About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial Comparing Quality of Life and Nutritional Status Between Pylorus-preserving Pancreatoduodenectomy Versus Standard Pancreatoduodenectomy (QUANUPAD TRIAL)

This was a randomized unblinded single-centre trial. The main hypothesis of the study was that pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy reduces the incidence of delayed gastric emptying . Patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were randomized to undergo one of two types of surgical technique: pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy versus stardard pancreatoduodenectomy with antrectomy. The primary endpoint was the incidence and severity of delayed gastric emptying. Secondary endpoints were postoperative morbidity and mortality, length of hospital stay, and nutritional status and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

This was a randomized unblinded single-centre trial without masked evaluation of the main outcome.The authors decided to compare pancreatoduodenectomy with antrectomy versus pancreatoduodenectomy with pyloric preservation. The primary aim of this randomized clinical trial was to determine whether pancreatoduodenectomy with pyloric preservation is associated with a lower incidence and severity of delayed gastric emptying. Secondary endpoints were postoperative complications, postoperative mortality and duration of hospital stay. Patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy were randomized to undergo one of two types of gastroenteric anastomosis for reconstruction. Analytical parameters such as C-reactive protein, prealbumin, and albumin; as well as anthropometric measures (mean) as preoperative arm circumference mean and tricipital skinfold mean were registered preoperatively, at 5th week, and at 6th mounth. Scintigraphic study had performed following a specific protocol for gastric emptying. At the end, quality of life was also analized with a quality of life questionnaire (QLPAN26) preoperativelly and postoperatively.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence and severity of DGE

    Nasogastric tube not removed before the 10th postoperative days or if liquids were not tolerated before the 14th postoperative day

    Measured: within the first 90 days after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Postoperative morbidity

    Appearance of any complication during the hospital stay

    Measured: within the first 90 days after surgery

  2. Postoperative mortality

    Any death that happens during the hospital admission or within 90 days after surgery

    Measured: within the first 90 days after surgery

  3. Length of hospital stay

    Postoperative hospital stay after pancreatoduodenectomy

    Measured: within the first 90 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pancreatoduodenectomy with antrectomy and Pylorus-preserving pancreatoduodenectomy in people with Delayed Gastric Emptying, run by Hospital Universitari de Bellvitge.

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 13 Jun 2019. 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?

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?

Incidence and severity of DGE (time frame: within the first 90 days after surgery). 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 NCT03984734, 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 13 Jun 2019.
