About this study

Official title: Laparoscopic Radical Antegrade Modular Pancreatosplenectomy Versus Laparoscopic Distal Pancreatosplecnectomy in Selected Left-sided Pancreatic Cancer: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

This multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial proposed the criteria for selecting patients with early-stage left-sided pancreatic cancer and aimed to compare the perioperative and oncological outcomes of patients within the criteria who underwent laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy versus laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy.

Read the detailed description

Although prospective comparative studies are lacking, laparoscopic distal pancreatosplenectomy (LDP) was considered to be feasible, safe, and oncologically equivalent for treating pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the extent of posterior resection and the oncological safety of achieving complete N1 lymph node resection in LDP remain uncertain. Strasberg proposed radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (RAMPS) for the treatment of resectable left-sided PDAC and confirmed that this technique can achieve negative margins and satisfactory survival. Given the oncological equivalence of laparoscopic radical antegrade modular pancreatosplenectomy (LRAMPS) and its advantages in short-term outcomes, several studies have assessed the feasibility of LRAMPS as the standard treatment for resectable left-sided PDAC. However, previous studies on LRAMPS have mostly included tumors staged T2 and above, and there is currently no research on the routine use of LRAMPS for early-stage tumors. We proposed the criteria for selecting patients with early-stage left-sided PDAC: (1) diameter ≤ 4 cm; (2) located ≥ 1 cm from the celiac trunk; (3) didn't invade the fascial layer behind the pancreas. This multicenter open-label randomized controlled clinical trial aims to compare the perioperative and oncological outcomes of patients within the criteria who underwent LRAMPS versus LDP.

What participants receive

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

  • LRAMPSProcedure or surgery

    For LRAMPS procedure, Gerota's fascia and perirenal fat capsule are removed, and the procedure is divided into anterior LRAMPS and posterior LRAMPS depending on whether the left adrenal gland is resected. The N1 station lymph nodes (i.e., groups 10, 11, and 18) in the body and tail of the pancreas are removed. If the tumor is located near the pancreatic body, the No. 9 lymph node group is additionally removed.

  • LDPProcedure or surgery

    For LDP procedure, the dissection plane is located behind the fusion fascia. The N1 station lymph nodes (i.e., groups 10, 11, and 18) in the body and tail of the pancreas are removed. If the tumor is located near the pancreatic body, the No. 9 lymph node group is additionally removed.

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?

R0 retroperitoneal margin rate (time frame: From the date of surgery to 1 month after surgery.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05939063, which also lists 14 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 24 Nov 2023.
