About this study

Official title: Short and Long-term Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Pancreatoduodenectomy Combined with Triangle Operation for Resectable Pancreatic Cancer: an International Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if traditional pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) combined with TRIANGLE (extended PD surgery) can increase disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with pancreatic head cancers compared to traditional minimally invasive PD. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does extended PD surgery increase disease-free survival (DFS)?
  • Does extended PD surgery could improve postoperative and long-term quality of life for patients? Researchers will compare extended PD surgery to traditional PD surgery to see if extended PD surgery could extend the survival time of patients.

Participants will:

  • Accept traditional minimally invasive PD surgery or minimally invasive PD combined with TRIANGLE surgery.
  • Visit the clinic once every 3 months for checkups and tests.
  • Keep a diary of their symptoms.
Read the detailed description

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) currently stands as the sole option for treating resectable pancreatic head cancer; however, the long-term post-operative survival quality of patients remains unpromising. According to statistics from international multicenter studies, the 5-year survival rate of patients post-surgery does not exceed 20%. The principal causes for the suboptimal survival quality are the high recurrence and metastasis tendencies of pancreatic cancer, along with its low sensitivity and poor response to the existing neoadjuvant therapy. In contrast to traditional PD, PD combined with the TRIANGLE procedure (expanded PD) enables more thorough resection, effectively addressing the early recurrence and metastasis issues of pancreatic cancer and holds significant potential in enhancing patients' long-term survival quality. Nevertheless, there exists no high-level clinical evidence regarding the improvement of short-term complications for this surgical approach. Simultaneously, minimally invasive pancreatic surgeries have been demonstrated in high-throughput pancreatic centers to improve patients' short-term quality of life, yet the effect on long-term prognosis remains ambiguous. Hence, our center innovatively proposes minimally invasive PD in combination with the TRIANGLE procedure for the treatment of resectable pancreatic cancer, with the aim of integrating the advantages of both intervention measures to improve patients' post-operative quality of life and long-term survival quality.

This research will carry out a randomized controlled trial on patients with resectable pancreatic cancer who are scheduled to undergo minimally invasive PD in six Chinese centers and two foreign centers, comparing the prognostic disparities between traditional PD and the expanded PD procedure. The primary outcome measure is the postoperative disease-free survival (DFS), defined as "the time from randomization to disease recurrence or death for any reason." The projected enrollment period is 15 months, and the follow-up duration is 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-free survival after resection

    the primary outcome was DFS defined "as the time from randomisation until disease recurrence or death from any cause"

    Measured: 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 months after surgery (or early termination of the trial)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. the rate of microscopically complete margin clearance

    the rate of >0.1 cm margin clearance, R0(CRM-)

    Measured: Intraoperative

  2. the rate of microscopic margin clearance ≤ 0.1 cm

    rate of R0(CRM+)

    Measured: Intraoperative

  3. the rate of microscopic margin involvement (R1) resections

    the rate of R1 resection, defined according to the 8th edition of the UICC TNM classification

    Measured: Intraoperative

  4. the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula

    the POPF was defined by the International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS)

    Measured: Day of discharge, postoperative days 5, 10-12 and 90

  5. the rate of postpancreatectomy haemorrhage

    PPH was defined by the ISGPS

    Measured: Day of discharge, postoperative days 5, 10-12 and 90

  6. the rate of delayed gastric emptying

    DGE was defined by the ISGPS

    Measured: Day of discharge, postoperative days 5, 10-12 and 90

  7. the rate of bile leakage

    Bile leakage was defined by the International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS)

    Measured: Day of discharge, postoperative days 5, 10-12 and 90

  8. the rate of lymphatic fistula

    Lymphatic fistula was defined by the ISGPS

    Measured: Day of discharge, postoperative days 5, 10-12 and 90

  9. the rate of diarrhoea

    Diarrhoea was graded by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0

    Measured: Day of discharge, postoperative days 5, 10-12 and 90

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Expanded pancreaticoduodenectomy surgery and Pancreaticoduodenectomy in people with Pancreatic Cancer Resectable, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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 25 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Disease-free survival after resection (time frame: 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 months after surgery (or early termination of the trial)). 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?
