About this study

Official title: Prospective Study Correlating External Biliary Stenting and Pancreatic Fistula Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Postoperative pancreatic fistula(POPF) is the most common complication of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Sometimes POPF is associated with biliary fistula(BF), or "mixed" fistula. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the severity of the fistulae, when present, is decreased with an external biliary stent in place.

Read the detailed description

n this single-center study we analyze patients who underwent elective PD from January_2014 to December_2017. Patients are divided into two groups: standard PD (ST-PD)vs PD with external biliary stent(PD-BS). Demographic, preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative variables will be analyze, including complications according to the Clavien-Dindo classification, and those specific to pancreatic surgeries, and mortality rates within 90 days of operation.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • External biliary stentProcedure or surgery

    The biliary stent consisted of a multi-perforated, natural rubber tube, measuring 3.5 mm in diameter, that we placed transanastomotically, with exteriorization sited at 20 cm utilizing the Witzel jejunostomy approach

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 complications (time frame: 90 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 NCT04654299, 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 21 Jun 2022.
