About this study

Official title: A Pilot Study of the Effect of Prehabilitation on Markers of Sarcopenia in Patients Undergoing Pancreatoduodenectomy for Malignant Disease

The aim of this study is to assess whether prehabilitation supervised by an appropriate multimodality team improves indices of sarcopenia in patients scheduled to undergo pancreatoduodenectomy.

Read the detailed description

Cachexia is a hallmark feature of pancreatic cancer. Patients with features of cachexia have worse clinical outcomes. This includes a reduction in quality of life, reduced tolerance of therapy and a poorer prognosis . Specifically related to patients undergoing pancreatic surgery clinical evidence of cachexia is associated with higher perioperative complication rates. Sarcopenia, defined as a decreased muscle mass independent of fat mass, is a feature of the cachexia associated with pancreatic cancer. Patients with sarcopenia have progressive and generalised reduced muscle mass and function In patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic cancer sarcopenia has been associated with increased rates of complication and worse survival . Treatment of sarcopenia is difficult but includes nutritional support and pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) aimed at reducing malabsorption. Whether measures aimed at combating sarcopenia can improve clinical outcomes following pancreatic surgery is currently unknown.

Prehabilitation is a multimodal therapeutic regimen aimed at improving the overall physical condition of patients prior to surgery with the intention of reducing the incidence of perioperative complications. Emerging evidence suggests that exercise prior to surgery for high risk patients scheduled to undergo major abdominal surgery improves aerobic capacity and can reduce the incidence of perioperative complications . The impact of prehabilitation undertaken prior to pancreatic surgery on perioperative complication rates has not yet been investigated.

The aim of this study is to assess whether prehabilitation supervised by an appropriate multimodality team improves indices of sarcopenia in patients scheduled to undergo pancreatoduodenectomy.

What participants receive

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

  • PrehabilitationProcedure or surgery

    Participants who underwent Prehabilitation will have their CT scans analysed.

  • Standard ProcedureProcedure or surgery

    Patients who underwent a panctratoduodenectomy and did not receive any Prehabilitation will have their CT scans analysed and compared.

Study groups in NCT03770117
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PrehabilitationIn this arm of the study, participants will undergo prehabilitation prior to surgery. This is intended to increase the participants overall health prior to surgery to try and increase their general well-being during and after surgery. Prehabilitation is multimodal therapy comprising: 1. Assessment for malnutrition and nutritional support dependent on the outcome 2. Optimisation of management of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency 3. Assessment of muscle mass and strength 4. Individually tailored, goal directed exercise regimen under the care of physiotherapy
Receives: Procedure: Prehabilitation
Standard ProcedureIn this arm, participants will not receive any Rehabilitation prior to the surgery. This is the current standard care and will act as the control data for this study.
Receives: Procedure: Standard Procedure

What is being measured

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

  1. CT Scan Comparison

    CT Scans from patients which underwent the Prehabilitation \& standard care will be compared.

    Measured: Within last 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma, run by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2021. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

CT Scan Comparison (time frame: Within last 5 years.). 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 19 Jan 2021.
