Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 14 to 85 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • All patients with diagnosis of IPN (UK GUIDELINES) managed with percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) for 10 to 15 days and not showing significant improvement on PCD will be included

Who cannot join

  • Patient showing significant improvement on PCD within 10 days of its insertion.(Significant improvement on PCD is defined as resolution of fever, acceptance of enteral nutrition, decrease in total leukocyte count, reversal of organ system failure)
  • Sterile pancreatic necrosis
  • An acute intra abdominal event ( perforation of hollow viscus, bleeding, or the abdominal compartment syndrome) during or within 10 days after PCD insertion
  • Previous drainage or surgical necrosectomy for infected pancreatic necrosis (ERCP with or without papillotomy is allowed.)
  • Previous exploratory laparotomy for acute abdomen and diagnosis of pancreatitis during laparotomy

About this study

Official title: Timing of Surgical Intervention After Percutaneous Catheter Drainage in STEP UP Approach for Severe Acute Pancreatitis: a Randomized Controlled Stud

  1. To determine the appropriate timing of surgical intervention after Percutaneous Catheter Drainage (PCD) in infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN).
  2. To see the change in morbidity and mortality after changing the interval of surgery after PCD
Read the detailed description

In present study we plan to determine the appropriate timing of surgical intervention after PCD in step up approach of Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN).

The investigators also intend to evaluate the role of PCD in obviating the surgical intervention in the management of IPN and evaluate the risks \& benefits of extended treatment policy of PCD in step up approach of IPN in comparison to early surgery after PCD.

What participants receive

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

  • surgical intervention after percutaneous catheter drainageProcedure or surgery

    Patients who are not improving by day 10 after PCD insertion will be included in the present study and are randomized to group A (early surgery i.e. between 10-15days after PCD insertion ) or group B (Extended treatment with PCD with saline irrigation for more than 15days after PCD insertion)

Study groups in NCT01527084
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group AOtherundergo surgery between days 10 - 15 after PCD
Receives: Procedure: surgical intervention after percutaneous catheter drainage
Group BOthercontinued with PCD beyond 15 days and indications for surgery in them will be, 1. Persistent sepsis or symptoms 2. Worsening of clinical condition 3. Failure to thrive 4. Complications of SAP or PCD
Receives: Procedure: surgical intervention after percutaneous catheter drainage

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average duration of 5 weeks

  2. Reversal of existing organ failure

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average duration of 5 weeks

  3. New onset multiorgan failure or sepsis and systemic complications

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average duration of 5 weeks

  4. Locoregional complications

    Pseudocyst, Pancreatic fistula, Enteric fistula, Perforation of a hollow viscus, and bleeding requiring intervention

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average duration of 5 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of patients in which surgery would be avoided in Group B

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average duration of 5 weeks

  2. Pancreatic insufficiency (New onset Diabetes and steatorrhea)

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital discharge to end of our study period, an expected average duration of 1 year

  3. Total number of PCD catheters and catheter related interventions required, and catheter and drain related complications

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average duration of 5 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing surgical intervention after percutaneous catheter drainage in people with Acute Pancreatitis, run by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh at 2 sites 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 1 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 11 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

Mortality (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average duration of 5 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 11 Nov 2014.
