4031 Background: The novel somatostatin analog (SSA) pasireotide has a broader binding profile than currently available SSA (octreotide and lanreotide). Results from a phase III study (NCT00690430) of pasireotide LAR (P) vs octreotide LAR (O) in patients (pts) with NET and disease-related symptoms uncontrolled by the maximum approved dose of available SSA are shown.
