Trial summary

Background: Recently it has been observed in pancreatic cancer that after apparently complete surgical resection, histological examination of the surgical specimen according to a standard protocol reveals tumor infiltration of the surgical margin in more than 50% of patients.

About this study

Official title: Pancreatoduodenectomy in Pancreatic and Periampullary Tumors: Initial Approach of the Superior Mesenteric Artery Versus Classical Approach: A Prospective, Randomized, Multicenter Study

Background: Recently it has been observed in pancreatic cancer that after apparently complete surgical resection, histological examination of the surgical specimen according to a standard protocol reveals tumor infiltration of the surgical margin in more than 50% of patients. To increase the resection margin and reduce such high infiltration rate, a new surgical approach based on the initial dissection of the superior mesenteric artery has been advocated.

Aims: To compare the rate of free resection margin (R0) and oncological results of two possible approaches to perform a pancreaticoduodenectomy in tumors of the head of the pancreas and peripancreatic area: the classic approach versus the initial approach of the superior mesenteric artery.

Methodology: Prospective, randomized, multicenter study in which patients with pancreatic and periampullary tumors undergo a pancreaticoduodenectomy. In a group the classical approach from the superior mesenteric vein will be performed and in the other group an initially dissecting the superior mesenteric artery approach will be carried out. 116 patients are required and the main variables considered are: free margin rates (R0) or infiltrated by tumor (R1), postoperative morbidity, mortality, local and systemic recurrence, disease-free interval and survival at 1, 3 and 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Superior mesenteric artery approach for pancreatoduodenectomy and Classic approach for pancreatoduodenectomy in people with Pancreatic and Periampullary Tumors, run by Fundación para la Investigación del Hospital Clínico de Valencia at 1 site in Spain.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 22 Jul 2020. 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 Spain. 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?

Rate of free resection margin (R0) (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT02803814, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 22 Jul 2020.
