Relationship Between Symptoms and HRQoL Benefits in Patients (pts) with Carcinoid Syndrome (CS): A Post-Hoc Analysis of Telotristat Ethyl (TE) TELESTAR Trial

#1856

Introduction: TELESTAR previously demonstrated the efficacy and safety of TE in pts with CS experiencing >4 Bowel Movements (BM) per day despite stable-dose somatostatin analog therapy. Significantly higher rates of Durable Response (DR, predefined as Bowel Movement (BM) frequency reduction ≥30% from baseline for ≥50% of the 12 week double blind period) were observed with TE (TE 250mg: 44%, TE 500mg: 42%) vs placebo (20%).

Aim(s): This analysis aims at characterizing the clinical and HRQoL benefit in pts who reached DR.

Materials and methods: Changes from baseline to W12 in endpoints were compared between DR and non-durable responders (NDR) irrespectively of treatment arms. Significance was based on 95% CI of difference in means.
