Summary
Brief summary
Study approved by bellberry ethics committee K on 19th February 2024.
This is a single-centre, single ascending dose study to assess the safety of lanreotide Extended-Release Formulation, and how this drug acts in the body in healthy volunteers. Lanreotide may be indicated for use in patients with neuroendocrine cancer, but a trial of the drug in healthy volunteers is needed before trials in cancer patients can proceed.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are aged 18 to 55 years and are in good general health without a clinically significant medical history. People who have been diagnosed with cancer will not be eligible for this study.
Participants who choose to enrol in this study may be enrolled into one of three dose cohorts. Healthy volunteer participants may receive either a single dose of lanreotide ERF administered as a subcutaneous (under the skin) injection or a single dose of lanreotide ERF administered as an intramuscular (into a muscle) injection. All participants will have their vital signs checked and will provide blood samples for testing.

It is hoped this research will determine the maximum dose and best injection method for lanreotide ERF that can be administered safely without causing severe reactions. Once the dose of lanreotide ERF has been determined in healthy volunteers, a trial investigating the efficacy of lanreotide ERF as a treatment for neuroendocrine cancer patients may proceed.
