About this study

Official title: The Effect of Peritoneal Lavage on the Incidence of Pancreatic Fistula and Related Complications After Pancreatoduodenectomy in Patients With Different Pancreatic Fistula Risk Scores

As one of the possible strategies to prevent pancreatic fistula, peritoneal lavage is still widely used in clinical practice, but it lacks more evidence of evidence-based medicine and recommendations of guidelines. Some clinicians believe that routine flushing after pancreatoduodenectomy wastes medical resources and has a negative impact on patients' comfort.

In this study, the investigators designed a multicenter prospective controlled trial to compare the effects of peritoneal lavage and natural drainage on the incidence of pancreatic fistula and related complications after pancreatoduodenectomy. To study the indications of peritoneal lavage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Post-operative Pancreatic Fistula (POPF)

    Presence of Amylase > 3 times the upper limit of normal in surgical drains

    Measured: 30 days post-operative

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Biliary fistula

    Output of bile from drains on or by POD 3, pancreaticojejunostomy leak should be ruled out

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  2. Post-Pancreatectomy Hemorrhage

    As defined by the International Study Group for Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS), grade A, B and C rates

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  3. Mortality

    Death related to surgical morbidity

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  4. Delayed Gastric Emptying

    As defined by ISGPS, grade A, B and C rates

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  5. Abdominal abscess or infection

    Collection >5cm in size, containing gas bubbles, determining systemic signs of infection

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  6. Gastrojejunal/Duodenojejunal fistula

    Fistula from gastro/duodenojejunostomy

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  7. Wound infection

    Superficial and Deep Surgical Site Incisional Infection

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  8. Length of Hospital Stay

    calculated from the day of surgery to the day of discharge, adding up the days after a possible re-admission

    Measured: 1 year post-operative

  9. Reoperation

    Need for new surgery due to severe morbidity

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

  10. Readmission

    New admission within 30-days of discharge from hospital

    Measured: 30 days post-operative

  11. drainage tube duration

    Retention time of abdominal drainage tube

    Measured: 90 days post-operative

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 3 inclusion and 4 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2023. 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 China. 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.

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

Contact Huanbing Zhu, PhD (15857174159, juvanbn@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-operative Pancreatic Fistula (POPF) (time frame: 30 days post-operative). 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 21 Apr 2023.
