About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial on Role of Octreotide in Preventing Pancreatic Fistula and Complications After Pancreaticoduodenectomy in Patients With Soft Pancreas

This randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims at assessing the influence of octreotide on pancreatic fistula or complications following pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with soft pancreas. Previously reported trials have included all types of pancreatic resections and have include all types of pancreas and have shown no clearcut benefit of octreotide after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Soft pancreas and normal sized duct are the risk factors for fistula following PD. This study's focus is on this select group of patients and aims to assess the role of octreotide in patients with soft pancreas.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Inj. Octreotide in people with Pancreatic Fistula, run by PVS Memorial 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 0 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Feb 2015. 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.

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?

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?

Pancreatic fistula (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT01301222, which also lists 4 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 24 Feb 2015.
