First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study compares two antibiotic strategies in 326 adults undergoing pancreatic surgery who had a bile duct stent placed before surgery. One group gets antibiotics only during surgery, the other gets them for 5 days after. The goal is to see if the longer course reduces surgical site infections, including pancreatic leaks. The trial is not yet recruiting.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Piperacillin-tazobactam (an antibiotic)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could establish a standard antibiotic regimen to prevent serious infections after pancreatic surgery in patients with a prior bile duct stent.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 3 trial, but it has not yet started recruiting. The benefit may be small, and antibiotics carry risks like allergic reactions or drug-resistant infections.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
