Sandostatin LAR® Depot in Patients With Primary Insulin Hypersecretion (PIH) and at Least Moderate Obesity
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Primary Insulin Hypersecretion, Obesity
In brief
This study is in patients with at least moderate obesity (Body Mass Index \[BMI\] \> 30 kg/m2 or approximately 30 or more pounds overweight) and who also produce too much insulin (insulin stores sugar as fat). Sandostatin LAR® Depot suppresses insulin, and is being developed to help with weight loss in people who find it hard to lose weight on their own because they produce too much insulin. The main purpose of the study is to find the lowest dose of Sandostatin LAR® Depot that safely helps overweight people lose weight. The study will also compare weight loss in obese patients who receive one of three different dosages of Sandostatin LAR Depot or placebo.
