About this study

Official title: Magnetic Compressive Anastomosis for Biliojejunostomy and Pancreaticojejunostomy During Whipple's Procedure: a Prospective Case-control Study

Magnetic anastomosis has been attempted in biliary and intestinal reconstruction. Based on our initial experience, the investigators have successfully utilized magnetic anastomosis for biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy during pancreaticoduodenectomy. The current study was to design a prospective and case-control study with utilization of magnetic compression anastomosis for pancreaticojejunostomy and biliojejunostomy in Whipple's procedure versus traditional hand-sewn technique on the postoperative morbidity, such as biliary/pancreatic fistula, hemorrhage, anastomotic stenosis, etc. In addition, the investigators are seeking to assess the safety and formation of the anastomosis by magnetic technique.

Read the detailed description

The magnets used in the current study consists of a mother and daughter magnets. An 8-Fr nasogastric tube is tightly fixed with the mother magnet, which will be used for bile or pancreatic drainage before formation of anastomoses. The outside diameter (OD) of the magnets ranges from 5mm to 15mm. In fact, for biliojejunostomy, larger magnets are applied, whereas for pancreaticojejunostomy, smaller magnets are routinely used. This study is a single-center, parallel controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of magnetic compression technique for biliojejunostomy and pancreaticojejunostomy, versus traditional hand-sewn techniques on the postoperative morbidity of the patients. And also how to avoid mutual attraction of the two pairs of magnets, formation of bilio-/pancreaticojejunostomy time, discharge rule of the magnets will be all evaluated in the current study.

    Separate operation time of magnetic anastomosis for bilio- and pancreaticojejunostomy

    Measured: during operation

  2. average length of postoperative hospital stay

    length of hospital stay (days) after surgery

    Measured: 1 to 4 weeks postoperation

  3. Hospitalization cost

    cost in hospital

    Measured: 1 to 4 weeks postoperation

  4. incidence of biliojejunostomic stricture

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic Compressive Anastomosis in people with Cholangiocarcinoma and Pancreatic Neoplasms, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University at 2 sites in China.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Yi Lv, MD,PHD (0086-13991200581, luyi169@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of anastomotic fistula (time frame: 1 month post operation). 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 18 Nov 2019.
