Octreotide in Severe Polycystic Liver Disease

Summary

This study will evaluate the effect of Octreotide LAR® on the liver volumes of patients with severe polycystic liver disease who are not candidates or decline surgical treatments such as liver cyst fenestration, liver resection or liver transplantation. A total of 42 patients will be recruited -14 who will receive placebo and 28 the study drug. Preliminary evidence indicates that this drug is safe and non-toxic in other disease states. Treatment with this drug holds promise not only for individuals with liver involvement, but also for many more patients with polycystic kidney disease.
