  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects with peri-ampullary lesions and scheduled to receive pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) were designed as experimental group; subjects with pancreatic lesions and scheduled to receive distal pancreatectomy (DP) were designed as control group.
  • Subjects that already received PD for more than 6 months to join the study and aim to evaluate the effect of probiotics on gut microbiota and postoperative ascending cholangitis (POAC).

About this study

Official title: National Cheng Kung University Hospital

To determine whether probiotics have beneficial effect on gut dysbiosis and postoperative ascending cholangitis in patients with pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Read the detailed description

Gut dysbiosis and postoperative ascending cholangitis (POAC) occurred after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). To date, no clinical trial has evaluated the association between gut dysbiosis, POAC and probiotics. POAC is a common morbidity after pancreaticoduodenectomy or in obstructive jaundice patients with endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD). It frequently induces longer hospital stay and makes the major obstacle for postoperative chemotherapy. This phenomenon reveals the important role of ampullary vater in control of retrograde bacterial inflow into bile duct. However, the exact difference of gut microbiota after pancreaticoduodenectomy is still unknown. Probiotics is reported efficacy in restore the normal flora of gut microbiota. So, this study is to evaluate the effects of probiotics consumption, Yugart 2 bottles per day for 1 month on gut microbiota in control of ascending cholangitis before and after pancreaticoduodenectomy through the analysis of microbial community by next generation sequencing.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Yugart in people with Precancerous Lesions, run by National Cheng-Kung University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Nov 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 Taiwan. 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?

The effects of probiotics on the postoperative ascending cholangitis (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 13 Nov 2023.
