About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Modified Procedure of Digestive Tract Reconstruction Following Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the validity and safety of a modified operative procedure of digestive tract reconstruction following pancreatoduodenectomy which enables the pancreatic juice and bile to bypass at the pancreatointestinal anastomosis and merge at gastrointestinal anastomosis. It is anticipated that this procedure can decrease the risk of post-surgical pancreatic leakage and preserve the patients' digestive function as well.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is one of the most complicated surgeries in abdominal clinical practice. It is widely used in the treatment of pancreatic head carcinoma, periampullary carcinoma, chronic pancreatitis with intractable pain, pancreatic head mass which unable to rule out pancreatic cancer. PD was improved in many ways in the last 80 years and the post-surgical mortality has decreased under 5%. Since the resected region of PD is wide including gall bladder, billiary tract, duodenum, pancreas, stomach, jejunum and regional lymph nodes. It has a high prevalence of complications, of which pancreatic leakage is the most common and serious one with a prevalence rate of 5-25% and mortality rate 20-50%。 The objective of the present study is to evaluate a new surgical procedure used for the digestive tract reconstruction following PD. The new procedure enables the pancreatic juice and bile to bypass at the pancreatointestinal anastomosis and merge at gastrointestinal anastomosis which can decrease the risk of post-surgical pancreatic leakage and keep the digestive function of patients. A multicenter, randomized, controlled study is designed to observe the prevalence of pancreatic leakage, other post-surgical complications, hospital stay, medical costs, life quality and other indexes to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure. It is anticipated that through the study, this new procedure can be systematically verified if it is an ideal procedure of digestive reconstruction following PD which can be promoted into wider use.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Modified method of digestive tract reconstruction and Routine digestive tract reconstruction in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Periampullary Carcinoma, run by Southwest Hospital, China at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 29 Aug 2013. 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 China. 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 Huai-zhi Wang, M.D., Ph.D. (86-23-13996950719, whuaizhi@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Pancreatic Leakage (time frame: up to 12 months). 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 29 Aug 2013.
