About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multi-center Investigation of Impact of the Endo GIA Reinforced Reload With Tri-Staple Technology During Distal Pancreatectomy

The aim of this study is to evaluate if the Endo GIA Reinforced Reload with Tri-Staple Technology reduce incidence of pancreatic fistula (ISGPF grade B and C) after distal pancreatectomy by a prospective, multi-center trial.

Read the detailed description

Reducing the incidence of pancreatic fistula is the most important issue in pancreatectomy. There is no certain view on the pancreatic resection method to reduce pancreatic fistula in distal pancreatectomy.This study will be conducted to scientifically investigate the impact of Endo GIA Reinforced Reload with Tri-Staple Technology in distal pancreatectomy. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the Endo GIA Reinforced Reload with Tri-Staple Technology reduce incidence of pancreatic fistula (ISGPF grade B and C) after distal pancreatectomy by a prospective, multi-center trial.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Endo GIA Reinforced Reload with Tri-Staple technology in people with Pancreatic Neoplasms, run by Wakayama Medical University at 11 sites 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites 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 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?

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?

Incidence of pancreatic fistula grade B/C (time frame: Ninety days after operation). 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 NCT02270554, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Jul 2016.
