OBJECTIVES

  1. To determine incidence of Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) after pancreaticoduodenectomy
  2. To determine role of serum amylase levels on day 1 to predict clinically relevant pancreatic fistula
  3. To determine risk factors for postoperative pancreatitis and postoperative pancreatic fistula

Primaryendpoint:

Incidence of post operative pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula.

Secondaryendpoints:

  1. to identify the possible predictors of post operative pancreatitis.
  2. to investigate the association between post operative pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

Inpatient admissions in Department of gastroenterology, Asian institute of gastroenterology, Hyderabad

Study population:

Patients who are supposed to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy Study design: Prospective observational study

Study period:

Study will be conducted till desired sample size achieved or March 2020 to march 2022

STUDY PROCEDURE:

Demographic, pathological and intraoperative data will be recorded in a prospectively maintained database populated from a combination of electronic patient records, preoperative imaging and anaesthetic charts. Preoperative clinical data included age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and the results of serum biochemical investigations including serum bilirubin, urea and amylase. The serum amylase measured throughout the study period is total amylase. Preoperative computed tomography images will beanalyzed to calculate pancreatic duct diameter at the line of transection of the pancreas anterior to the portal vein. Intraoperative data included reconstruction technique, texture of the pancreatic remnant and estimated blood loss. Blood loss data will be compiled from a combination of anaesthetic charts and perioperative blood transfusion data. Specimens will be dichotomized according to whether their pathology was associated with hard pancreatic parenchyma [pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and chronic pancreatitis] or with soft or normal pancreatic parenchyma (ampullary carcinoma, duodenal carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours and other lesions). Outcome data included length of stay in a critical care environment [defined as either an intensive care unit (ICU) or a surgical high-dependency unit (SHDU)] and length of postoperative hospital stay. All postoperative complications will be prospectively recorded and graded according to the International Study Group on Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) and International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) classifications and the Clavien-Dindo classification. Complications of ISGPS Grades B and C and Clavien-Dindo Grades III-V are considered clinically significant. Mortality will be recorded at 30-day and 90-day time-points.

Serum amylase will be systematically measured on POD1 and POD3 according to our institutional policy. No additional radiological or laboratory studies are required for the diagnosis of postoperative pancreatitis. No specific protocols for the treatment of POP will be followed during the study period because none are available. Due to the absence of a widely accepted definition, POP is defined according to Connor's definition1 as an elevation in serum pancreatic amylase above the upper limit of normal on postoperative day (POD) 0 or 1. At our institution, the upper limit of normal for serum pancreatic amylase is 100 U/L.

What is being measured

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

  1. To estimate incidence of Post operative Pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula among patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomies.

    After pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery, pancreatitis occurs it is a local inflammatory process occurring in the area of the pancreatic anastomosis after pancreas resection could induce increased systemic amylase concentration, Amylase normal range is 28--100, if it exceeds the upper normal limits it leads to post operative pancreatitis, pancreatic fistula is defined as persistent drainage of amylase rich fluid (3x > than upper limit of normal serum amylase) for greater than 3 days.

    Measured: 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreas Disease, run by Asian Institute of Gastroenterology, India at 1 site in India.

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 1 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 3 Jan 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 India. 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?

To estimate incidence of Post operative Pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula among patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomies. (time frame: 10 days). 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 NCT04514198, 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 Jan 2024.
