Trial summary

Clinically-relevant post-operative fistula is a major complication after DP, but it did not affect post-operative therapeutic path nor oncologic long-term outcomes. CR-POPF was not a predictive factor for disease recurrence and it was not associated with an increased incidence of peritoneal or local relapse. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Oncologic Impact of Pancreatic Fistula After Distal Pancreatectomy for Pancratic Ductal Adenocarcinoma oh the Body and the Tail : a Multicentre Retrospective Cohort Analysis / POPF-DSS (Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula - Disease Specific Survival)

Clinically-relevant post-operative fistula is a major complication after DP, but it did not affect post-operative therapeutic path nor oncologic long-term outcomes. CR-POPF was not a predictive factor for disease recurrence and it was not associated with an increased incidence of peritoneal or local relapse.

Read the detailed description

POPF is the most common and feared complication after distal pancreatectomy (DP), increasing morbidity and mortality. Recent evidences suggest that POPF can also play a role in pancreatic cancer recurrence. Adult patients with a diagnosis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) of the body and tail of the pancreas, undergoing curative DP, over a ten-year period in twelve European Surgical Departments were retrospectively collected from a prospective implemented database. Cohort studied included 283 patients, 139 were men (49.1%), median age was 70 years-old (range 37-88). A total of 121 POPF were observed (42.8%), 42 of them (14.9%) were CR-POPF. Median follow-up period was 24 months (range 3-120). Although poorer in the POPF group, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) did not differ significantly when comparing patients with and without CR-POPF (p= 0.224 and p= 0.165, respectively). CR-POPF was not significantly associated with local or peritoneal recurrence (p=0.559 and p=0.302, respectively). Less patients after POPF (76.2% versus 83.8%) benefited from adjuvant chemotherapy but the difference was not significant (p=0.228). CR-POPF is a major complication after DP, but it did affect neither the post-operative therapeutic path nor oncologic outcomes. CR-POPF was not a predictive factor for disease recurrence and it was not associated with an increased incidence of peritoneal or local relapse.

What is being measured

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

  1. impact of clinically relevant (CR-) POPF

    The primary aim of this study is to assess the impact of clinically relevant (CR-) POPF on patient disease specific survival (OS and DFS) after curative distal pancreatectomy.

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. identifying positive and negative prognostic factors

    Secondary end-points of the analysis are aimed at identifying positive and negative prognostic factors and at investigating the role of POPF in specific site recurrence.

    Measured: 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of PDAC of the Body and the Tail of the Pancreas and CR- POPF, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site in France.

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 16 Apr 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 France. 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?

impact of clinically relevant (CR-) POPF (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT04348084, 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 16 Apr 2020.
