Total Pancreatectomy With Islet Autotransplantation (TPIAT) for High-Risk Patients With Pancreatic Tumors

Exploring TPIAT for patients with high-risk pancreatic tumors.

18 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study looks at a new surgery called Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation (TPIAT) for adults with tumors near the pancreas. The goal is to see if this surgery can be a safe option instead of another surgery called pancreaticoduodenectomy, which may cause complications. A total pancreatectomy means removing the whole pancreas, and islet autotransplantation involves moving important cells from the pancreas to another part of the body to help control blood sugar.

Key points to know:

  • The study lasts 12 months after surgery.
  • Participants will have either open or robotic surgery.
  • Participants' health and recovery will be closely monitored.

To join, you need to be at least 18 years old with certain types of pancreatic tumors. Pregnant individuals or those with certain health issues cannot participate. If eligible, participants will undergo surgery and their safety and recovery will be tracked for a year. This study helps researchers understand if TPIAT is a good option for people with high-risk pancreatic tumors.

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
