Study groupRoleWhat they receive
2ExperimentalThirty patients who underwent pancreatic resection for pancreatic neoplasm were prospectively randomized. Perioperative blood glucose levels were continuously monitored using an artificial endocrine pancreas (STG-22). Glucose levels were controlled using either the sliding scale method or the artificial pancreas.
Receives: Device: Artificial Pancreas (STG-22)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the incidence of severe hypoglycemia (< 40 mg/dl) during the intensive care period following pancreatic resection in patients monitored using the artificial pancreas

    Measured: the first postoperative 18 hours in the surgical intensive care unit

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the total amount of insulin required for glycemic control after pancreatic resection

    Measured: the first postoperative 18 hours in the surgical intensive care unit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Artificial Pancreas (STG-22) in people with Pancreatic Neoplasm, run by Kochi University at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the incidence of severe hypoglycemia (< 40 mg/dl) during the intensive care period following pancreatic resection in patients monitored using the artificial pancreas (time frame: the first postoperative 18 hours in the surgical intensive care unit). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2008.
