About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled Study: Somatostatin Prevent Post-operation Pancreatic Fistula (POPF) in Intermediate Risk Patients After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

This study is designed to assess the preventive effects of somatostatin on post-operation pancreatic fistula in intermediate risk patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients assigned into the treatment group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) in addition to conventional treatments (including infection prevention, nutrition support and acid suppression therapy, etc.).The pancreatic fistula incidence will be monitored within 30 days after operation.

Read the detailed description

This is a multi-center randomized, controlled clinical trial. A total of 200 patients are expected to be recruited. Each trial center recruits subjects based on the sequential principle and inspect the inclusion and exclusion criteria after PD and subjects meeting the standard are assigned randomly to the treatment group or control group. Apart from conventional treatments (including infection prevention, nutrition support and acid suppression therapy, etc.), the treatment group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) of 250μg/h for 120h (total dose of 6mg/day x 5 days=30mg), beginning within 3 hours after the operation; the control group will accept conventional treatments other than the Stilamin.

The pancreatic fistula incidence, biochemical leak incidence, morbidity and number of other complications related to the pancreatectomy, length of stay in hospital, hospitalization cost, re-admission rate and re-operation rate will be monitored within 30 days after operation. Subjects will be visited for 5 times from the start to the end of the study.

Statistical Methods:Number of patients who had pancreatic fistula after surgery will be analyzed using Chi-square test.Secondary endpoints: Continuous variates will be described as mean± SD; attempted to be analyzed using analysis of variance. Categorical variates will be described as rate; attempted to be analyzed using Chi-square test.

What participants receive

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

  • SomatostatinDrug

    Also called Stilamin

    Patients in the Stilamin group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) of 250μg/h, beginning within 3 hours (Visit 1) after the operation and lasting for 120 hours (each subject will receive the Stilamin of 30mg in total), and other postoperative conventional treatment protocol remain unchanged.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of post-operative pancreatic fistula

    A clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula is now defined as a drain output of any measurable volume of fluid with an amylase level >3 times the upper limit of institutional normal serum amylase activity, associated with a clinically relevant development/condition related directly to the postoperative pancreatic fistula.

    Measured: 30 days after operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Somatostatin in people with Pancreatic Fistula, run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital 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 4 inclusion and 7 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 13 Feb 2020. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 post-operative pancreatic fistula (time frame: 30 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 NCT03349424, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 13 Feb 2020.
