Primary Outcome(s)
Secondary Objective: To evaluate :
- the safety of octreotide in CD by the recording of all SAEs
- the effect of octreotide on the mean number of smooth or liquid stools after octreotide LAR
- the effect of octreotide on the total number of bowel movements per day
- the effect of octreotide on the activity of CD by measuring the Harvey-Bradschaw Index before and after treatment
- the effect of octreotide on the systemic inflammatory reaction
- the effect of octreotide on gastrointestinal tract inflammatory reaction
- the effect of octreotide on health related quality of life
- To assess the number of patients responding to octreotide.
- To analyse possible parameters associated with a positive response to octreotide

Main Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the somatostatin analogue, octreotide, in Crohn Disease (CD) refractory diarrhoea, in addition to other CD treatments, through an open pilot study.
Primary end point(s): To evaluate the effect of subcutaneous octreotide 100 microg tid for 3 days followed by one intramuscular injection of octreotide LAR on the diarrhoea associated with CD. Criteria of judgement: number of smooth or liquid stools per day between 22 and 28 days after octreotide LAR IM injection
