Telotristat Ethyl for Reducing Intraoperative Carcinoid Crisis in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors

ABSTRACT: This is a study to determine if a certain drug, called telotristat ethyl (Xermelo), can help reduce the chance of blood pressure and heart rate variations (known as carcinoid crisis) in individuals who have neuroendocrine tumors (also called carcinoid tumors). These complications can be life-threatening for patients who already have to experience challenging surgeries to remove their tumors. To determine if telotristat ethyl (Xermelo) will help reduce these complications during surgery, researchers will give the drug to study participants before surgery.
