NCT06085976

Brief Summary

The goal of this double-blind clinical trial is to compare the efficacy of octreotide versus placebo in laparoscopic hepatectomy surgery in patients diagnosed with resectable hepatocarcinoma or liver metastases. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Decrease in intraoperative bleeding measured in ml of blood lost.
  • Decrease in the need for blood transfusion and use of intraoperative vasoactive drugs. Participants will receive octreotide or placebo after signing the informed consent form.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Incidence on intraoperative bleeding.

    Decrease in intraoperative bleeding measured in ml of blood lost during laparoscopic liver resection surgery via laparoscopy.

    During the time the surgery lasts.

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Rate of intraoperative hemodynamic stability.

    During the time the surgery lasts.

  • Incidence of intraoperative transfusion.

    During the time the surgery lasts.

  • Number of patients with vasoactive use.

    During the time the surgery lasts.

  • Incidence on the improvement of hepatic function

    Up to 90 days

  • Rate of postoperative complications

    Up to 90 days

Study Arms (2)

Treatment arm (octreotide)

EXPERIMENTAL

This patient will receive the treatment: Octreotide charge 100 mcgr + continuous infusion during the surgery 25 mcgr/h

Drug: Octreotide

Placebo arm (saline solution)

EXPERIMENTAL

This patient will receive physiologic saline solution at the same infusion

Other: Placebo

Interventions

A loading dose of 100 mcgr of octreotide will be administered in the intervention group, diluted in 100 ml of SSF to be passed in 30 minutes. Subsequently, it will be administered in continuous perfusion at 25 mcgr/h in the intervention group. The drug can be administered through a peripheral or central venous line at the choice of the anesthesiologist, since the drug has a density that allows its administration by both routes.

Also known as: Placebo
Treatment arm (octreotide)
PlaceboOTHER

In the case of the control group, 100 ml of SSF will be administered to be passed in half an hour and then an perfusion of SSF.

Placebo arm (saline solution)
