octreotide acetate solution for injection

Preoperative octreotide treatment for the purpose of reducing excessive thyroid hormones may not enhance surgical outcomes, and the duration of octreotide treatment needs to be extended to fully benefit from the tumor-shrinking effects of SSAs.

He was then started on octreotide 50 mcg TID and eventually transitioned to Sandostatin depot 20 mg intergluteal injection every 4 weeks... Acromegaly is often missed due to the insidious onset of physical changes that are observed. Literature review reveals only two other cases of acromegaly related NICM resulting in cardiogenic shock, in which only one patient received an emergent heart transplant. When recognized early, patients can be treated surgically and or/medically before irreversible changes occur.

Four months of Sandostatin treatment targeting neuroendocrine tumors showed no effectiveness...Pathologists need to be aware that breast carcinomas can mimic WD-NET clinically and immunophenotypically. Essential ancillary evaluation is warranted when facing a WD-NET–like neoplasm regardless of location and clinical presentation.

Once stabilised, the patient was discharged with NG feeds, prednisolone and a long-acting somatostatin analogue (sandostatin)...Somatostatin analogues had a useful steroid sparing role. Larger case series are warranted to clarify the management of NICTH patients with placebo-controlled studies to determine the role of somatostatin analogues.

Patient was placed on Ceftriaxone, Sandostatin, and IV high dose PPI. Our case supports the notion of the use of this marker in HCC screening, aiming for better outcomes. As our understanding, there is no value reported in the literature of such magnitude.

She was treated with intramuscular sandostatin 20mg q28days and then underwent a left pneumonectomy, resulting in biochemical resolution of her acromegaly (IGF-1 219 μg/L)...Learning points Diagnosis of acromegaly due to ectopic GHRH secretion requires high clinical suspicion by the treating clinicians (e.g., endocrinologist, oncologist) as well as review of histology by expert pathologists. Our case highlights that ectopic GHRH secretion is a rare but important cause of acromegaly, which should always be suspected when a clear pituitary cause is not identified.

All subjects received Sandostatin® (100μg immediate release; SIR) by deep SC injection 24h before MTD201... MTD201 (30mg) by either IM or SC injection produced continuous octreotide release over a period of at least 63 days at levels predicted to maintain efficacious plasma concentrations at steady state with a dosing interval of up to 8 weeks. Reduced plasma IGF-1 concentrations were maintained throughout the study period. Unlike marketed octreotide depot products, MTD201 can be simply and rapidly reconstituted in WFI to give a stable suspension injectable via 21G needle in a 1.5mL volume.
