About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Preoperative Biliary Drainage on Outcome of Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) which is performed prior to pancreatoduodenectomy candidates with obstructive jaundice by observing the prevalence of drainage and surgery related complications, hospital stay, medical cost and life quality compared to surgery alone. It is anticipated that PBD can reduce the prevalence of complications and improve the outcome of pancreatoduodenectomy.

Read the detailed description

Obstructive jaundice is a common symptom in patients with pancreatic head cancer or peri-ampullary cancer. It is regarded that proper surgical resection is the only possible way of radical cure for those patients without evidence of metastasis. Since high preoperative bilirubin level is suggested to be a risk factor for pancreatoduodenectomy, preoperative biliary drainage has been applied to clinical practice to improve the outcome of surgery. However, results from previous studies have inconsistent results showing that PBD may have adverse effect on patients by elevating the prevalence of complications. Since PBD is widely performed worldwide, its value needs to be clarified. Thus the present study is designed to systematically evaluate the value of PBD via recruiting participants who may most likely benefit from PBD. It is anticipated that results from this study can present an instructive conclusion on whether PBD should be performed prior to pancreatoduodenectomy as well as reveal the preferable type of PBD.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Pancreatoduodenectomy, ENBD and Pancreatoduodenectomy and EBD and Pancreatoduodenectomy 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 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 14 Jan 2014. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Infectious Complications (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 14 Jan 2014.
