Overview

Generic Name(s):
lanreotide
Trade Name(s):
Somatuline Depot Injection
NCI Definition [1]:
A synthetic cyclic octapeptide analogue of somatostatin. Lanreotide binds to somatostatin receptors (SSTR), specifically SSTR-2 and also to SSTR-5 with a lesser affinity. However, compare with octreotide, this agent is less potent in inhibiting the release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Furthermore, lanreotide has an acute effect on decreasing circulating total and free insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-I). This agent is usually given as a prolonged-release microparticle or Autogel formulation for the treatment of acromegaly and to relieve the symptoms of neuroendocrine tumors.

Lanreotide has been investigated in 4 clinical trials, of which 3 are open and 1 is closed. Of the trials investigating lanreotide, 1 is phase 1/phase 2 (1 open), 2 are phase 2 (2 open), and 1 is phase 3 (0 open).

SSTR2 Expression, SSTR1 Expression, and SSTR3 Expression are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for lanreotide clinical trials.

Adrenal gland pheochromocytoma, digestive system neuroendocrine neoplasm, and gastric neuroendocrine tumor are the most common diseases being investigated in lanreotide clinical trials [2].
