About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Study: Comparison Between Extended and Standard Pancreatoduodenectomy

This study was designed to test the hypothesis that more extensive nodal and soft-tissue clearance in patients with adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas would improve survival without an increase in morbidity and mortality.

Read the detailed description

In Japan and in some western treatment centers, there has been a general belief that more extensive surgery may improve outcome for patients with localized, operable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Initial retrospective reports from centers in Japan suggested that 5-year overall survival rates in patients treated with pancreaticoduodenectomy plus extended lymphadenectomy were higher than those in patients treated by pancreaticoduodenectomy with standard lymphadenectomy. Subsequent prospective randomized trials performed in Europe and the United States failed to confirm a survival benefit from extended lymphadenectomy. Although they failed to confirm a survival benefit from extended lymphadenectomy, the studies had a few pitfalls. The need for Well-designed randomised controlled study is the starting point of our study. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that more extensive nodal and soft-tissue clearance in patients with adenocarcinoma of the head of the pancreas would improve survival without an increase in morbidity and mortality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Survival

    comparison of 2-year overall survival rate between standard and extended pancreaticoduodenectomy; number of surviving participants 2 years after surgery

    Measured: 2 year after surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Morbidity

    Number of participants with morbidity, such as bleeding, sepsis, pancreatic fistula, intra-abdominal abscess, wound infection, delayed gastric emptying, and diarrhea after standard and extended pancreaticoduodenectomy

    Measured: within 2 years after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Standard pancreatoduodenectomy and Extended pancreatoduodenectomy in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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 6 Jun 2014. 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jun 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Survival (time frame: 2 year after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00679913, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 6 Jun 2014.
