Octreotide for Management of Bronchorrhea in Mechanically Ventilated Patients
A Phase 2 study testing Octreotide in people with Octreotide and Sputum, run by Danbury Hospital at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether administration of octreotide (12-25 mcg/hour) for 72 hours in combination with the standard of care treatment is effective in reducing bronchorrhea (excessive airway secretions) in mechanically ventilated patients. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Octreotide for Management of Bronchorrhea in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine whether administration of octreotide (12-25 mcg/hour) for 72 hours in combination with the standard of care treatment is effective in reducing bronchorrhea (excessive airway secretions) in mechanically ventilated patients. The use of this drug (octreotide) to manage bronchorrhea has not been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is used as an experimental drug in this research study. We are anticipating to enroll approximately 30 subjects in this study at Danbury Hospital, with 15 patients randomly assigned to the "Routine Care" group, which will serve as the control group, and 15 patients randomly assigned to the octreotide group. Control group will only receive the standard of care and will not receive this drug. Total subject participation in this study will be for 4 days (96 hours) or until their breathing tube is removed (extubation), whichever occurs first.
Read the detailed description
Octreotide is widely available and has a relatively low cost (about $17/day in our hospital). In the United States, it has been used widely in outpatient and inpatient settings for over 16 years, mostly for various endocrinopathies and gastrointestinal variceal bleeds but also for a number of other pathologies. It is considered by clinicians to be an overall well-tolerated medication, with fewer significant side-effects compared to systemic steroids and scopolamine. If octreotide is proven to be an effective mucoregulator, it may become an essential tool used in the intensive care units throughout the world.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness of including parenteral octreotide (12-25 mcg/hour for 72 hours) in addition to the other standard of care treatments deemed necessary by the ICU attending physician in managing bronchorrhea in mechanically ventilated patients. It is hypothesized that octreotide decreases excessive bronchial secretions and shortens time to extubation.
This study is an open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients will be randomized into two groups of 15, "Routine Care" group, which will serve as the control group, and "Octreotide" group. The amount of bronchial secretions is routinely measured in all mechanically ventilated patients. Once the Primary Team identifies a patient as a candidate for the study (based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria) and an informed consent has been obtained, the baseline volume of bronchial secretions per 12-hour period will be recorded and a security envelope containing group assignment will be opened by the ICU attending. Both groups will continue to receive treatments that have already been initiated to manage bronchial secretions. In addition, "Octreotide" group will receive parenteral octreotide, while "Routine Care" group will receive care as deemed necessary by the Primary Team. The rate of bronchial secretions will be measured and recorded daily; the changes, relative to the baseline measurements, will be compared between the groups. These interventions will be continued for 72 hours or until extubation or withdrawal from the study, whichever occurs earlier. Subsequently, the standard of care management, as determined by the Primary Team, will be resumed.
Primary outcome: Change in the rate of bronchial secretion, as compared to the baseline.

What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Octreotide in people with Octreotide and Sputum, run by Danbury Hospital at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Sep 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Bronchial Secretion Volume Over Preceding 24 Hour Period (time frame: baseline, 24, 48, 72 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Oct 2020.
