Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 40 mg octreotide long-acting release intramuscular every 28 days is effective in the treatment of patients with refractory anemia due to gastrointestinal angiodysplasias. We hypothesize that octreotide is effective in reducing the transfusion requirements (consisting of red blood cell transfusions and intravenous iron infusions) of patients with angiodysplasia-related anemia.
