About this study

Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), more commonly known as Whipple's surgery is the mainstay treatment for pancreatic head and periampullary cancer. Factors contributing to PD outcomes are broadly categorized to disease-related, patient-related and operative factors. Whereas an inexhaustible list of study exists on looking at reducing PD complication rates with respect to the above-mentioned factors, it was only recently that more attention has been given to the impact of perioperative and intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. This study takes interest in the impact of intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. The objective of this investigation is to compare the outcomes with the use of intraoperative intravenous human albumin versus standard intraoperative fluid regimes.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized controlled trial being conducted at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Center (UKMMC) with two arms; the control and treatment arms. The treatment arm will receive intravenous human albumin intraoperatively whilst the control arm will receive standard intraoperative fluid regimes. Primary endpoint will be overall complication rates whilst secondary endpoints are length of hospitalization, length of ICU care, duration of gastroparesis, pancreatic fistula rates, surgical site infection rates, duration of surgery and intraoperative bleeding.

Beyond the intraoperative fluid regimes, postoperative care follows the standardised UKMMC Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols which saw an improvement in overall outcomes in patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomies (PD). Preoperative care will include nutrition optimisation, counselling, antimicrobial prophylaxis, perioperative glycemic control and near-zero fluid balance.

Data collection will include:

  1. preoperative data: age, sex, ethnicity, BMI on admission, date of admission, comorbidities and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional status classification. Further information will include biochemical markers such as serum albumin albumin, white cell count (WCC), renal functions. ii. Intraoperative information: duration of surgery, estimated blood loss, pancreatic duct size, pancreatic texture, amount and type of fluid administered, fluid balances and type of anastomoses. iii. postoperative data: fluid balances and renal function of postoperative day 1 to 3, duration of ICU stay, readmission to ICU, length of hospital stay, duration to standard feeds, grading of pancreatic fistula (where relevant), surgical site infection, duration to removal of urinary catheter, cardiac complications, renal and pulmonary complications, deep vein thrombosis, re-operation, and mortality.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Complications

    Complications are defined as any deviation from the normal postoperative course, graded from I to V following the Clavien-Dindo classification of complications whereby Grade I are mild complications not needing any additional interventions and Grade V equates to the most severe complication which is death.

    Measured: Postoperative complications are recorded from date of surgery to date of documented complications including death, assessed from date of surgery to date of discharge or death, whichever came earlier, for up to 12 months.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Length of Hospital Stay

    Duration of days of hospitalization

    Measured: From date of surgery to date of discharge or date of death, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 12 months

  2. Length of ICU stay

    Duration of stay in ICU (in days), where relevant

    Measured: From date of surgery to date of discharge or date of death, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 12 months

  3. Postoperative Pancreatic Fistula (POPF) rates

    Rates of postoperative pancreatic fistula

    Measured: From date of surgery to date of discharge or date of death, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 12 months

  4. Delayed Gastric Emptying

    Rates of prolonged gastroparesis

    Measured: From date of surgery to date of discharge or date of death, whichever came earlier, assessed up to 12 months

  5. Ease of surgery

    Measured in duration of surgery (in hours \& mins)

    Measured: Duration is measured from the start time till the end time of surgery and will be assessed at the end of surgery for up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Human albumin in people with Pancreaticoduodenectomy and Pancreatic Fistula, run by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre at 1 site in Malaysia.

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 2 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 16 Jun 2022. 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 Malaysia. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Ian Chik (+60123243404, ianchikmd@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Complications (time frame: Postoperative complications are recorded from date of surgery to date of documented complications including death, assessed from date of surgery to date of discharge or death, whichever came earlier, for up to 12 months.). 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 NCT04418739, which also lists 12 linked publications.

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 Jun 2022.
