About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Malignant Bowel Obstruction focused on measuring bowel obstruction

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of partial bowel obstruction secondary to active or prior malignancy (primary or metastatic GI, GYN, and carcinomatosis) caused either by tumor itself or adhesions inthe setting of active malignancy.
  • Cross-sectional imaging performed within 24 hours of clinical symptoms of bowel obstruction (nausea, vomiting, and constipation ± abdominal pain) during hospital admission.
  • Patient must have an inoperable MBO
  • Participant must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved writteninformed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of complete bowel obstruction by imaging.
  • Bacteremia/septicemia with a documented positive blood culture: If a blood culture comes back positive after study enrollment, patient will be excluded.
  • Patients already taking a steroid equivalent to 8 mg of dexamethasone per day prior to study enrollment.
  • Patients undergoing bowel surgery or stent placement for bowel obstruction.
  • Those patients with MBO in setting of incarcerated hernia.
  • Known history of QT prolongation syndrome or if QTc is > 450 msec in males or > 470 msec in females on baseline EKG within 2 weeks of enrollment.
  • Lack of decision making capacity/delirium.
  • Pregnant or nursing female participants.
  • Actively suicidal patients.
  • Acute cholecystitis

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Treatment (octreotide, dexamethasone, metoclopramide)

Arm Description

IV octreotide 300 mcg TID + IV dexamethasone 4 mg BID (first dose 9am and second at 2pm) + IV metoclopramide 10 mg q6h.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Proportion of Patients With Obstruction Clearance
The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of eligible patients whose malignant bowel obstruction clears (de-obstruction) within 7 days of starting the protocol therapy. Patients meeting de-obstruction criteria within 7 days will be deemed treatment successes. De-obstruction is defined as: Effective introduction of oral intake (yes/no) Distinguished from small volumes of oral fluid that may be allowed with unresolved MBO Tolerating oral liquid diet (day 1 of de-obstruction) that is able to be progressively more solid (oral or enteral) Cessation of vomiting or ability for NGT or venting G tube to remain clamped without vomiting Rate of de-obstruction is defined as: - From the date of study enrollment to the first observation of de-obstruction.
