Summary

This study tests whether giving a combination of two medicines (hydrocortisone and octreotide) plus using a patch made from the patient's own tissue can lower the risk of major complications after Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer. The trial includes 400 high-risk patients whose pancreatic duct is very small. The goal is to prevent dangerous leaks and infections, helping patients recover faster and start cancer treatment sooner.
