About this study

Short description of the protocol intended for the lay public. Include a brief statement of the study hypothesis (Limit : 5000 characters) Pancreatic cancer has a poor prognosis. Surgical resection is the only curative treatment. Major pancreatectomies lead to high postoperative morbidity rate, up to 30%. For some tumors, limited resection are increasedly performed, but the rate of pancreatic fistula is even higher, up to 40%.

No precise "anatomic" pancreatic segmentation currently exists. If such segmentation is described, pancreatic resections, major of minor, may have better outcomes.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the existence of independent pancreatic segments, following the lymphatic drainage of the gland.

Read the detailed description

Extended description of the protocol, including more technical information (as compared to the Brief Summary) if desired. Do not include the entire protocol; do not duplicate information recorded in other data elements, such as eligibility criteria or outcome measures. (Limit : 32 000 characters) The prognosis and life expectancy for people with pancreatic cancer remain very low (3rd cause of mortality among all cancer). Surgical resection is the only curative treatment, whenever possible. Nevertheless, major pancreatectomies lead to high postoperative morbidity rate, in particular up to 30% fistula rate. In case of parenchyma-sparing procedures, this rate is even higher, up to 40%.

One of the reasons of these high rates might be explained by the fact that pancreatic transections are currently not performed following pancreatic segmentation. If possible, resection following vascular segmentation would prevent necrosis of the transection, resection following lymphatic segmentation would improve the lymph-node dissection, and resection following pancreatic-duct segmentation would prevent leakage from pancreatic duct stump. Nevertheless, no precise "anatomic" pancreatic segmentation currently exists.

On the other hand, the lymphatic system of the pancreas is highly complex, but the quality of the lymphadenectomy during pancreatectomy is essential since the recurrences almost always occur on the lymphatic transections. A better knowledge of the peri-pancreatic lymphatic vessels is still required.

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the existence of independent pancreatic segments, following the lymphatic drainage of the gland.

  • DyeOther

    Also called The dye will be the blue patent, widely used for the detection of the sentinel lymph node for breast cancer

    Cover key details of the intervention. Must be sufficiently detailed to distinguish between arms of a study and/or among similar interventions At the beginning of the surgical procedure, 1 ml of blue patent will be injected in the normal remaining part of the pancreas. The diffusion of the dye among all lymph node areas will be noticed by the surgeon.

What is being measured

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

  1. Lymph node areas colored by the diffusion of the blue patent

    At the beginning of the surgical procedure, 1 ml of blue patent will be injected in the normal remaining part of the pancreas. The diffusion of the dye among all lymph node areas will be noticed by the surgeon.

    Measured: 3 minutes after the injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dye in people with Pancreatic Resection, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 2 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 16 Dec 2019. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yohann RENARD (3 26 78 71 23 ext. 0033, yrenard@chu-reims.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Lymph node areas colored by the diffusion of the blue patent (time frame: 3 minutes after the injection). 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 NCT03597230, 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 16 Dec 2019.
