What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether injecting a medical glue (Histoacryl®) into the pancreas during Whipple surgery can strengthen the connection between the pancreas and intestine and prevent dangerous leaks. The study involves 30 patients with soft pancreases and narrow ducts, who are at higher risk for leaks. Researchers will track how many develop a pancreatic fistula, pancreatitis, or other complications.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl®) tissue adhesive
What this could lead to
If this works, it could offer a simple way to lower the risk of pancreatic leaks after Whipple surgery, potentially reducing complications and hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 30 patients. The glue may not reduce leaks as hoped, and there are risks of allergic reaction or tissue damage. Success in this small study may not apply to all patients.
