DISPACT trial: a randomized controlled trial to compare two different surgical techniques of DIStal PAnCreaTectomy — study rationale and design

Abstract: A group-sequential study design accounts for the uncertainty of pre-existing evidence. Also, standardization of surgical and postoperative care and blinded outcome assessment as well as adjustment for varying surgical expertise will contribute to a high validity and generalizability of the results.

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] The majority of perioperative complications are not life-threatening, but they can prolong the hospital stay, increase costs, necessitate readmission, and delay adjuvant therapy. Thus, it is important to identify the predictive and intraoperative risk factors associated with operative morbidity after distal pancreatectomy (DP).…”

“…One possible way to identify a better closure technique is to conduct a randomized clinical trial comparing the incidence of pancreatic fistula after hand-sewn versus stapler closure, and such a trial is now ongoing [14]. A randomized clinical trial can elucidate the superiority of one method over another; however, the overall incidence of pancreatic fistula is unlikely to decrease dramatically because the reported incidence of using either method is similarly high.…”

“…Das KKS-Netzwerk kooperiert mit dem Studienzentrum der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Chirurgie (SDGC) und ist dadurch mit dem Chirurgischen Studiennetzwerk ChirNet verbunden, einem vom BMBF geförderten Netzwerk chirurgischer Regionalzentren. Durch die Verflechtung mit dem ChirNet/SDGC verfügt das KKS-Netzwerk über eine besondere klinisch-methodische Expertise, die sich exemplarisch auch in der BMBF-geförderten DISPACTStudie widerspiegelt: Die in einem überwiegend onkologischen Patientenumfeld europaweit durchgeführte Studie vergleicht zwei verschiedene chirurgische Techniken und vereint chirurgische Qualitätssicherung und Daten-Monitoring [8]. …”
