receiving SOM230

- Patients who have participated in any clinical investigation with an investigational
drug within 1 month prior to dosing

- Patients with additional active malignant disease within the last five years

Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Symptom Control (Diarrhea/Flushing) Using a Patient Symptom Diary

Outcome Description:

Complete Symptom Control: an average of ≤ 3 bowel movements per day for at least 15 consecutive days, with no more than 3 episodes on any given day, and no episodes of flushing over the time interval being studied. Partial Symptom Control: an average of < 4 bowel movements per day for at least 15 consecutive days, with no more than 6 episodes per given day, and an average of fewer than 2 daily flushing episodes over the same given time interval. Treatment failure: Failure to obtain partial or complete treatment success over a consecutive 15-day period at a constant dose level.

Outcome Time Frame:

15 days
