Post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is the most significant cause of morbidity following distal pancreatectomy. Hemopatch™ is a thin, bovine collagen-based hemostatic sealant. We hypothesized that application of Hemopatch™ to the pancreatic stump following distal pancreatectomy would decrease the incidence of clinically-significant POPF.
We conducted a prospective, single-arm, multicentre phase II study of application of Hemopatch™ to the pancreatic stump following distal pancreatectomy. The primary outcome was clinically-significant POPF within 90 days of surgery. A sample size of 52 patients was required to demonstrate a 50% relative reduction in Grade B/C POPF from a baseline incidence of 20%, with a type I error of 0.2 and power of 0.75. Secondary outcomes included incidence of POPF (all grades), 90-day mortality, 90-day morbidity, re-interventions, and length of stay.
Adequate fixation Hemopatch™ to the pancreatic stump was successful in all cases. The rate of grade B/C POPF was 25% (95%CI: 14.0-39.0%). There was no significant difference in the incidence of grade B/C POPF compared to the historical baseline (p = 0.46). The 90-day incidence of Clavien-Dindo grade ≥3 complications was 26.9% (95%CI: 15.6-41.0%).
The use of Hemopatch™ was not associated with a decreased incidence of clinically-significant POPF compared to historical rates. (NCT03410914).
术后胰腺瘘(POPF)是胰体尾切除术后发病率最高的原因。Hemopatch™ 是一种薄的、基于牛胶原蛋白的止血密封剂。我们假设在胰体尾切除术后将 Hemopatch™ 应用于胰腺残端会降低临床上显著的 POPF 的发生率。
我们进行了一项前瞻性、单臂、多中心的 II 期研究,即在胰体尾切除术后将 Hemopatch™ 应用于胰腺残端。主要结局是手术后 90 天内临床上显著的 POPF。需要 52 例患者的样本量,以显示从 20%的基线发生率降低 50%的 Grade B/C POPF,I 型错误为 0.2,效力为 0.75。次要结局包括 POPF(所有等级)、90 天死亡率、90 天发病率、再次干预和住院时间。
Hemopatch™ 成功固定在胰腺残端的比例为 100%。Grade B/C POPF 的发生率为 25%(95%CI:14.0-39.0%)。与历史基线相比,Grade B/C POPF 的发生率无显著差异(p=0.46)。Clavien-Dindo 分级≥3 级并发症的 90 天发生率为 26.9%(95%CI:15.6-41.0%)。
与历史发生率相比,Hemopatch™ 的使用与临床上显著的 POPF 发生率降低无关。(NCT03410914)。
