LAnreotide in Metastatic Pheochromocytoma / PARAganglioma (LAMPARA)
brief summary
The objectives of this study are: * To assess the efficacy of lanreotide given every 4 weeks in participants with advanced or metastatic paraganglioma/ pheochromocytoma. * To assess the toxicity and safety of lanreotide in participants with advanced or metastatic paraganglioma/ pheochromocytoma. * To document the effects of lanreotide on markers of biochemical activity in participants with advanced or metastatic paraganglioma/ pheochromocytoma. Primary endpoints: • Assess efficacy by estimating the tumor growth rate while a patient is enrolled on study and comparing the growth rates on lanreotide to the pre-enrolment growth rate. Secondary endpoints include measurement of: * Overall survival (OS) * Progression-free survival (PFS) * Overall response rate (ORR) according to RECIST defined as partial response (PR) + complete response (CR) * Magnitude of reduction in levels of 24-hour urinary metanephrines, catecholamines and magnitude of reduction in serum chromogranin A, evaluated every two months while enrolled on study.
detailed description
Lanreotide is FDA approved for certain kinds of neuroendocrine tumors. This study seeks to determine if lanreotide is beneficial for patients with paraganglioma/ pheochromocytoma.
Given the rarity of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma that precludes the conduct of a randomized clinical trial in a timely manner, a novel method for assessing efficacy is being proposed. Efficacy will be assessed by estimating the tumor growth rate while a patient is enrolled on study and comparing the growth rates on lanreotide to the pre-enrollment growth rates. The method of analysis that will be used has been previously described. For this assessment a minimum of three tumor measurements will be required.
