Detailed Description
The PORTAL trial is a Phase 3 multicenter non-inferiority randomized controlled trial that aims to address the question of feasibility and efficacy of the robotic minimally invasive approach in pancreaticoduodenectomy.
In the past 10 years there has been an increasing number of retrospective series from major centers for pancreatic surgery worldwide, that demonstrate similar and occasionally improved postoperative outcomes in patients who undergo a robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (Whipple). The benefits of this minimally invasive approach appear to be decreased intraoperative estimated blood loss, lower postoperative pain levels and smaller length of hospital stay, whereas postoperative complications rates are comparable with the standard open approach.
This trial is conducted in multiple major centers for pancreatic surgery (open and robotic) in China and aims to address these questions in a prospective fashion. All eligible patients who present to these centers within the study period will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either of the two arms (open vs. robotic). Patients enrolled in the study will be blinded regarding the type of the procedure by application of identical wound dressings at the trocar sites and the open incision. Patients will be followed up closely and will be evaluated routinely for quality of life parameters for a period of at least 2 years postoperatively. Additionally, patients who undergo surgery in either arm for pancreatic adenocarcinoma will also be evaluated for time to adjuvant chemotherapy postoperatively, as well as recurrence and survival data.

Time to functional recovery postoperatively
Time Frame: From date of surgery to date of functional recovery as described, assessed up to 90 days.
|
Daily evaluation of patient postoperative course will take place by the nursing and medical staff and will be documented by the study coordinators. Postoperative criteria that need to be fulfilled independently to achieve functional recovery status are the following:
|
From date of surgery to date of functional recovery as described, assessed up to 90 days.
|
Percentage of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who achieve administration of adjuvant chemotherapy at 8 weeks postoperatively
Time Frame: Postoperative Day 1 to Day 56
|
The number of patients who are fit and well to initiate adjuvant chemotherapy at the 8-week mark after the operation will be documented and compared between the two arms
|

Quality of life measurements
Time Frame: Postoperative Day 1 to Day 90

For assessment of postoperative quality of life (QoL) improvement, patients will be evaluated with the established EuqoQol EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, which is a self-reported assay focusing on five parameters: Pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, usual activities, self-care, and mobility. Each of the five aforementioned parameters is scored from 0 to 5 (no issue, slight problem, moderate problem, severe problem, unable); patients also score independently their health status on a scale numbered from 0 to 100; 100 means the best health they can imagine, and 0 the worst. Answered questionnaires will be collected on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, 7, and afterwards every week until day 30. QoL evaluation will terminate at Day 90. |
