2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if HRX215 is safe and tolerable in adults who have undergone surgical removal of metastatic tumor(s) due to colorectal carcinoma in the liver. The main question it aims to answer are: 1. to learn about the safety of HRX215 2. to learn about how the body absorbs, distributes, and gets rid of HRX215 . Researchers will compare HRX215 to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see what medical problems participants have when taking HRX215. Participants will: Take HRX215 or a placebo twice a day for 28 days Daily visits for 7 days for checkups and tests which may either be in the hospital or outpatient after 3 days. Clinic visits every two weeks for the next two visits. The visit at two weeks may be a home visit or clinic visit. Additional clinic visits 3 months and 6 months after the start of treatment
This will be a prospective, randomized, double blind trial enrolling patients who will undergo major liver resection. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either octreotide or placebo in the postoperative period. The patients will receive octreotide intravenously continuously for five days after operation. During this period the patients' health will be monitored by performing blood tests including complete metabolic profile, Complete Blood Count (CBC) with/diff., INR and PTT. The functioning of heart will also be monitored post-operatively by EKG. Up to 80 participants will be accrued over a 2 year period. Volumetric CT scans will be performed prior to hepatectomy, 1 week after hepatectomy and 3 months after hepatectomy to evaluate liver regeneration.
