Active clinical trials for "Pancreatic Diseases"

The purpose of the study is to compare the success rates of procedure success and complication rates in patients undergoing Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using two types of currently available endoscopes. These are (1) duodenoscope with a Single-use distal cover or (2) a conventional reusable duodenoscope.

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and usability of perioperative fully-automated closed-loop insulin delivery versus standard insulin therapy in patients with diabetes other than type 1 diabetes undergoing elective major abdominal surgery.

The purpose of this study is to figure out which commonly used antibiotic, cefoxitin or piperacillin-tazobactam, is better at decreasing the rate of surgical site infections after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) is a key procedure for diagnosing biliopancreatic diseases. However, the performance among EUS endoscopists varies greatly and leads to blind areas during operation, which impaired the health outcome of patients. We previously developed an artificial intelligence (AI) device that accurately identifies EUS standard stations and significantly reduces the difficulty of ultrasound image interpretation. In this study, we updated the device (named EUS-IREAD) and assessed its performance in improving the quality of EUS examination in a single-center randomized controlled trial.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a technically challenging procedure. It takes time to learn the basic skills and need at least 180 - 200 cases for trainees to achieve competency in ERCP. Hands-on practice in patients remains the gold standard for ERCP training. Traditional hands-on ERCP training requires the trainer to be on-site to assist the trainee with ERCP operations. We hypothesized that the trainee can be safely guided by trainer off-site with interactive audio and endoscopic and fluoroscopic view. Technology-enabled health care at a distance has profound scientific potential and accordingly has been met with growing interest. Teleguidance facilitated ERCP cannulation is a strategy to provide expert cannulation guidance to trainee in settings where such expertise is not on-site. Teleguidance not only reduces unnecessary radiation exposure of endoscopist, but also provides remote assistance for trainees to complete training or further improve skills. Given the advantages of the off-site teleguidance, it could be an attractive substitute for on-site hands-on ERCP training. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether off-site assistance (Off group) could achieve a comparable success rate to on-site assistance (On group) regarding the rates of successful selective biliary cannulation during ERCP training.

AIM To determine association between postoperative pancreatitis and pancreatic fistula OBJECTIVES To determine incidence of Clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (grade B/C) after pancreaticoduodenectomy To determine role of serum amylase levels on day 1 to predict clinically relevant pancreatic fistula To determine risk factors for postoperative pancreatitis and postoperative pancreatic fistula Primaryendpoint: Incidence of post operative pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula. Secondaryendpoints: to identify the possible predictors of post operative pancreatitis. to investigate the association between post operative pancreatitis and post operative pancreatic fistula. MATERIAL AND METHODS Study centre: Inpatient admissions in Department of gastroenterology, Asian institute of gastroenterology, Hyderabad Study population: Patients who are supposed to undergo pancreaticoduodenectomy Study design: Prospective observational study Study period: Study will be conducted till desired sample size achieved or March 2020 to march 2022

This study plans to analyze the digestive flora structure of the group of patients with pancreatic cancer. The investigators compared the microflora of pancreatic cancer with other pancreatic diseases and healthy people，in order to obtatin the information of microbial community difference among the different groups. Finally，the investigators hope to identify the potential biomarker and pathogenic mechanisms that causes the onset and progression of pancreatic diseases.

This study aims to pool the clinical experience of Spanish centers treating patients with 177Lu-DOTATATE to evaluate the efficacy, tolerance, and safety of the drug in routine clinical practice and to learn about the profiles of patients and tumors treated and the results in each type of patient and tumor.

This study aims to assess overall survival, quality of life and resection rates in locally advanced pancreatic cancer

The purpose of this study is to collect all radiological data which evaluated with clinical data may help assess malignancy and prognosis of pancreatic disease.This registry aims to collect retrospective data from 2014 and prospective data until 2027 with a maximum follow-up of 3 years per patient.
