Comparison of the efficacy and safety of three different solutions for restoring blood volume after bleeding during surgery of pancreatic cancer.

PROSPECTIVE, CONTROLLED, DOUBLE-BLIND, RANDOMIZED MULTICENTRIC STUDY ON THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF A TARGET CONTROLLED PLASMA VOLUME REPLACEMENT THERAPY WITH A HYPER-ONCOTIC BALANCED HES 130/0.42 SOLUTION VS AN ISO-ONCOTIC BALANCED HES 130/0.42 SOLUTION COMPARED TO A BALANCED ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION IN ELECTIVE SURGERY OF THE PANCREATIC HEAD - HES 130/042 10% vs 6% PPPD

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: It is the primary aim of the planned study to investigate on the efficacy of target controlled fluid therapy with a hyper-oncotic compared to an iso-oncotic balanced HES 130/0.42 solution in adult patients undergoing elective pancreatic surgery. ;Secondary Objective: Investigation of safety and secondary efficacy parameters of the balanced HES 130/0.42 solutions and of the balanced electrolyte solution.;Primary end point(s): A multiple primary endpoint is defined which is “the intra-operative amount (in mLs) of colloidal volume replacement therapy during target directed volume replacement therapy” as the first primary endpoint and “days until fully on oral (solid) diet” as the second primary endpoint (full on oral diet is defined by the absence of parenteral nutrition).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The study ends on postoperative Day 15 or discharge from hospital whatever occurs first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary objectives are the investigation of safety and efficacy parameters like blood coagulation, perioperative blood loss, anastomotic or bowel leakage, renal function, haemodynamics, postoperative inflammation, intraabdominal pressure, adverse events and amount of given blood products (RBC, FFP, PC). Furthermore, descriptive comparison of the hyper- and iso-oncotic volume replacement therapy with HES to volume replacement therapy with a crystalloid alone will be made.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The study ends on postoperative Day 15 or discharge from hospital whatever occurs first.
