The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of Lanreotide 120 mg for the relief of clinical symptoms due to malignant bowel obstruction in inoperable patients. This effect will be evaluated by the percentage of responder patients 7 and 14 days after one administration of lanreotide 120 mg.
(A responder patient will be defined either as a patient experiencing < or= 1 vomiting episode per day during at least three consecutive days or as a patient in whom NGT has been removed without any vomiting recurrence during at least three consecutive days)
The total number of visits will depend on the clinical situation, 5 visits are obligatory: Day(D)-3/-0,Day 1,Day 7,Day 14,Day 28
Inclusion visit (D-3/-0): eligibility, PIC, obstruction history, clinical exam, vital signs, diary cards, VAS scale, cc medication, blood sample
Visit D1: injection Visit D7/D14/28: clinical exam, nutrition procedure, result of biochemical analyse, adverse events, cc medication
In between the visits, the patient will keep and fill out his diary and VAS scale
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Management of Malignant Bowel Obstruction (MBO) in Patients with Advanced Gynecological Cancers
Intestinal obstruction prompts luminal dilation and wall remodeling proximal to the site of obstruction. Studies on temporal and spatial morphomechanical remodeling are needed for comprehending the pa...

Gallstone ileus: A possible cause of bowel obstruction in the elderly population.
Gallstone ileus (GI) is characterized by a mechanical occlusion of the ileal lumen as a result of migration of one or more gallstones in the intestinal tract. Less than 1-4% of all cases of intestinal...
Ileus
A condition caused by the lack of intestinal PERISTALSIS or INTESTINAL MOTILITY without any mechanical obstruction. This interference of the flow of INTESTINAL CONTENTS often leads to INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION. Ileus may be classified into postoperative, inflammatory, metabolic, neurogenic, and drug-induced.
Lymphangiectasis, Intestinal
Dilatation of the intestinal lymphatic system usually caused by an obstruction in the intestinal wall. It may be congenital or acquired and is characterized by DIARRHEA; HYPOPROTEINEMIA; peripheral and/or abdominal EDEMA; and PROTEIN-LOSING ENTEROPATHIES.
Intestinal Volvulus
A twisting in the intestine (INTESTINES) that can cause INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION.
Intestinal Obstruction
Any impairment, arrest, or reversal of the normal flow of INTESTINAL CONTENTS toward the ANAL CANAL.
Intestinal Atresia
Congenital obliteration of the lumen of the intestine, with the ILEUM involved in 50% of the cases and the JEJUNUM and DUODENUM following in frequency. It is the most frequent cause of INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION in NEWBORNS. (From Stedman, 25th ed)
