Real-world data evaluating patients' injection experiences using the latest devices/formulations of the long-acting (LA) somatostatin analogs (SSAs) lanreotide Autogel/Depot (LAN; Somatuline®) and octreotide LA release (OCT; Sandostatin®) are limited.
PRESTO 2 was a 2020/2021 e-survey comparing injection experience of adults with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) or acromegaly treated with LAN prefilled syringe versus OCT syringe for > 3 months in Canada, Ireland, the UK and the USA (planned sample size, 304).
the proportion of patients with injection-site pain lasting > 2 days after their most recent injection, analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model. Secondary endpoints included interference with daily life due to injection-site pain and technical injection problems in patients with current SSA use for ≥ 6 months.
There were 304 respondents (acromegaly, n = 85; NETs, n = 219; LAN, n = 168; OCT, n = 136; 69.2% female; mean age, 59.6 years). Fewer patients had injection-site pain lasting > 2 days after the most recent injection with LAN (6.0%) than OCT (22.8%); the odds of pain lasting > 2 days were significantly lower for LAN than OCT, adjusted for disease subgroup and occurrence of injection-site reactions (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.13 [0.06-0.30]; p < 0.0001). Injection-site pain interfered with daily life "a little bit" or "quite a bit" in 37.2% and 3.8% (LAN) versus 52.5% and 7.5% (OCT) of patients, respectively. Among patients with ≥ 6 months' experience with current SSA (92.4% of patients), technical injection problems never occurred in 76.8% (LAN) and 42.9% (OCT) of patients.
Compared with OCT, significantly fewer patients using LAN had injection-site pain lasting > 2 days after their most recent injection. Also, fewer LAN-treated patients experienced technical problems during injection. These findings demonstrate the importance of injection modality for overall LA SSA injection experience for patients with acromegaly or NETs.
使用长效(LA)生长抑素类似物(SSA)兰瑞肽 Autogel/Depot(LAN;Somatuline®)和奥曲肽 LA 释放(OCT;Sandostatin®)的最新设备/配方评估患者注射体验的真实世界数据有限。
PRESTO 2 是一项 2020/2021 年的电子调查,比较了加拿大、爱尔兰、英国和美国的神经内分泌肿瘤(NETs)或肢端肥大症成年患者在使用 LAN 预充注射器与 OCT 注射器治疗超过 3 个月后的注射体验(计划样本量为 304 例)。
使用多变量逻辑回归模型分析最近一次注射后超过 2 天持续存在注射部位疼痛的患者比例。次要终点包括因注射部位疼痛而对日常生活产生干扰以及当前 SSA 使用时间≥6 个月的患者存在技术注射问题。
共纳入 304 名受访者(肢端肥大症患者 n=85;NETs 患者 n=219;LAN 患者 n=168;OCT 患者 n=136;69.2%为女性;平均年龄 59.6 岁)。与 OCT 相比,LAN 组最近一次注射后超过 2 天持续存在注射部位疼痛的患者比例(6.0%)较低;调整疾病亚组和注射部位反应的发生情况后,LAN 比 OCT 发生持续疼痛的几率显著降低(比值比[95%置信区间]:0.13[0.06-0.30];p<0.0001)。注射部位疼痛对日常生活的干扰程度,LAN 组为“有点”或“相当多”的患者占 37.2%和 3.8%,OCT 组为 52.5%和 7.5%。在当前使用 SSA 治疗时间≥6 个月的患者中(92.4%的患者),LAN 组从未发生过技术注射问题的患者占 76.8%,OCT 组为 42.9%。
与 OCT 相比,使用 LAN 的患者最近一次注射后超过 2 天持续存在注射部位疼痛的比例显著更低。此外,接受 LAN 治疗的患者在注射过程中出现技术问题的比例也更低。这些结果表明,对于患有肢端肥大症或 NETs 的患者,注射方式对 LA SSA 整体注射体验非常重要。
