This was an open-label, multicentre, randomised controlled trial.
Adult patients with a high-output intestinal fistula (>500 mL/24 h) or small bowel enterostomy (>1500 mL/24 h) more than 4 weeks post-surgery and receiving standard medical treatment (dietary- and fluid restriction, PPI, loperamide and codeine) for at least 2 weeks were eligible for inclusion.
We randomised patients 1:1 between continuing standard treatment (control), and subcutaneous lanreotide 120 mg every 4 weeks with standard treatment.
The primary outcome was the number of responders, with response defined as an output reduction of ≥25%, 8 weeks after randomisation.
