NCT03269955

Brief Summary

Fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch (TachoSil®) is known to have the effect of strengthening tissue anastomosis and promoting suturing to prevent leakage. The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of pancreatic fistula that is most crucial for surgical outcome and complications in pancreaticoduodenectomy with those of the control group and the TachoSil® apply group. Patients who were planned to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy without a history of chronic pancreatitis are enrolled in this open-label, single-center, randomized, single-blind, phase 4 clinical trial.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Incidence of pancreatic fistula

    The evaluation of the pancreatic fistula was based on the international study group of pancreatic fistula (ISGPF). According to the criteria, evaluation of pancreatic fistula was evaluated by measuring the amylase level of the drain tube on the third postoperative day, and the pancreatic fistula was judged to be present when the amylase level was three times higher than the normal level of the amylase in the blood.

    At 3 days after surgery

  • Incidence of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula

    The grade uses ISGPF grading, while the grades B and C are clinically relevant pancreatic fistula. All patients underwent abdominal CT at 5 days postoperatively for grade evaluation.

    At 5 days after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Incidence of complication except for pancreatic fistula

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Removal time of drainage

    From date of surgery until the date of the last drainage removal, whichever came first, assessed up to study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Death

    From date of surgery to 30 days after discharge

  • Re-admission rate

    Through study completion, an average of 1 year

  • Period of hospitalization after surgery

    From date of surgery until the date of discharge, whichever came first, assessed up to study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (2)

application of TachoSil®

EXPERIMENTAL

Fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch (TachoSil®) and fibrin glue are applied to the pancreas anastomosis site in pancreatoduodenectomy

Drug: Fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch

control

NO INTERVENTION

Only fibrin glue alone is applied to the pancreas anastomosis site in pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Interventions

Tachosil® is cut in half and applied to the front and back of the pancreaticojejunostomy respectively, and fibrin glue is applied on it

Also known as: TachoSil®
