A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Ascending, Multidose Study To Determine Safety and Tolerability of Orally Administered LX1606 in Subjects With Symptomatic Carcinoid Syndrome Refractory to Stable-Dose Octreotide Long-Acting Release Depot Therapy

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of telotristat etiprate
(LX1606) versus a placebo control in participants with symptomatic carcinoid syndrome not
managed by stable-dose long-acting octreotide therapy. Following determination of the
maximally tolerated or effective dose, cohort expansion will occur to confirm effect on
symptoms and safety profile.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Males and females, aged 18 and older

- Biopsy-proven metastatic carcinoid tumor of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract with
disease extent confirmed by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), or radionuclide imaging

- Symptoms not managed by stable-dose long-acting octreotide therapy (≥4 bowel movements
per day)

- Ability to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

- ≥12 high volume, watery bowel movements per day associated with a clinical syndrome of
volume contraction, dehydration, or hypotension compatible with a "pancreatic
cholera"-type clinical syndrome

- Sponsor-unacceptable clinical laboratory values for hematology and liver function
tests at screening

- Karnofsky status ≤70% - unable to care for self

- Surgery within 60 days prior to screening

- A history of short bowel syndrome

- Life expectancy <12 months

- History of substance or alcohol abuse within 2 years prior to screening

- Previous exposure to a tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) inhibitor

- Administration of any investigational drug within 30 days of screening or any
therapeutic protein or antibody within 90 days of screening
