Background: Octreotide is the most widely used somatostatin analogue; however, the LAR formulation must be reconstituted prior to intramuscular injection. This Phase I study compared the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of octreotide Fluid Crystal (FC), a ready-to-use depot formulation for s.c. administration, vs octreotide LAR.Methods: After a single dose of octreotide s.c. 200 μg, healthy adult male/female volunteers were randomized 1 week la...
