Somatostatin Prevent Post-operation Pancreatic Fistula in Intermediate Risk Patients After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

A Multi-center, Randomized, Controlled Study: Somatostatin Prevent Post-operation Pancreatic Fistula (POPF) in Intermediate Risk Patients After Pancreaticoduodenectomy

Summary

This study is designed to assess the preventive effects of somatostatin on post-operation pancreatic fistula in intermediate risk patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients assigned into the treatment group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) in addition to conventional treatments (including infection prevention, nutrition support and acid suppression therapy, etc.).The pancreatic fistula incidence will be monitored within 30 days after operation.

Detailed description

This is a multi-center randomized, controlled clinical trial. A total of 200 patients are expected to be recruited. Each trial center recruits subjects based on the sequential principle and inspect the inclusion and exclusion criteria after PD and subjects meeting the standard are assigned randomly to the treatment group or control group. Apart from conventional treatments (including infection prevention, nutrition support and acid suppression therapy, etc.), the treatment group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) of 250μg/h for 120h (total dose of 6mg/day x 5 days=30mg), beginning within 3 hours after the operation; the control group will accept conventional treatments other than the Stilamin. The pancreatic fistula incidence, biochemical leak incidence, morbidity and number of other complications related to the pancreatectomy, length of stay in hospital, hospitalization cost, re-admission rate and re-operation rate will be monitored within 30 days after operation. Subjects will be visited for 5 times from the start to the end of the study. Statistical Methods:Number of patients who had pancreatic fistula after surgery will be analyzed using Chi-square test.Secondary endpoints: Continuous variates will be described as mean± SD; attempted to be analyzed using analysis of variance. Categorical variates will be described as rate; attempted to be analyzed using Chi-square test.
