About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Phase II Study of Isolation Procedure Versus Conventional Procedure in Distal Pancreatosplenectomy for Pancreatic Cancer

In the distal pancreatectomy (including pancreatic tail resection) for invasive ductal carcinoma of the pancreas, we evaluate the usefulness of a procedure of firstly transection of splenic arteries and veins (the isolation procedure group) compared to a conventional procedure of transection of the splenic vein at the end.

Being tested
Isolation procedure (RAMPS procedure), Conventional procedure

What participants receive

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

  • Isolation procedure (RAMPS procedure)Procedure or surgery

    In the Isolation procedure group, the transection of the root of the splenic artery and the pancreatic transection are performed first, followed by the transection of the splenic vein (mandatory procedure). At that time, the branch from the splenic artery (dorsal pancreatic artery), the branch to the splenic vein (left gastric vein, inferior mesenteric vein), and short gastric arteriovenous are also disconnected as soon as possible (recommended procedure). An operation to lift up the pancreatic neck from the dorsal portal vein or superior mesenteric artery to expose the splenic vein (so-called tunneling) is allowed. After that, lymph node dissection such as hepatoduodenal mesentery (No12), common hepatic artery perimeter (No8), lymph node dissection around SMA (No14p) was performed (recommended procedure), and at the end of the resection operation, the pancreas body/tail and spleen are mobilized and removed (required procedure).

  • Conventional procedureProcedure or surgery

    In the conventional procedure group, first, the pancreatic body and tail and spleen are mobilized (mandatory procedure), and the regional lymph nodes of the body and tail of the pancreas, such as the hepatoduodenal mesentery (No12 lymph node) and the common hepatic artery perimeter (No8), are removed. (Recommended procedure) and dissection of lymph nodes (No14p) around SMA (Recommended procedure), and after dissection of the gastro-splenic ligament and pancreas, transection of the splenic vein at the end of the resection procedure (required procedure) . However, in order to prevent bleeding and secure a safe field of view, early pancreatotomy is allowed.

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 23 Oct 2020.
