About this study

Official title: A Randomised Controlled Trial of Pancreaticogastrostomy Versus Pancreaticojejunostomy in Reconstruction After Pancreaticoduodenectomy for Cancer

There are two principal ways of draining the remnant of the pancreas back into the intestine after removal of the head of the pancreas for cancer. This can be performed either to the jejunum or to the stomach. The aim of this study is to randomly allocate consenting patients to one of the two arms to study whether the leak rates from the anastomosis and the outcomes after the surgery are affected.

Previous papers have shown similar results in both groups although non randomized data suggested that the Pancreaticogastrostomy (drainage into the stomach) may be superior

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing type of anastomosis after pancreaticoduodenectomy in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Fistula, run by Lakeshore Hospital at 1 site in India.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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 27 Sep 2011. 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 India. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

pancreatic fistula rate (time frame: 30 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 27 Sep 2011.
