Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants With a Reduction of Mean GH Levels to < 2.5 µg/L and Normalization of Sex- and Age-adjusted IGF-1.
At 24 weeks

The primary objective of this study was to compare the percentage of patients achieving biochemical control (defined as mean GH levels \<2.5 µg/L and normalization of sex- and age- adjusted IGF-1) at 24 weeks with pasireotide LAR 40 mg and pasireotide LAR 60 mg separately versus continued treatment with octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide autogel (ATG) 120 mg. The primary efficacy variable is the proportion of patients with a reduction of mean GH levels to \< 2.5 µg/L and normalization of sex- and age-adjusted IGF-1 at 24 weeks.

Percentage of Participants With a Reduction of Mean GH Level to <2.5 μg/L and the Normalization of IGF-1
12 months

Percentage of participants with a reduction of mean GH levels to \<2.5μg/L (based on a 5-point 2-hour profile) and normalization of sex- and age-adjusted IGF-1. Post surgery = patients with prior surgery but no previous medical treatment for acromegaly De novo = patients with de novo disease who refused pituitary surgery or for whom pituitary surgery was contraindicated.

Percentage of Participants With Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) Observed Response by Dose Class
Month 9 (Month 9 visit is at the completion of six months in this extension study)

A participant was a responder to a dose level if the mean GH level after dosing (t30, t60, t90, and t120) was below/equal to 2.5 microgram/litre (μg/L), and if the mean of IGF-1 of the two pre-dose values (t-30, t-1) was within normal limits for age-sex matched controls. If three or more of t30, t60, t90, or t120 were missing, mean GH was considered missing. If either t-30 or t-1 was missing, mean IGF-1 was considered missing. Pasireotide incident dose classes were defined by total daily doses ranges (\<1200 μg/d, 1200 to \<1500 μg/d, ≥ 1500 μg/d).

Control arm (octreotide or lanreotide)ACTIVE_COMPARATORIf a patient is randomized to the open label arm the investigator will either: * be instructed to contact a Novartis delegate to initiate shipment of either octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide ATG 120 mg from a Novartis or designee depot to the site, or * continue to dispense either octreotide LAR 30 mg or lanreotide ATG 120 mg available at the institution to the patient if permitted by local regulations.
Pasireotide LAREXPERIMENTALPatients in this arm received Pasireotide LAR 40 mg im depot injection, blinded, once every 28 days (± 2 days) for 12 months. Dose could be down- or up-titrated to 20 or 60 mg, respectively. Patients who responded to Pasireotide LAR (i.e. the randomized treatment) at the end of the core (Month 12), continued Pasireotide LAR treatment in the extension. Patients who did not respond to Pasireotide LAR at the end of the core (Month 12) were allowed to switch to receive Octreotide LAR in the extension.
Octreotide LARACTIVE_COMPARATORPatients in this arm received Octreotide LAR 20 mg im depot injection, blinded, once every 28 days (± 2 days) for 12 months. Dose could be down- or up-titrated to 10 or 30 mg, respectively. Patients who responded to Octreotide LAR (i.e. the randomized treatment) at the end of the core (Month 12) continued Octreotide LAR treatment in the extension (up to 2 years of treatment). Patients who did not respond to Octreotide LAR at the end of the core (Month 12) were allowed to switch to receive Pasireotide LAR in the extension.
Pasireotide s.c. OverallEXPERIMENTALParticipants received pasireotide as a daily subcutaneous (s.c) injection, every 12 hours at 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM at the dose at which the biochemical control was achieved (either 200, 400, or 600 microgram (μg)) for as long as the participant benefited from the treatment, and there were no safety or tolerability concerns (median duration of 22.7 months).
