Experimental: Octreotide then Lanreotide
Each patient on study will receive three injections of intramuscular (IM) octreotide Long Acting Release (LAR). Octreotide LAR for 3 injections followed by lanreotide for 3 injections
|
Drug: Octreotide
Patients will receive three monthly injections every 28 (+/- 3) days. Octreotide LAR for 3 injections followed by lanreotide for 3 injections Drug: LAR Lanreotide Patients will receive three monthly injections every 28 (+/- 3) days. Lanreotide for 3 injections followed by octreotide LAR for 3 injections Behavioral: Questionnaires Baseline questionnaire, Post-treatment questionnaire (after the first 3 injections), Preference questionnaire and Pain Score Diary. |
Experimental: Lanreotide then Octreotide
Each patient on study will receive three injections of deep subcutaneous (subq) lanreotide. Lanreotide for 3 injections followed by octreotide LAR for 3 injections
|
Drug: Octreotide
Patients will receive three monthly injections every 28 (+/- 3) days. Octreotide LAR for 3 injections followed by lanreotide for 3 injections Drug: LAR Lanreotide Patients will receive three monthly injections every 28 (+/- 3) days. Lanreotide for 3 injections followed by octreotide LAR for 3 injections Behavioral: Questionnaires Baseline questionnaire, Post-treatment questionnaire (after the first 3 injections), Preference questionnaire and Pain Score Diary. |
- Comparison of mean pain scores [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Patients will rate, on a numeric scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being No pain" to 10 being "Worst pain ever" the pain or discomfort experienced with the SSA injection.
