Notes: Data are from the intention-to-treat population (n = 25) except for urinary 5-HIAA levels, which were measured as judged necessary by the investigator. Data are presented only for patients with values for all three visits in an administration block. Reference values for Cg A and urinary 5-HIAA were <4.0 nmol/L and >50 μmol/day, respectively.

Abbreviations: Cg A, chromogranin A; 5-HIAA, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid; HCP, health care professional; SD, standard deviation.
