About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Antecolic and Retrocolic Gastrointestinal Reconstruction in Delayed Gastric Emptying After Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of delayed gastric emptying in patient with pancreaticoduodenectomy between antecolic and retrocolic gastrointestinal reconstruction.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of delayed gastric emptying in patient with pancreaticoduodenectomy between antecolic and retrocolic gastrointestinal reconstruction. Delayed gastric emptying after pancreaticoduodenectomy is important to affect the postoperative course and QOL. We conducted a prospective randomized trial on 240 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy for comparing between antecolic and retrocolic gastrointestinal reconstruction.

The primary endpoint was defined as incidence of delayed gastric emptying by ISGPS criteria. The secondary endpoint was defined as incidence of other postoperative morbidity. Patients were recruited into this study before surgery, on the basis of whether pancreatic head resection was anticipated for pancreatic head and periampullary disease, and an appropriate informed consent was obtained. Exclusion criteria was 1) patients who have the history of gastrectomy, 2) patients who have severe cardiorespiratory dysfunction, 3) patients who have liver cirrhosis or are receiving dialysis, and 4) patients who were diagnosed inadequate for this study by a physician.

What participants receive

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

  • Retrocolic gastro- or duodeno- jejunostomy in hte pancreaticoduodenectomyProcedure or surgery

    The duodenojejunostomy or gastrojejunostomy was constructed in two layers or single layer. For the retrocolic reconstruction, the jejunal loop was anastomosed to the duodenum or stomach through a separate mesocolic window on the left of the middle colic vessels.

  • Antecolic gastro- or duodeno- jejunostomy in the pancreaticoduodenectomyProcedure or surgery

    The duodenojejunostomy or gastrojejunostomy was constructed in two layers or single layer. For the antecolic reconstruction, the jejunal loop about 30 cm distal to the hepaticojejunostomy, was brought up anterior to the transverse colon and anastomosed to the duodenum or stomach.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incident rate of delayed gastric emptying

    DGE represents the inability to return to a standard diet by the end of the first postoperative week and includes prolonged nasogastric intubation of the patient. Three different grades (A,B,and C) were defined based on the impact on the clinical course and on postoperative management by ISGPS.

    Measured: during hospital stay after surgery, an expected average of 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Retrocolic gastro- or duodeno- jejunostomy in hte pancreaticoduodenectomy and Antecolic gastro- or duodeno- jejunostomy in the pancreaticoduodenectomy in people with Postprocedural Delayed Gastric Emptying, run by Kobe University at 1 site in Japan.

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 1 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 1 Apr 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 Japan. 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?

Contact Ippei Matsumoto, MD (+81-78-382-6302, imatsu@med.kobe-u.ac.jp), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incident rate of delayed gastric emptying (time frame: during hospital stay after surgery, an expected average of 3 weeks). 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 NCT01460550, which also lists 19 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 1 Apr 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
