About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Non-functioning Pituitary Adenoma focused on measuring Non-functioning pituitary adenoma,, pasireotide LAR,, tumor volume

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Non-functioning pituitary adenoma ≥ 1cm, patients without any previous treatment for the tumor
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who required a surgical intervention for relief of any sign or symptom associated with tumor compression
  • Previous pituitary surgery
  • Previous medical treatment for pituitary tumor
  • Patients who had received pituitary irradiation within 10 years prior to randomization
  • Prolactin (PRL) levels > 100 ng/mL. PRL evaluation should have been performed with diluted samples to ensure "hook effect." was avoided
  • Patients who presented prolactinomas, acromegaly or Cushing's disease
  • Patients with compression of the optic chiasm causing acute clinically significant visual field defects

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With Non-functioning Pituitary Adenomas (NFPA) Who Achieve Tumor Volume Reduction of at Least 20% After 24 Weeks (FAS)
Tumor volume was evaluated by MRI. MRIs were performed and processed according to the guidelines of the central evaluator's facility.The pituitary adenomas were measured by a neuro-radiologist, using manual tracing together with the imaging analysis software. The largest diameter at any plan determined the maximum diameter of the tumor. A change ≥ 20% in the original volume of the tumor was considered to be clinically significant. Evaluable participants required tumor volume assessment at baseline and at week 24.

Secondary Outcome Measures
