Trial summary

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major surgery burdened by important morbidity and mortality partially related to the altered nutritional status of the patients. The perioperative malnutrition is a major risk factor of postoperative complications and worsens the prognosis of the patients. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicentric, Randomized Trial Comparing Early Enteral Nutrition Versus Parenteral Nutrition After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a major surgery burdened by important morbidity and mortality partially related to the altered nutritional status of the patients. The perioperative malnutrition is a major risk factor of postoperative complications and worsens the prognosis of the patients. The perioperative artificial nutrition has for objectives to correct the preoperative malnutrition, and to maintain the nutritional status in the post-operative period. The current guidelines in surgery are in favour of a realisation of a perioperative artificial nutrition support that privilege the enteral nutrition. However, after pancreaticoduodenectomy, the total parenteral nutrition remains most usually used in the early postoperative period, although rare studies suggest a benefit of the enteral nutrition in term of reduction of the post-operative complications. Indeed, no recommendation was formulated concerning early enteral nutrition after pancreaticoduodenectomy because few studies were realized on its profits.

The data of the literature report rates of complications (essentially major) from 49 % to 59 % after major digestive surgery (not only pancreatic) on patients having received a total parenteral nutrition versus rates from 34 to 43.8 % in patients having received an early enteral nutrition.

A preliminary prospective study realized in the investigators centre showed a rate of 74 % complication versus 44 %, respectively in the total parenteral nutrition and early enteral nutrition groups (50 patients in every group, with p < 0.01. All the complications were listed prospectively).

Hypothesis :

The early enteral nutrition will allow, after pancreaticoduodenectomy, a decrease of, at least, 19 % complications of any stage according to the classification of Dindo-Clavien (59 % versus 40 %).

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients presenting one or several postoperative complications

    Data recorded during the period of hospitalization (an expected average of 3 weeks) and until control visit 3 months after surgery

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Nutritional status

    weight, BMI, Index of Nutritional Risk, blood albumin and prealbumin, during the period of hospitalization (an expected average of 3 weeks) and until control visit 3 months after surgery

    Measured: 90 days

  2. Infectious complications

    Percentage of patients presenting an infectious complication, and type of infectious complication

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

  3. Evaluation of the severity of the complications

    according to classification of Dindo-Clavien

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after the surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

  4. Pancreatic fistulas

    evaluation of the occurrence of pancreatic fistulas, grade B and C, in both groups of patients

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after the surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

  5. Hemorrhagic complications

    evaluation of the occurrence of hemorrhagic complications, grade B and C, in both groups of patients

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after the surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

  6. gastroparesis

    defined as the presence of the nasogastric probe 10 days after the surgery

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after the surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

  7. Duration of hospital stay

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after the surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

  8. Time frame of resumption of the intestinal bowel motion

    daytime of resumption of flatulencies and\or stools

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after the surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

  9. Time frame of resumption of the oral food and artificial nutrition weaning

    Measured: within the hospitalization time after the surgery (an expected average of 3 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total parenteral nutrition and Enteral nutrition in people with Pancreatic Disease, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 4 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 19 Apr 2012. 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 France. 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?

Contact Mustapha ADHAM, Professor (+33 4 72 11 62.61, mustapha.adham@chu-lyon.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients presenting one or several postoperative complications (time frame: 90 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 19 Apr 2012.
