Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The planned multicenter randomized study is aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of endoscopic pancreatic duct stenting in adult patients with acute pancreatitis. It is planned to include patients with early-stage nonbiliary pancreatitis in the study.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Endoscopic pancreatic duct stent placement is used to treat a variety of pancreatic diseases, including chronic pancreatitis, Wirsung duct strictures, pseudocysts in disconnected duct syndrome and as a preventive measure after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Despite the obvious progress, the greatest number of unsolved problems remain in the issues of using this manipulation in patients with acute pancreatitis. In particular, the perspectives of the pancreatic duct stent placement in treatment of acute pancreatitis early stages remain controversial.

On the one hand, the installation of a stent in the early acute pancreatitis stages helps to normalize the outflow of pancreatic juice from the pancreas and reduce intraductal pressure, leading to a beneficial effect, as evidenced by a number of researchers. On the other hand, stent placement may partially block the second-order pancreatic ducts or increase the risk of sterile pancreatitis contamination due to the development of reflux. In addition, one should not forget about a number of post-manipulation complications inherent in this procedure, including bleeding from the area of the major duodenal papilla, perforation of the duodenum, progression of pancreatic necrosis and cholangitis. Finally, the timing and indications for early endoscopic stenting of the pancreatic duct are not currently standardized, largely due to the fact that acute pancreatitis is a pathological condition that is difficult to predict.

Thus, although this manipulation seems perspective, due to the lack of evidence base, it is currently difficult to recommend it for use in wide clinical practice.

The planned multicenter randomized study is aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of endoscopic pancreatic duct stenting in adult patients with acute pancreatitis. It is planned to include patients with early-stage nonbiliary pancreatitis in the study.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Randomized controlled trial Masking: not provided (open allocation). Given the specific nature of the medical discipline being studied, blinding of participants, as well as allocation concealment, is not planned due to the practical impossibility of this procedures.

Randomization method: calendar, according to which patients born in an even year will be distributed into the study group, and those born in an odd year - into the comparison group.

Blinding Strategy

NONE

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Сomparison group

Treatment measures will be performed in accordance with clinical guidelines and will include infusion therapy, pain relief, and nutritional support. Surgical interventions will also be performed based on estimated indications.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional treatment of acute pancreatitis in early phase

Intervention Type DRUG

Infusion therapy, pain relief, nutritional support and surgical procedure if needed

Study group

Along with the generally accepted complex of therapeutic measures, endoscopic pancreatic duct stent placement will be performed

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Endoscopic pancreatic duct stent placement

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Endoscopic pancreatic duct stent placement will be performed with a 5Fr Boston Scientific pancreatic stent (3-4 cm in length) within 24 hours from the randomization procedure. The stent will be removed on the 5th day after installation.
