About this study

Official title: Results of Pancreaticogastrostomy Versus Pancreaticojejunostomy in Reconstruction After Cephalic Duodenopancreatectomy in Patients With Soft Pancreas and Small Pancreatic Duct

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the standards surgical procedure for various malignant and benign disease of the pancreas and periampullariy region. During the recent years, mortality rate of pancreaticoduodenectomy has decreased to 5% in specialized centers. Although, this procedure still carries considerable morbidity up to 40%, depending of definition of complications. Pancreatic fistula remains a common complication and the main cause of other morbidities and mortality. Pancreaticojejunal (PJ) anastomosis is the most often used method of reconstruction after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Several technique modifications such as placement of the stents, reinforcement of anasomosis with fibrin glue, pancreatic duct occlusion and pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) type of anastomosis was used in order to decrease pancreatic fistula rate. Since, some retrospective studies showed better results with some technique, several meta-analyses did not show any advantage of those various modifications. It was shown that the higher risk of pancreatic fistula was noticed in patients with soft residual pancreas and small diameter of pancreatic duct. There is only one randomized study in the literature dealing with this problem. This study did not reveal any significant differences between PG and PJ in patients with soft pancreas and small duct. In order to investigate once more this important issue, the researchers conducted randomized multicenter controlled trial.

What participants receive

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

  • Pancreatico gastro anastomosisProcedure or surgery

    After the pylorus preserving cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatico gasto teremino-lateral anastomosis will be performed. The anastomosis will be done with posterior wall of the stomach. Pancreas will be mobilized at least 5 cm, two tobaco stiches will be applied on posterior wall of the stomach and hole of 2 cm will be done in the middle. Anterior wall of the stomach will be opened, for easier placement of the pancreas in to the stomach cavity. Pancreas will be entered in the stomach trough , tobacco stitches tided and just 2 or 3 stitches will be applied on the stomach mucosa and pancreatic capsule. After that classic hepatico jejuno and antecolic duodeno jejuno anatomosis will ber performed.

  • Pancreaticojejuno anastomosisProcedure or surgery

    After the pylorus preserving cephalic pancreaticoduodenectomy, pancreatico jejuno termino lateral duct to mucosa anastomosis will be performed. After that classic hepatico jejuno and antecolic duodeno jejuno anatomosis will ber performed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pancreatico gastro anastomosis and Pancreaticojejuno anastomosis in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Pancreatic Anastomotic Leak, run by University of Belgrade at 4 sites in Serbia.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in Serbia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 Dejan Radenkovic, MD, PhD (+381 63 204 205, dejanr@sbb.rs), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

abdominal complications (time frame: 2 years). 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 NCT01324856, which also lists 3 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 11 Apr 2011.
