Brief summary
This study is designed to assess the preventive effects of somatostatin on post-operation pancreatic fistula in intermediate risk patients after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Patients assigned into the treatment group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) in addition to conventional treatments (including infection prevention, nutrition support and acid suppression therapy, etc.).The pancreatic fistula incidence will be monitored within 30 days after operation.
Detailed description
This is a multi-center randomized, controlled clinical trial. A total of 200 patients are expected to be recruited. Each trial center recruits subjects based on the sequential principle and inspect the inclusion and exclusion criteria after PD and subjects meeting the standard are assigned randomly to the treatment group or control group. Apart from conventional treatments (including infection prevention, nutrition support and acid suppression therapy, etc.), the treatment group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) of 250μg/h for 120h (total dose of 6mg/day x 5 days=30mg), beginning within 3 hours after the operation; the control group will accept conventional treatments other than the Stilamin. The pancreatic fistula incidence, biochemical leak incidence, morbidity and number of other complications related to the pancreatectomy, length of stay in hospital, hospitalization cost, re-admission rate and re-operation rate will be monitored within 30 days after operation. Subjects will be visited for 5 times from the start to the end of the study. Statistical Methods:Number of patients who had pancreatic fistula after surgery will be analyzed using Chi-square test.Secondary endpoints: Continuous variates will be described as mean± SD; attempted to be analyzed using analysis of variance. Categorical variates will be described as rate; attempted to be analyzed using Chi-square test.
Interventions
DRUGSomatostatin
Patients in the Stilamin group will be continuous intravenous infusion with the somatostatin (Stilamin®) of 250μg/h, beginning within 3 hours (Visit 1) after the operation and lasting for 120 hours (each subject will receive the Stilamin of 30mg in total), and other postoperative conventional treatment protocol remain unchanged.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of post-operative pancreatic fistula | 30 days after operation | A clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula is now defined as a drain output of any measurable volume of fluid with an amylase level \>3 times the upper limit of institutional normal serum amylase activity, associated with a clinically relevant development/condition related directly to the postoperative pancreatic fistula. |
