Effect of Octreotide on Saliva
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of Octreotide on saliva enzymes. The study team hypothesizes that Octreotide will decrease the levels of certain proteins, specifically the metalloproteinase family.

Detailed Description
This is a healthy volunteer pilot study. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a drug, Octreotide, on saliva enzymes in order to see if this drug can help prevent pharyngo-cutaneous fistulas (an abnormal tissue connection in the pharynx) in patients undergoing laryngectomy.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To quantify the change of saliva proteomes of subjects pre-octreotide treatment [Day 1 pre-treatment]
Saliva samples analyzed using quantitative LC/MS/MS using a nanAcquity UPLC system (Waters Corp) coupled to a Thermo Orbitrap Fusion Lumos high resolution accurate mass tandem mass spectrometer (Thermo) via a nanoelectrospray ionization source
- To quantify the change of saliva proteomes of subjects post-octreotide treatment [Day 1 post-treatment]
Saliva samples analyzed using quantitative LC/MS/MS using a nanAcquity UPLC system (Waters Corp) coupled to a Thermo Orbitrap Fusion Lumos high resolution accurate mass tandem mass spectrometer (Thermo) via a nanoelectrospray ionization source
