Trial summary

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the most performed pancreatic surgery for malignant or premalignant tumors of the region of the head of the pancreas. Its post-operative morbidity is very high, over 40%. There is very little data on the impact of microbiota on complications after pancreatic surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Correlation Between Complications After Pancreaticoduodenectomy and Biliary, Pancreatic, Blood, Oral, Intestinal and Fecal Microbiota

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the most performed pancreatic surgery for malignant or premalignant tumors of the region of the head of the pancreas. Its post-operative morbidity is very high, over 40%. There is very little data on the impact of microbiota on complications after pancreatic surgery. The purpose of this research is to study the correlation between the microbiota (fecal, blood, oral, biliary, pancreatic and intestinal microbiota) and the postoperative complications in patients who undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Read the detailed description

After pancreaticoduodenectomy, the post-operative complications can be surgical (pancreatic fistula, gastroparesis) but also infectious, digestive (diarrhea) and lead to malnutrition. They are responsible for prolonged post-operative hospitalizations, impaired quality of life of patients and induce a delay in the implementation of adjuvant chemotherapy, or even an impossibility to achieve it. The absence of adjuvant chemotherapy adversely affects the prognosis of patients, by increasing the rate of recurrence and decreased survival. There is therefore a real oncological benefit in finding solutions to reduce the number and severity of these complications. A change in post-operative microbiota composition has been shown to play a role in the development of post-surgical anastomotic fistulas in colorectal cancer. Despite their importance, there is very little data on the impact of microbiota on complications after pancreatic surgery. We postulate that microbiota variations could have an impact on early and late post-operative complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Any patient hospitalized at the Toulouse University Hospital with an indication of a pancreaticoduodenectomy will be offered to participate in this study. Microbiota analysis will be carried out on different samples: blood, stool and saliva samples will be collected during the surgery, between J5 and J10 (post-operative during hospitalization) and at 3 and 6 months after the surgery. Bile, pancreatic and intestinal mucosa samples will only be collected during the surgery. Complications will be collected throughout this study. This study will not create any additional constraints on patient management. The follow-up period will be 6 months. This follow-up period will be fixed for all patients included. The microbiota analyses will be centrally determined during the study.

    Microbiota analysis will be carried out on different samples: blood, stool and saliva samples will be collected during the surgery, between 5 and 10 days after surgery and at 3 and 6 months after the surgery. Bile, pancreatic and intestinal mucosa samples will only be collected during the surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Analysis of the microbiota

    the analysis of the microbiota on the per-operative samples (fecal, blood, oral, biliary, pancreatic and intestinal) in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy according to the occurrence of early post-operative complications (≤ 90 days)

    Measured: within 90 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Microbiota analysis in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by University Hospital, Toulouse at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 Apr 2025. 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 France. 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?

Analysis of the microbiota (time frame: within 90 days after surgery). 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 Apr 2025.
