Official Title: Octreotide Improves Human Lymphatic Fluid Transport a Translational Trial
Brief Summary:
This study aims to investigate whether octreotide, a medication used off-label to treat chylothorax, has a direct effect on human lymphatic drainage. To study the effects of octreotide, the researchers conducted a pre-clinical experiment using human lymphatic vessels mounted in a myograph chamber and a clinical experiment in which a double-blinded, randomized, cross-over trial wass conducted in 16 healthy adults. The results of the study will be used to determine the role of octreotide in the treatment of…
