New 12-Week hormone therapy studied for rare tumors
NCT ID NCT05364944
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new formulation of octreotide (Debio 4126) that lasts 12 weeks, aiming to control hormone levels in people with acromegaly or certain neuroendocrine tumors. Only 19 participants were enrolled before the trial was terminated. The main goal was to measure drug levels in the blood and check safety.

Main Inclusion Criteria: For Participants with Acromegaly: * Treatment with octreotide LAR (≤30 mg dose once in 4 weeks \[Q4W\] IM) or lanreotide ATG (≤120 mg Q4W or 120 mg once in 6 weeks \[Q6W\] to once in 8 weeks \[Q8W\] as deep SC injection) for at least 6 months overall, and for at least 2 months at a stable dose as monotherapy for acromegaly treatment prior to entering Run-in (Day -28). Octreotide doses of 10, 20, and 30 mg are considered similar to lanreotide doses of 60, 90, and 120 mg. Thus, a switch between similar doses of the two products will be considered as the patient remaining on a stable dose, unless due to efficacy or safety * Diagnosis of acromegaly by historical evidence of (persistent or recurrent) acromegaly will be carried out * IGF-1 ≤1.3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) assessed centrally at screening For Participants with GEP-NETs: * Treatment with octreotide LAR (≤ 30 mg dose Q4W IM) or lanreotide ATG (≤ 120 mg Q4W or 120 mg Q6W to Q8W as deep SC injection) for at least 6 months overall, and for at least 2 months at a stable dose as monotherapy for study disease treatment prior to entering Run-in (Day -28). Octreotide doses of 10, 20, and 30 mg are considered similar to lanreotide doses of 60, 90, and 120 mg. Thus, a switch between similar doses of the two products will be considered as the participant remaining on a stable dose, unless due to efficacy or safety * Participants with functioning, well-differentiated (Grade 1 or Grade 2) GEP-NET with symptoms of carcinoid syndrome which are controlled by Sandostatin LAR, Somatuline ATG, or equivalent medications; sporadic use of rescue medication for symptom control, e.g., bowel movements and/or flushing, is allowed Main Exclusion Criteria: For Participants with Acromegaly and GEP-NETs: * Known ongoing gallbladder or bile duct disease or acute or chronic pancreatitis * Hypothyroidism not adequately treated with thyroid hormone replacement therapy * Diabetic participants whose blood glucose is poorly controlled despite adequate therapy, as evidenced by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) \>8.0% at screening * Cardiology: 1. Known left ventricular ejection fraction \<50%, left ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular arrhythmias, bradycardia (heart rate \<50 beats per minute \[bpm\]), cardiomyopathy 2. New York Heart Association Class ≥3 heart failure 3. Congenital long QT syndrome or 4. Known family history of long QT syndrome or sudden cardiac death before the age of 50 5. Symptomatic Pulmonary embolism 6. QT interval corrected for heart rate according to Fridericia's formula (QTcF) at screening \>450 milliseconds (msec) for males and \>470 msec for females, based on the average of a triplicate ECG For Participants with Acromegaly: * Participants who received pituitary irradiation \<2 years prior to enrollment as stereotactic radiotherapy or \<3 years prior to enrollment for conventional radiotherapy * Participants who received medical treatment with pasireotide (within 6 months prior to screening), pegvisomant (within 3 months prior to screening), dopamine agonists (within 3 months prior to screening) * Participants who have undergone pituitary surgery within 6 months prior to screening For Participants with GEP-NETs: * Participants with short-bowel syndrome * Participants with poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma and/or high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma * Participants who have received any previous therapy with interferons, targeted therapies (e.g., everolimus, sunitinib, bevacizumab), chemotherapy or other anti-neoplastic systemic therapies administered for more than 1 month and within 12 weeks prior to the start of the Run-in period * Participants having history of hepatic embolization, hepatic arterial chemoembolization, and/or selective internal radiation (SIR) therapy within less than 6 months prior to screening * Participants who have received Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) therapy during the last 12 months prior to screening \[Note: Other inclusion/exclusion criteria mentioned in the protocol may apply.\]
