Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria:
1. Male or female patients =18 years.
2. Patients who have failed standard of care treatment or for whom no standard of care treatment is available.
3. Patients with rare neuroendocrine tumors of pancreas or duodenum must meet each of the following:

5. Patient with EAS tumors and Nelson’s syndrome should have confirmed diagnosis by the investigator with criteria consistent with [Post Text Supplement 1]. Biochemical evidence can include values of a historical nature: (1) values used to establish the original diagnosis and/or (2) most recently available abnormal value(s).

Exclusion criteria:
1. Patients with active gallbladder disease.
2. Patients with any ongoing or planned anti-neoplastic therapy.
3. Patients with any ongoing or planned therapy with interferon.
4. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus as indicated by the presence of HbA1c > 8% (Not applicable for glucagonoma patients).
5. Patients with radiolabelled somatostatin analogue therapy within 6 months of visit 1, cytotoxic therapy or interferon within 2 months of visit 1 or radiotherapy within 1 month of visit 1.
6. Patients who have any current or prior medical condition that may interfere with the conduct of the study or the evaluation of its results in the opinion of the Investigator or the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor.
7. Current or past medical history of clinically significant ECG abnormalities (see criteria below), significant heart disease (e.g. atherosclerosis, heart failure), or risk factors for torsades de pointes i.e. a history/family history of long QT-interval syndrome. Abnormal ECG is defined as:
• PR> 220 msec, QRS complex > 110 msec, QTcB > 450 msec
• Any cardiac conduction abnormality
• Any morphologic abnormality
8. Patients with abnormal coagulation (PT or APTT elevated by 30% above normal limits)
9. Female patients who are pregnant or lactating, or are of childbearing potential and not practicing a medically acceptable method for birth control.
• Female patients of child-bearing potential must use barrier contraception with condoms. The use of intra uterine device for all women and oral contraception for all women is allowed except for those patients diagnosed with non-functioning pituitary adenoma and gonadotroph adenoma.
• If oral contraception is used in addition to condoms, the patient must have been practicing this method for at least two months prior to enrollment and must agree to continue the oral contraceptive throughout the course of the study, and for three months after the study has ended.
• Male patients who are sexually active are required to use condoms during the study and for three months afterwards as a precautionary measure (available data do not suggest any increased reproductive risk with the study drugs). Female partners of these male patients must use a secondary barrier contraception.
10. Patients who have participated in any clinical investigation with an investigational drug within 30 days prior to dosing.
11. Patients with a history of non-compliance to medical regimens or who are considered potentially unreliable or will be unable to complete the entire study.

Primary Outcome(s)

Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of pasireotide LAR in pancreatic and duodenum NETs (Insulinoma, Gastrinoma, VIPoma, and Glucagonoma) based on disease specific primary biochemical tumor markers.

Primary end point(s): - Patient response criteria: Patient response will be assessed for each tumor type by the change in the primary biochemical tumor marker value from baseline after 6 months of pasireotide LAR treatment. A patient will be considered a responder if there is a >50% decrease or normalization in the level of the primary biochemical tumor marker from baseline after 6 months of pasireotide LAR treatment. Biochemical tumor markers (including primary and non-primary markers) are presented for each specific disease in [Post Text Supplement 1]. In general, these rare tumors are not well characterized and while normalization of the primary biochemical tumor marker is the optimal goal, a 50% decrease in a biochemical tumor marker is anticipated to correlate with improvement in clinical signs/symptoms.

- Primary Efficacy: The proportion of responders among the patients with pancreatic and duodenum NETs (Insulinoma, Gastrinoma, VIPoma, and Glucagonoma).

- Secondary Efficacy:
1. The proportion of responders in each type of pancreatic and duodenum NETs including Insulinoma, Gastrinoma, VIPoma and Glucagonoma.
2. The proportion of responders in each of the other rare NETs including Prolactinoma, Thyrotropic adenoma, Gonadotropic adenoma, Non functioning pituitary adenoma, Ectopic ACTH-secreting tumors and Nelsons syndrome
3. The associated disease related symptoms present at baseline will be followed throughout the study using Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale (MSAS).

- Exploratory Efficacy: The primary biochemical tumor markers will be summarized longitudinally, i.e. % change from baseline by visit.

- Safety: Overall safety and tolerability of pasireotide LAR will be assessed by changes in vital signs and laboratory values including ECGs, urinalyses and blood chemistries. Additionally, patients will be monitored for the occurrence of adverse events at each study visit.

- PK: The PK of pasireotide LAR will be assessed by measurements of trough plasma concentrations.

Secondary Objective: - To assess the efficacy of pasireotide LAR in each of the pancreatic and duodenum NETs (Insulinoma, Gastrinoma, VIPoma and Glucagonoma) based on disease specific primary biochemical tumor markers
- To assess the efficacy of pasireotide LAR in each of the other rare NETs including Prolactinoma, Thyrotropic adenoma, Gonadotropic adenoma, Non functioning pituitary adenoma, Ectopic ACTH-secreting tumors and Nelsons syndrome based on disease specific primary biochemical tumor markers.
- To evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of pasireotide LAR
- To evaluate the effect of pasireotide LAR on disease-related symptoms.
- To evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) trough plasma concentrations of pasireotide LAR
