About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Study of the Usefulness of the Artery First Approach in Pancreatic Cancer With Pancreaticoduodenectomy

This study is aimed to evaluate difference of the 2 year recurrence free survival after pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic cancer between artery-first approach and conventional procedure groups.

Read the detailed description

The patients will be divided into 2 groups

conventional group: The patients who included this group will undergo conventional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) or pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD). We will identify and isolate superior mesenteric vein (SMV) before pancreatic resection. The surgeon will dissect tissue around superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and uncinate process of pancreas along the SMA.

Experimental group:

The patients who included this group will undergo PD or PPPD including total pancreatic mesopancreas excision and superior mesenteric artery approach. Before pancreatic transection, the surgeon will isolate superior mesenteric vein (SMV) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA). And the surgeon will dissect nerve plexus and lymph node around SMA. inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery (IPDA) and first jejunal artery will be identified and the surgeon will ligate according to surgical margin. Anastomosis will be performed as usual manners.

Postoperative manage is same in two groups. The investigators will compared 2 years recurrence free survival rate between conventional and experimental groups.

What participants receive

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

  • conventional pancreaticoduodenectomyProcedure or surgery

    In this subgroup, the surgeon will perform pancreaticoduodenectomy without isolation of superior mesenteric artery and dissection of nerve plexus and lymph node around superior mesenteric artery.

  • total mesopancreas excision including superior mesenteric artery first approachProcedure or surgery

    In this subgroup, the surgeon will identify and isolate superior mesenteric artery before pancreatic transection, they dissect soft tissues including nerve plexus and node around superior mesenteric artery.

What is being measured

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

  1. 2 years recurrence free survival

    locoregional or systemic tumor recurrence after surgery within 2 years

    Measured: 2 years after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. R0 resection

    Microscopic tumor clearance after surgery in pathologic result

    Measured: 7-10 days after surgery

  2. Recurrence pattern

    locoregional recurrence: around SMA, celiac axis, remnant pancreas, systemic recurrence: liver, lung, bone

    Measured: 2 years after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing conventional pancreaticoduodenectomy and total mesopancreas excision including superior mesenteric artery first approach in people with Pancreatic Cancer, Adult and Margin, Tumor-Free, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2022. 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 South Korea. 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 Woohyung Lee, MD. (+82-02-3010-3993, ywhnet@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

2 years recurrence free survival (time frame: 2 years after surgery). 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 20 Jul 2022.
