Study Overview

The Effect of Application of TachoSil® in Pancreatoduodenectomy

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.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

Design Details

Primary Purpose:
Prevention


Allocation:
Randomized


Interventional Model:
Parallel


Masking:
Single


Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: application of TachoSil®

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

DRUG: Fibrinogen/thrombin-coated collagen patch

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

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

Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Incidence of pancreatic fistulaThe 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 fistulaThe 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 Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Incidence of complication except for pancreatic fistulaComplications other than pancreatitis include all complications after pancreatoduodenectomy. Delayed gastric emptying and postoperative bleeding complied with the criteria of the International Study Group, and the severity of complications is classified through the Clavien-Dindo classification.Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Removal time of drainageThe timing of removal of the drain tube is determined based on the time of removal of the last drain tube. The removal of the drain tube is assessed at the discretion of the surgeon.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
DeathThe results are for patients who died during hospitalization. If a patient is discharged within 30 days of discharge, the death rate is the same as during death.From date of surgery to 30 days after discharge
Re-admission rateIncludes all cases of re-admission after discharge due to problems associated with pancreatoduodenectomy. Except for cases not related to pancreaticoduodenectomy.Through study completion, an average of 1 year
Period of hospitalization after surgeryThe duration of the hospital stay is calculated based on the time when the actual patient is discharged.From date of surgery until the date of discharge, whichever came first, assessed up to study completion, an average of 1 year
