Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To assess the effect of the extended release of octreotide (LF-PB) 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg on time to resolution of lymphorrhea • To evaluate safety and tolerability of LF-PB 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg;Secondary Objective: • To assess the effects of LF-PB 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg on the daily volume of lymph collected from the drain • To assess the effect of LF-PB 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg on complications related to lymphorrhea • To evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of LF-PB 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg;Primary end point(s): Duration of lymphorrhea while the drain is in place. End of lymphorrhea will be declared when the lymph volume measured by the patient is <50 mL/day in 2 consecutive daily collections. The reduction to <50ml in two consecutive days must be confirmed by the site. The date of lymphorrhea resolution is defined as the first of the 2 consecutive days when lymph volume collected is <50 mL.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Daily volume of lymph collected when drain is in place as reported daily by the patient Duration of lymphorrhea when lymph daily volumes >50ml persists after drain removal and lymph is collected by puncture. End of lymphorrhea will be declared when the lymph volume is <50 mL. • Time to drain removal • Percentage of responders at 1 week after surgery. A responder is a patient for whom lymphorrhea is reduced to <50 mL in 2 consecutive daily collections. • Percentage of responders at drain removal. A responder is a patient for whom lymphorrhea is reduced to <50 mL in 2 consecutive daily collections. • Number of complications related to lymphorrhea • PK parameters (Cmax,, Tmax AUC0-t, and possibly AUC0-, t1/2) after 10 mg, 20 mg, and 30 mg LF-PB IM single-dose administration;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks
