Trial summary

Introduction: Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) comprise neoplasms with a wide range of benign and malignant varieties. The most common include serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms (SPPNs).

  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: A total of 63 patients with a clinical diagnosis of true exocrine pancreatic cystic neoplasms were enrolled in this prospective cohort study as a comprehensive sampling in our hepato-biliary pancreatic unit of our university hospital between June 2014 to January 2018. They were categorized into 4 groups: Group A(30 patients)that were diagnosed as serous cystic neoplasms, Group B(19 patients) that were diagnosed as mucinous cystic neoplasms, Group C(9 patients )that were diagnosed as intra-ductal papillary mucinous neoplasms and Group D(5 patients ) that were diagnosed as solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms.

Who may be able to join

  • any Age
  • both sex,
  • expected R0 resection,
  • Tumor of any size,
  • no previous pancreatic surgery with diagnosis of True exocrine pancreatic cystic neoplasms

Who cannot join

  • endocrinal pancreatic tumors,
  • solid pancreatic tumors,
  • previous pancreatic surgery,
  • recurrent pancreatic tumor,
  • Combined operation,
  • prior history of any malignancy and misdiagnosed cases discovered on postoperative pathological cases as pancreatic pseudo-cyst or endocrine tumors

About this study

Introduction: Pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs) comprise neoplasms with a wide range of benign and malignant varieties. The most common include serous cystic neoplasms (SCNs), mucinous cystic neoplasms (MCNs), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms (SPPNs).

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) are used to diagnose different PCNs types. The cyst fluid aspiration and analysis is performed in difficult differential diagnosis. Frequently, amylase and CEA levels are measured. The choice of surgery depends on cyst location and size and includes pancreatico-duodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes after pancreatic surgery when adopted as the management of true exocrine epithelial cystic neoplasms.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes after pancreatic surgery when adopted as the management of true exocrine epithelial cystic neoplasms.

Patients and methods: Between June 2014 and January 2018, 63 patients referred to our tertiary referral center with diagnosis of true exocrine cystic neoplasms of the pancreas accepted for surgery were included in the present prospective cohort study. Patients were categorized according to preoperative diagnosis into: serous cystic neoplasms (Group A: 30 patients), mucinous cystic neoplasms (Group B: 13 patients), intra-papillary mucinous neoplasms (Group C: 9 patients), whereas the last 5 patients diagnosed as solid pseudo-papillary neoplasms (Group D). Demographic data, perioperative data and univariate analysis for malignancy, recurrence and pancreatic fistula were collected and analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. the incidence of the pancreatic fistula

    detect pancreatic fistula by concentration of amylase level in drain

    Measured: 30 days postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. recurrence rate in percentage

    rate of recurrence after resection by computed tomography

    Measured: 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreas Cancer, run by Zagazig University.

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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

the incidence of the pancreatic fistula (time frame: 30 days postoperatively). 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 10 Oct 2022.
