About this study

Official title: Pancreatic Anastomosis After Duodenopancreatectomy: Pancreatogastrostomy Versus Blumgart Anastomosis: Prospective, Randomized and Multicentric Study

A national, multicenter, randomized, prospective, parallel group clinical study to evaluate two therapeutic strategies (invaginating pancreatogastric anastomosis versus Blumgart anastomosis).

Read the detailed description

Background: Postoperative pancreatic fistula is currently the most frequent complications after duodenopancreatectomy. There are currently no RCT comparing two of the most frequently used method of pancreato-enteric anastomosis (invaginating pancreatogastric anastomosis versus Blumgart anastomosis)

Hypothesis: in patients with resectable pancreatic and periampullary tumors, performing a Blumgart (AB) anastomosis for pancreatoenteric reconstruction after duodenopancreatectomy decreases the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (PPF) compared to to pancreatogastric anastomosis.

Main goal: To comparatively evaluate the rate of PPF in patients with pancreatic and periampullary tumors undergoing cephalic duodenopancreatectomy after reconstruction with Blumgart anastomosis or pancreatogastric anastomosis.

Being tested
Blumgart Anastomosis, Pancreatogastric anastomosis.
Medical subject headings
Pancreatic Neoplasms

What participants receive

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative pancreatic fistula rate (PPF)

    The post-operative pancreatic fistula (PPF) rate will be measured using the definition of the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) : any measurable amount of fluid from a drain placed during the operation or percutaneously, with an amylase concentration greater than three times the plasma value.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Bleeding

    According to the definition of the International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery. which grades the severity of bleeding according to the clinical situation, diagnosis and need for treatment.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Gastric Emptying Delay (GED)

    According to the definition of the International Study Group on Pancreatic Surgery, which establishes the existence of GED when a nasogastric tube is needed for more than 3 days or is placed from the third day of the postoperative period, as well as intolerance to an oral diet at the end of the first postoperative week.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Biliary Fistula

    According to the definition of the International Study Group of Liver Surgery, which defines it as any measurable amount of fluid from a drain placed during the operation or percutaneously, with a concentration of bilirubin greater than three times the plasma value as of the third post-operative day.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Other complications.

    All complications that may occur during the first 90 days of the postoperative period (including the mortality rate) should be collected and classified according to the Clavien-Dindo classification and the Comprehensive Complication Index (CCI)

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blumgart Anastomosis and Pancreatogastric anastomosis. in people with Pancreatic Anastomotic Leak and Pancreatic Neoplasms, run by Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Clínico de Valencia at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 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 Oct 2024. 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 Spain. 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?

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?

Postoperative pancreatic fistula rate (PPF) (time frame: 3 months). 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 21 Oct 2024.
