This trial will last for a maximum of 59 weeks for participants with post-bariatric hypoglycemia. It includes a Core Phase lasting 19 weeks with different stages such as screening,
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had bariatric surgery at least 6 months ago and suffer from low blood sugar after meals but not when fasting. They must be able to self-inject medication after training, have a history of specific symptoms related to low blood sugar, and provide written consent.
What is being tested?
The study tests Pasireotide Diaspartate in patients with post-bariatric hypoglycemia over a maximum of 59 weeks. It includes a no-treatment run-in period, a blinded treatment phase for 12 weeks, followed by an open-label extension phase for 36 weeks, and ends with a safety follow-up without treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
While the side effects are not detailed here, Pasireotide can typically cause gastrointestinal issues like nausea or diarrhea, increased blood sugar levels, headache, abdominal pain or discomfort among others.
