- Patients treated with octreotide LAR (30 mg or 40 mg) or lanreotide ATG (120 mg)
monotherapy for at least 3 months prior to screening

Exclusion Criteria:

discontinued 3 months prior to screening

syndrome or concomitant medications with known risk of TdP

- Patients with congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV), unstable angina,
sustained ventricular tachycardia, clinically significant bradycardia, advanced heart
block, history of acute MI less than one year prior to study entry or clinically
significant impairment in cardiovascular function.

- Concomitant disease(s) that could prolong the QT interval such as autonomic neuropathy
(caused by diabetes or Parkinson's disease), HIV, cirrhosis, uncontrolled
hypothyroidism or cardiac failure

- Patients with liver disease or ALT/AST > 2.0 X ULN, serum bilirubin >2.0 X ULN -
Presence of Hepatitis B surface antigen or Hepatitis C antibody test

screening

- Patients with active malignant disease within the last five years (with the exception
of basal cell carcinoma or carcinoma in situ of the cervix)

limits) or patients receiving anticoagulants that affect PT (prothrombin time) or APTT
(activated partial thromboplastin time)

- History of syncope or family history of idiopathic sudden death

- History of immunocompromise, including a positive HIV test result (ELISA and Western
blot)

- Known hypersensitivity to somatostatin analogues or any other component of pasireotide

the study or the evaluation of the study results

potentially unreliable or will be unable to complete the entire study.

and for 3 months following last dose of pasireotide

- Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a
female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a
positive hCG laboratory test

- Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of
becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of contraception
during dosing and 3 months following the last dose of pasireotide.
