Brief Summary: RATIONALE Octreotide may be effective in preventing or controlling diarrhea in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for anal or rectal cancer It is not yet known whether octreotide is effective in treating diarrhea

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying octreotide in preventing or reducing diarrhea in patients who are undergoing chemoradiotherapy for anal or rectal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the ability of octreotide to prevent the incidence of moderate severe or life-threatening chemoradiotherapy-induced diarrhea grades 2-4 in patients with anal or rectal cancer

Secondary

Compare the quality of life of patients treated with this drug vs placebo
Compare the number of hospitalizations and use of antidiarrheal agents eg Imodium related to diarrhea or its complications in patients treated with these drugs
Compare treatment delays andor dose reductions chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients treated with these drugs

OUTLINE This is a double-blind placebo-controlled randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to radiotherapy dose 50 Gy vs 50 Gy chemotherapy dose bolus vs continuous and gender Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive octreotide intramuscularly IM 4-7 days before the start of chemoradiotherapy and on day 22 3 days during chemoradiotherapy
Arm II Patients receive placebo IM 4-7 days before the start of chemoradiotherapy and on day 22 3 days during chemoradiotherapy

NOTE Patients receive a total of 2 injections of octreotide or placebo

In both arms treatment continues in the absence of unacceptable toxicity

Quality of life is assessed at baseline at the completion of chemoradiotherapy and at 3 6 9 and 15 months from the start of chemoradiotherapy

Patients are followed at 3 6 9 and 15 months from the start of chemoradiotherapy

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 226 patients 113 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 2 years
