NCT03340844

Brief Summary

This multicentre, prospective and randomized study aims(1:1) to compare the rate of recurrence, metastasis and survival according to the levels of intraoperative circulating tumor cells (CTCs) during cephalic duodenopancreatectomy in patients with pancreatic and periampullary tumors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Circulating tumor cells (CTC´s)

    Change in the concentration of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) levels (nº CTCs/ mL blood) during the surgery, 4 blood samples will be taken from the portal vein

    During the surgery: at the beginning of surgery, immediately after disconnecting the pancreas from the portal vein, just at the moment the pancreatic resection ends and before the skin closed

  • Local tumor recurrence

    Presence (YES or NO) compatible images of local tumor recurrence Valid imaging tests of presence or absence can be checked by: computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (NMR)

    From the day of surgery to 3 years of follow-up

  • Metastasis

    Presence (YES or NO) compatible images of metastasis

    From the day of surgery to 3 years of follow-up

  • Patient survival

    Death (YES OR NO): number of patients dying during study

    From the day of surgery to 3 years of follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Morbidity

    From the day of surgery up to 6 weeks of follow-up

Study Arms (2)

No Touch (NT)

EXPERIMENTAL

Pancreatic and Periampullary Tumors resection by no-touch technique

Procedure: No Touch (NT)

Superior Mesenteric Artery First (SMA)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Pancreatic and Periampullary Tumors resection by superior Mesenteric Artery First technique

Procedure: Superior Mesenteric Artery First (SMA)

Interventions

No Touch (NT)PROCEDURE

Tumor resection by No-touch technique: dissection of hepatic hilum, dissection of superior mesenteric vein (SMV) in caudal aspect of pancreas, section of antrum, pancreatic neck section. Section-ligation of veins of duodenopancreatectomy part of SMV and portal. Then Kocher-uncrossing maneuver of the jejunal loop and final section of the retro-portal (back of the portal vein) blade.

No Touch (NT)

Tumor resection by SMA technique: Kocher maneuver extends to the left renal vein (LRV). Dissection above the LRV of the SMA (refer to vessel-loop). Then, SMA will be identified on the caudal side of the pancreas (mesenterial root) and progressive dissection until its origin in the aorta artery (previously referenced with vessel loop).

Superior Mesenteric Artery First (SMA)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \. Patients older than 18 years, with adenocarcinomas of the pancreas and potentially resectable periampullary tumors by cephalic duodenopancreatectomy or total duodenopancreatectomy indicated intraoperatively for technical reasons, who voluntarily agree to participate in the study and sign informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients in whom liver metastases or peritoneal carcinomatosis are detected during surgery.
  • Patients with neuroendocrine pancreatic tumors or cystic tumors.
  • Patients in whom tumor resection is not finally achieved because it shows intraoperatively that the tumor is locally advanced and unresectable.
  • Patients with macroscopic residual tumor (R2).
  • High-risk patients with severe pathology (ASA IV) according to the American Association of Anesthesiologists.
  • Patients receiving neoadjuvant therapy
  • Patients in whom the intraoperative pathological anatomy indicates borders of pancreatic resection affected
