NCT06123169

Brief Summary

The main objective of the study is to compare 2 broad-spectrum antibiotic (Piperacillin / Tazobactam) treatment modalities, following pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with preoperative biliary stent, to demonstrate the superiority of a 5-day post-operative antibiotic therapy to antibiotic prophylaxis on the occurrence of surgical site infections (SSI)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • presence of an organ/space SSI

    The primary End Point is the presence of an organ/space SSI determined according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's national nosocomial infections surveillance system. Organ/space SSIs include postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) and bile leakage, with positive culture results.

    90 days after the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Infectious complications at post-operative

    day 90

  • Correlation between post-operative bacteriological samples and intraoperative bile samples

    day 90

  • Bacteriological resistance profiles

    day 90

  • Correlation between bacteriological and fungal contaminations

    day 90

  • Specific morbidity due to pancreatic fistula, graded according to the International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) criteria

    day 90

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • Planned pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary neoplasms
  • Endoscopic or radiological pre-operative biliary drainage
  • Age ≥ 18 years old
  • Patient able to comply with the study protocol, in the investigator's judgment
  • Patient affiliated with, or beneficiary of a social security (national health insurance) category
  • Person of full age having read and understood the information letter and signed the consent form
  • Women permanently sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.
  • Postmenopausal women: A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindication to PIPERACILLIN/TAZOBACTAM PANPHARMA 4g / 500mg powder for solution for injection in accordance with its SmPC
  • Patients allergic to beta-lactam antibiotics
  • Others pancreatic resection
  • Absence of preoperative biliary drainage
  • Surgical or anaesthesiological contra-indications:
  • non-controlled congestive heart failure - non-treated angina - recent myocardial infarction (in the previous year) - non-controlled AHT (SBP \>160 mm or DBP \> 100 mm, despite optimal drug treatment), long QT
  • major non-controlled infection
  • severe liver failure
  • Medical, geographical, sociological, psychological or legal conditions that would not permit the patient to complete the study or sign informed consent
  • Any significant disease, which, in the investigator's opinion, would exclude the patient from the study
  • Pregnant or parturient or breastfeeding woman or absence of contraceptionn
  • Person deprived of liberty by administrative or judicial decision or person placed under judicial protection, under guardianship or supervision
  • Simultaneous participation in another interventional research with the same primary endpoint.
