Study summary

Pancreatoduodenectomy is the standard surgical operation for benign or malign pancreatic lesions. Pancreatic Fistula (PF) or Postpancreatectomy Acute Pancreatitis (PPAP) are the major complications associated with that type of surgery. We need to develop preventive measures for these complications, which requires a better understanding of their physiopathology.

The aim of this prospective monocentric and observational study is to identify predictive biomarkers and/or risk factors for PF or PPAP using metabolomics. The Profiling of circulating metabolites is indeed an original and promising approach for this purpose. We will also investigate the patient's immune status and its association with the occurrence of post-surgical complications.

Participants will be adult patients scheduled to undergo elective pancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgery and patient's management will be as usual. During surgery, a fragment (0.1-0.2 g) of non-tumoral pancreatic tissue will be removed and frozen at -80°C for metabolomic analysis. For immunological assessment, 4 blood samples will be collected (before surgery and then 7 days, 1 and 3 months after, blood sampling).

Study population

The study population will be made of adult patients scheduled to undergo elective pancreaticoduodenectomy in the University hospital of Besançon (France)

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • patients scheduled to undergo elective pancreaticoduodenectomy
  • Non-opposition of the subject to participate in the study.
  • Affiliated to the French social security system (CMU included).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Emergent surgery.
  • Pregnant patients.
  • Refusal to participate or inability to provide .
  • Patient under legal protection (individuals under guardianship by court order).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Mar 2024 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for May 2026, 26 months after the start.

Of 22 observational studies under Pancreatic Fistula, half reached primary completion within 26 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 20 and three quarters within 53. This study's planned 26 months is close to that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 15, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
