About this study

Official title: Proximal Roux-en-y Gastrojejunal Anastomosis on Delayed Gastric Emptying After Pylorus-resecting Pancreaticoduodenectomy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to evaluate whether the incidence of delayed gastric emptying (DGE) can be reduced by proximal Roux-en-y gastrojejunal anastomosis in comparison with the standard gastrojejunal anastomosis in pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (PrPD).

Read the detailed description

Delayed gastric emptying (DGE) is a common complication after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), occurring in 20% to 70% of the patients. DGE is usually not a life-threatening complication, but it contributes significantly to increased length of hospital stay, health care costs, and patient discomfort. In a recent study by Sakamoto et al, proximal Roux-en-y gastrojejunal anastomosis is associated with a reduced incidence of DGE after pylorus-resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy (PrPD); however, these results may have been biased because of the retrospective nature. Therefore, the investigators conducted the present randomized controlled trial (RCT) to evaluate the impact of the proximal Roux-en-y gastrojejunal anastomosis on reducing DGE following PrPD.

What participants receive

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

  • PrPD with proximal Roux-en-y gastrojejunal anastomosisProcedure or surgery

    the distal antrum was divided about 1 to 2 cm proximal to the pylorus ring, preserving more than 95% of the stomach. The proximal jejunum was divided approximately 2 to 4 cm distal to the duodeno-jejunal junction. After completion of the resection, the proximal end of the first loop of jejunum was then brought through the transverse mesocolon, and the gastrojejunal anastomosis (GJA) was performed in two layers by using 3-0 PDS sutures and 4-0 silk sutures in an end-to-side fashion. The jejunum was then divided 35 to 40 cm distal to the GJA, and the distal limb was brought separately through the transverse mesocolon to be placed in the duodenal bed for reconstruction of the pancreatojejunal anastomosis (PJA) and hepatojejunal anastomosis (HJA).

  • conventional PrPDProcedure or surgery

    After completion of the pancreatojejunal anastomosis (PJA) and hepatojejunal anastomosis (HJA), a hand-sewn, isoperistaltic GJA was performed 25 to 30 cm distal to the HJA in two layers by using 3-0 polydioxanone (PDS) sutures and 4-0 silk sutures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Delayed gastric emptying,rate

    The severity of DGE was classified into 3 grades (A, B, or C) according to the ISGPS's clinical criteria, based on the patient's clinical course and postoperative management, such as the need for NGT in the postoperative period or the inability to tolerate solid oral intake.

    Grade A was defined as needing the NGT for more than 7 days or reinsertion of the NGT after postoperative day 3, or as being unable to tolerate a solid diet by postoperative day 7.

    Grade B was defined as needing for NGT for 8 to 14 days after surgery or reinsertion of the NGT after day 7, or as being unable to tolerate a solid diet by postoperative day 14.

    Grade C was defined as needing the NGT for more than 14 days or reinsertion of the NGT after day 14, or as being unable to tolerate a solid diet by day 21.

    Measured: 60 days after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PrPD with proximal Roux-en-y gastrojejunal anastomosis and conventional PrPD in people with Pancreatic Cancer and Bile Duct Cancer, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Xiamen University 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 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 3 Nov 2016. 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.

Are results available for this study?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mingqiang Lin, Dr (8605922139708, 80218353@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Delayed gastric emptying,rate (time frame: 60 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 NCT02954302, 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 3 Nov 2016.
