About this study

Official title: Prevention for Surgical Site Infection After Pancreatic Resection

This study evaluated that strict control of perioperative blood glucose following pancreatic resection by using an artificial pancreas would improve postoperative surgical site infection.

Read the detailed description

This study recruited 50 patients undergoing elective pancreatic resection for pancreatic diseases. Perioperative blood glucose concentration was continuously monitored using an artificial pancreas system. We prospectively divided into two groups: one for whom glucose levels were controlled using a manual injection of insulin according to the commonly used sliding scale and another that received programmed infusion of insulin determined by the control algorithm of the artificial pancreas.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing the closed-loop STG-22 system (Nikkiso Inc, Tokyo, Japan) in people with Pancreatic Diseases, 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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2009. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Takehiro Okabayashi, MD (81-88-880-2370, tokabaya@kochi-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the incidence of surgical site infection (time frame: 30th postoperative day). 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 29 Jan 2009.
