Arm Description

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of the necrotic collection is performed using a lumen-apposing metal stent. Then in this group, endoscopic necrosectomy will be performed immediately following index EUS-guided drainage of the necrotic collection, during the same session

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of the necrotic collection is performed using a lumen-apposing metal stent. In this group, only EUS-guided drainage of the necrotic collection will be performed, and endoscopic necrosectomy will be performed at a separate session at a later time as needed.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a randomized trial comparing immediate endoscopic necrosectomy vs. step-up endoscopic interventions in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis.
Detailed Description
In patients with necrotizing pancreatitis, there has been a recent shift away from surgical debridement (surgical necrosectomy) towards minimally invasive endoscopic treatment. Endoscopic management involves the creation of a fistula (tract) between the gastric or duodenal wall and the necrotic collection, under the guidance of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with subsequent placement of a stent. In addition, performing endoscopic necrosectomy, which involves extraction of necrotic material under direct endoscopic visualization has increased rates of treatment success to greater than 80%. However to date, there are currently scant data on the optimal timing of endoscopic necrosectomy. The aim of this randomized trial is therefore to compare the clinical outcomes between patients undergoing immediate endoscopic necrosectomy compared to step-up endoscopic interventions in patients undergoing endoscopic therapy for necrotizing pancreatitis.

Arm Type
Active Comparator
Arm Description
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of the necrotic collection is performed using a lumen-apposing metal stent. In this group, only EUS-guided drainage of the necrotic collection will be performed, and endoscopic necrosectomy will be performed at a separate session at a later time as needed.
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Immediate endoscopic necrosectomy
Intervention Description
In the immediate endoscopic necrosectomy group, endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of the necrotic collection is performed using a lumen-apposing metal stent, immediately followed by endoscopic necrosectomy. Endoscopic necrosectomy involves removal of infected necrotic pancreatic tissue via the cystogastrostomy/cystoenterostomy tract using a variety of endoscopic accessories.
Intervention Type
Procedure
Intervention Name(s)
Step-up endoscopic interventions
Intervention Description
In the step-up endoscopic interventions group, endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage of the necrotic collection is performed using a lumen-apposing metal stent. Endoscopic necrosectomy is not performed during the index drainage session, but is performed at a later time as needed.
