Participant Flow

This study was planned to have 2 cohorts using a one-sequence two-period design to compare SOM230 vs. placebo. Two consecutive CH attacks were treated: the first attack was treated with placebo (Period 1) and the subsequent attack was treated with SOM230 (Period 2). However, Cohort 2 was not initiated.
