Common Adverse Reactions

GEP-NETs: Adverse reactions in >10% of patients who received SOMATULINE DEPOT were abdominal pain (34%), musculoskeletal pain (19%), vomiting (19%), headache (16%), injection site reaction (15%), hyperglycemia (14%), hypertension (14%), and cholelithiasis (14%).

Carcinoid Syndrome: Adverse reactions occurring in the carcinoid syndrome trial were generally similar to those in the GEP-NET trial. Adverse reactions in ≥5% of patients who received SOMATULINE DEPOT and at least 5% greater than placebo were headache (12%), dizziness (7%) and muscle spasm (5%).

Drug Interactions

SOMATULINE DEPOT may decrease the absorption of cyclosporine (dosage adjustment may be needed); increase the absorption of bromocriptine; and require dosage adjustment for bradycardia-inducing drugs (e.g., beta-blockers).

Special Populations

Lactation: Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 6 months after the last dose.

INDICATIONS

SOMATULINE^® DEPOT (lanreotide) is a somatostatin analog indicated for: the treatment of adult patients with unresectable, well- or moderately-differentiated, locally advanced or metastatic gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) to improve progression-free survival; and

the treatment of adults with carcinoid syndrome; when used, it reduces the frequency of short-acting somatostatin analog rescue therapy.
