eXtended Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Intermediate- and High-risk Glands After Pancreatoduodenectomy to Reduce CR-POPF

September 17, 2024 updated by: Case Comprehensive Cancer Center

eXtended Antibiotic Prophylaxis for Intermediate- and High-risk Glands After Pancreatoduodenectomy to Reduce Clinically Relevant PostOperative Pancreatic Fistula: A Phase 2 Randomized Control Trial (X-POPF)

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate if prolonged antibiotics after pancreatoduodenectomy can prevent the development of a pancreatic fistula and related complications. Participants who are at high risk of pancreatic fistula will be administered an extended course of antibiotics. While inpatient, the patient will receive these antibiotics through the vein, and after discharge, the antibiotics will be taken by mouth.

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

Pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) is a commonly performed surgical procedure utilized in the treatment of either localized malignancies or benign conditions that involve the pancreatic head, 2nd/3rd portions of the duodenum, ampulla of Vater, and distal biliary system. Historically, there has been little improvement in the rate of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF), which occurs in approximately 10-40% of patients, and is influenced by a number of factors, including surgeon experience, pancreatic gland texture, pancreatic duct size, and underlying diagnosis. POPF is the leaking of enterically contaminated and amylase-rich fluid from the pancreatic-jejunal anastomosis created during PD. This leak may lead to serious complications. The concept of antibiotic mitigation prior to development of a CR-POPF in patients at higher risk of developing CR-POPF is an option that will be explored in this 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 and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject undergoing planned, elective pancreatoduodenectomy at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center (UH CMC) for any indication.
  • Age >18 years. Pancreatoduodenectomy is rarely, if ever performed in the elective setting for the pediatric population at UH CMC. Therefore, this study will not include this small and different population of patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy.
  • Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Creatinine Clearance greater than 40 ml/min

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Concurrent participation in another clinical trial, where participation in the proposed clinical trial that prohibits participation in this clinical trial, or where subjects would be actively receiving another investigational agent during the 90-day evaluation period of this study.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to Piperacillin, Tazobactam, Amoxicillin, Clavulanic Acid or other agents used in this study.
  • Subjects who are found to have another active infection or presumed infection at time of surgery who will be treated per standard of care with antibiotics regardless of randomization status.
  • Subjects who are found to have metastatic disease at time of planned pancreatoduodenectomy, if surgery is otherwise aborted, or if total pancreatectomy is performed due to interoperative considerations
  • Any subject who, while not having history of adverse reaction to similar chemical or biologic composition to Piperacillin, Tazobactam, Amoxicillin, Clavulanic Acid or other agents used in this study, develops a suspected drug reaction to the standard perioperative dose of antibiotic, prior to randomization.

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.
