Trial Title: Safety and Efficacy of Pasireotide Long Acting Release (LAR) vs. Octreotide LAR in Patients With Active Acromegaly

Study Design Characteristics:
- Allocation: RANDOMIZED
- Intervention Model: PARALLEL
- Observational Model: None
- Primary Purpose: TREATMENT
- Time Perspective: None
- Masking: TRIPLE
- Phase: PHASE3
- Number of Arms: 2.0

Eligibility Criteria:
Inclusion criteria:~* Patients with active acromegaly (based on elevated GH and IGF-1 levels)~* Patients who have undergone one or more pituitary surgeries, but have not been treated medically, or de-novo patients presenting a visible pituitary adenoma on MRI and who refuse pituitary surgery or for whom pituitary surgery is contraindicated~* Patients for whom written informed consent to participate in the study has been obtained prior to any study related activity~Exclusion criteria:~* Patients who are being or were treated with octreotide, lanreotide, dopamine agonists or GH antagonists with the exception of a single dose of short-acting octrotide or short-acting dopamine agonists. In case of a single dose of short-acting octrotide, the dose should not be used to predict the response to the octretide treatment. The single dose of short-acting octreotide or short-acting dopamine agonists should not be administered in the 3 days prior to randomization~* Patients with compression of the optic chiasm causing any visual field defect~* Patients who have received pituitary irradiation within the last ten years prior to visit 1~* Poorly controlled diabetic patients~Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Study Arms:
- Pasireotide LAR (Type: EXPERIMENTAL): Patients in this arm received Pasireotide LAR 40 mg im depot injection, blinded, once every 28 days (± 2 days) for 12 months. Dose could be down- or up-titrated to 20 or 60 mg, respectively. Patients who responded to Pasireotide LAR (i.e. the randomized treatment) at the end of the core (Month 12), continued Pasireotide LAR treatment in the extension. Patients who did not respond to Pasireotide LAR at the end of the core (Month 12) were allowed to switch to receive Octreotide LAR in the extension.
- Octreotide LAR (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Patients in this arm received Octreotide LAR 20 mg im depot injection, blinded, once every 28 days (± 2 days) for 12 months. Dose could be down- or up-titrated to 10 or 30 mg, respectively. Patients who responded to Octreotide LAR (i.e. the randomized treatment) at the end of the core (Month 12) continued Octreotide LAR treatment in the extension (up to 2 years of treatment). Patients who did not respond to Octreotide LAR at the end of the core (Month 12) were allowed to switch to receive Pasireotide LAR in the extension.

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
