NCT ID NCT07333755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed Phase 4 trial tested a new surgical technique during Whipple surgery for resectable periampullary tumors. The method uses an omental patch and surgical glue to reinforce the pancreatic connection, aiming to reduce leaks, bleeding, and stomach emptying problems. Thirty patients were enrolled, comparing the new technique to standard surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- surgical procedure (pancreaticojejunostomy with omental patch and glue)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could lower the risk of serious complications like pancreatic leaks and bleeding after Whipple surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The technique is surgical and carries standard operative risks.
