Résumé
Date de début de l'étude : 26 mars 1997
Date à laquelle le premier participant a commencé l'étude.OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety and efficacy of octreotide acetate versus conventional therapy with loperamide hydrochloride for chemotherapy related diarrhea in patients with advanced colorectal malignancies undergoing chemotherapy with fluorouracil or fluorouracil based regimens. OUTLINE: This is a prospective, randomized, parallel, open label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified by therapy, grade of diarrhea, and prior use of loperamide hydrochloride or octreotide acetate. Patients undergo 1 of 3 treatments. Patients receive either low doses of octreotide (arm A) or high doses of octreotide (arm B) subcutaneously 3 times daily for 5 days. Patients in arm C receive oral doses of loperamide following each unformed stool for 5 days. A diary is completed by patients to record medications and bowel history. Treatment continues if diarrhea persists beyond day 5, but will be considered a treatment failure. If diarrhea continues to worsen, patients are removed from study. All patients are followed for 24 days. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: This study will accrue a total of 500 patients.
