About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Versus Open Pancreatoduodenectomy Following Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Borderline Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: An Multicenter Open-label Randomized Clinical Trial

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic versus open pancreatoduodenectomy following neoadjuvant chemotherapy for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer

Read the detailed description

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive tumors with an increasing incidence and constitutes the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Radical resection remains the potential curative treatments for selected patients, and the Miami international evidence-based guidelines suggest that minimally invasive resection is feasible, safe, and oncologically equivalent for PDAC patients compared with open surgery. Furthermore, minimally invasive pancreatomy was associated with better overall and disease-free survival.

However, only 15% to 20% PDAC patients are eligible for upfront surgery at the time of initial diagnosis. For borderline resectable PDAC, studies have confirmed that neoadjuvant therapy can provide more oncological benefits than upfront surgery, such as improved rates of margin-negative resection and decreased incidence of lymph node metastases. Additionally, short-term neoadjuvant therapy has been shown to improve postoperative survival. These findings support the use of short-term neoadjuvant therapy in borderline resectable PDACs, as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines.

Neoadjuvant therapy can lead to severe fibrosis in the localized tumor tissue, which may hinder dissection and increase the risk of dangerous and bloody surgery. Furthermore, most anatomically borderline resectable PDACs have a large diameter and are in close proximity to major blood vessels, making the surgical procedure more complex and challenging. To date, there is insufficient evidence to determine the feasibility and safety of minimally invasive pancreatectomy compared to open surgery after neoadjuvant therapy.

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic pancreatoduodenectomy (LPD) versus open pancreatoduodenectomy (OPD) for borderline resectable PDAC following neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) through a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial.

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Xianjun Yu, MD, PhD (+86-13801669875, yuxianjun@fudanpci.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative complications (time frame: 90 days after the surgery). 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 NCT04855331, which also lists 13 linked publications.

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 9 May 2023.
