Trial summary

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. These postoperative complications could delay postoperative resumption of adequate oral intake. Clinical study on postoperative feeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy is very limited. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Trial of Early Enteral Feeding After Pylorus Preserving Pancreatoduodenectomy

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. These postoperative complications could delay postoperative resumption of adequate oral intake. Clinical study on postoperative feeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy is very limited. Method of Nutritional support (Enteral feeding or total parenteral support)after pancreaticoduodenectomy is controversial.

  1. To evaluate whether early enteral nutrition may be a suitable alternative to total parenteral nutrition
  2. To evaluate whether enteral feeding improve nutritional status after pancreaticoduodenectomy
Read the detailed description

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is associated with a high incidence of postoperative complications. These postoperative complications could delay postoperative resumption of adequate oral intake. The use of TPN significantly increases postoperative complications, especially those associate with infections. However, method of Nutritional support (Enteral feeding or total parenteral support)after pancreaticoduodenectomy is controversial.

  1. To evaluate whether early enteral nutrition may be decreased the postoperative complications
  2. To evaluate whether enteral feeding improve nutritional status after pancreaticoduodenectomy
  3. To determine the optimal method for postoperative nutritional support

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Enteral Feeding and Total Parental SupportProcedure or surgery

    Also called Total Parental support: 1000 kcal /d on POD 1, : Velocity is progressively increased by 20ml/d, until full nutritional goal (25Kcal/Kg)

    Enteral Feeding : 20ml/hr on POD1

    • Velocity is progressively increased by 20ml/d until full nutritional goal (25Kcal/Kg)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Enteral Feeding and Total Parental Support in people with Pancreas Cancer and Bile Duct Cancer, run by Yonsei University 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 16 Dec 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the impact of early postoperative enteral feeding (time frame: Postoperative 21 days). 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 16 Dec 2008.
