About this study

The study consisted of 2 periods, a Core Treatment Period of up to 7 months and an optional Extension Treatment Period of up to 6 months, for a total study duration of up to 13 months. The Core Treatment Period consisted of 2 phases, a Dose Escalation Phase of at least 2 months to identify the therapeutic dose for each study participant and a Fixed Dose Phase of 2 to 5 months during which the therapeutic dose was maintained.

Participants were eligible to enter the Fixed Dose Phase of the Core Treatment Period if they were clinically and biochemically controlled. The same criteria were used to allow entry into the voluntary 6-month Extension Treatment Period.

The Core Treatment Period of the study was completed if the participant had at least 2 months of treatment in the Fixed Dose Phase and a total treatment duration of at least 7 months. Participants who elected to continue into the Extension Treatment Period maintained their therapeutic dose during this period. At the end of the study (after the last dose of MYCAPSSA in either the Core Treatment Period or the Extension Treatment Period), there was a 2-week follow-up period for safety assessments.

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Responders at the End of the Core Treatment Period

    Time frame: End of the core treatment period (up to 7 months)

    A responder was defined as a participant with a serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentration < 1.3 times the upper limit of normal (adjusted for age and gender) and a growth hormone (GH) concentration < 2.5 ng/mL. The growth hormone concentration was the mean of 5 fasted GH serum concentrations collected at 30 minute intervals for 2 hours, 2 to 4 hours post-octreotide dose. IGF-1 concentration was determined in serum samples taken at the same visits GH concentration was assessed.

  2. Percentage of Responders at the End of the Extension Treatment Period

    Time frame: End of the extension treatment period (up to 13 months)

    A responder was defined as a participant with a serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentration < 1.3 times the upper limit of normal (adjusted for age and gender) and a growth hormone (GH) concentration < 2.5 ng/mL. The growth hormone concentration was the mean of 5 fasted GH serum concentrations collected at 30 minute intervals for 2 hours, 2 to 4 hours post-octreotide dose. IGF-1 concentration was determined in serum samples taken at the same visits GH concentration was assessed.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Specified IGF-1 and GH Concentrations at Baseline and at the End of the Core Treatment Period

    Time frame: Baseline and the end of the core treatment period (up to 7 months)

    Percentage of participants with the following serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and growth hormone (GH) concentrations at Baseline and at the end of the core treatment period (ECTP): IGF-1 < 1.3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and GH < 5.0 ng/mL, IGF-1 < 1.3 times ULN and GH < 1.0 ng/mL, IGF-1 ≤ 1.0 times ULN and GH < 5.0 ng/mL, IGF-1 ≤ 1.0 times ULN and GH < 2.5 ng/mL, IGF-1 ≤ 1.0 times ULN and GH < 1.0 ng/mL, IGF-1 < 1.3 times ULN, IGF-1 ≤ 1.0 times ULN, GH < 5.0 ng/mL, GH < 2.5 ng/mL, GH < 1.0 ng/mL, IGF-1 ≥ 1.3 times ULN and GH < 2.5 ng/mL, IGF-1 < 1.3 times ULN and GH ≥ 2.5 ng/mL, and IGF-1 ≥ 1.3 times ULN and GH ≥ 2.5 ng/mL. The growth hormone concentration was the mean of 5 fasted GH serum concentrations collected at 30 minute intervals for 2 hours, 2 to 4 hours post-octreotide dose. IGF-1 concentration was determined in serum samples taken at the same visits GH concentration was assessed.

  2. Maintenance of Response During the Fixed Dose Phase of the Core Treatment Period

    Time frame: Beginning of the fixed dose phase of the core treatment period and the end of the core treatment period (up to 7 months)

    Maintenance of response during the fixed dose phase of the core treatment period was defined as the percentage of participants with an insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentration < 1.3 times the upper limit of normal at the beginning of the fixed dose phase of the core treatment period and at the end of the core treatment period. IGF-1 concentration was determined in serum samples taken at the same visits growth hormone concentration was assessed.
