April 23, 2014 updated by: Safi Dokmak, Beaujon Hospital

To Evaluate the Safety and Outcome of the Parietal Peritoneum as a Substitute Graft for Venous Reconstruction in Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Improvements in surgical techniques, perioperative management and effective chemotherapy regimens, have increased the resectability of malignant hepatobiliary and pancreatic tumors when associated with vascular invasion. Therefore, simultaneous vascular resection is increasingly required to obtain an adequate resection margin and improve patient definite survival. Although most vascular resection associated with pancreatectomy can be reconstructed by simple venorraphy or end-to-end anastomosis, a segmental or lateral vacular graft (VG) can be necessary in 8-12 % of cases. Vascular reconstruction can be planned preoperatively if the vascular invasion is evident and an appropriate VG can be prepared. Differents sources of VG are available including autogenous veins , synthetic such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) , cryopreserved and veins from the resected liver. However the decision to perform vascular resection may be made during dissection due to vascular invasion or injury and even occasionnally taken while the mesentericoportal vein (MPV) or vena cava (VC) are occluded. In this emergency situation, an urgent and easily available graft is necessary to prevent prolonged ischemia. The difficulty of anticipating the need for these vascular resections during HPB surgery, has lead certain authors including those in our group to use either the veins from the resected liver, the umbilical vein or the parietal peritoneum (PP) for vena cava reconstruction. The aim of our study is to evaluate the safety and outcome of the parietal peritoneum as a substitute patch for venous reconstruction during HPB surgery in emergency and elective situations.

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All patients admitted to HPB unit and schudeled for major liver or pancreatic resections with suspected venous invasion. Venous invasion is suspected on CT scan (vein narrowing or disappearance of the fat plane between the vein and the tumor) performed within 1 month of surgical resection. Informed consent will be obtained and the parietal peritoneum will be used as a substitute graft for resection-reconstruction in these patients if intra-operative exploration confirmed this venous invasion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who refuse to participate and patients with suspected peritoneal carcinomatosis or if intra-operative exploration confirmed the presence of peritoneal carcinomatosis

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety and venous patency
Time Frame: Up to 4 months
The primary outcome of this study will be the safety and venous patency. Safety means "to see if the parietal peritoneum is rigid and there is no tearing of bleeding in the reconstructed area, related to venous pressure", this safety will be assessed clinically (exteriorized bleeding from the reconstructed zone and on CT scan to search for local hematoma). Patency will be assessed by regular CT scan performed on postoperative day 8,30,90 and 120. On CT scan, this evaluation will include the degree on venous stenosis (0%, <25%, 25%-75%, >75%, thrombosis) compared to non reconstructed vein, the presence of thrombosis with collateral venous circulation or venous enlargement in the reconstructed area
Up to 4 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Long-term venous Patency
Time Frame: Up to 6 months
The venous latency will be assessed at 6 months of the surgical resection and the assessment with be done by CT scan in order to study the degree of venous stenosis, the presence or not of thrombosis or collateral venous circulation and venous enlargement.
Up to 6 months

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Oncological benefit and rate or R0 venous resection
Time Frame: up to 1 month
We will study on histology the rate of R0 resection (margins tumor free) in order to see if this technique allow us to resect largely the tumor with the benefit to increase the rate of R0 resection on the vein and surrounding structures
up to 1 month
