Benign Pancreatic Neoplasm, Malignant Pancreatic Neoplasm
Conditions
Brief summary
This trial evaluates whether testing of bile with nanopore sequencing results in earlier detection of bacteriobilia (bacteria in bile) that may lead to surgical site infections in patients undergoing surgery for benign or malignant pancreatic tumors. Surgical site infections are a significant source of poor outcomes in patients undergoing surgery for pancreatic tumors. In most patients who develop this kind of infection, the bacteria identified as causing the infection is also frequently found to be in the bile at time of surgery. Usage of nanopore sequencing for detection of bacteria in the bile of patients undergoing surgery may allow doctors to prevent surgical site infections or treat them sooner or more effectively.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To improve antibiotic stewardship (reducing duration of peri-operative prophylactic antibiotic regimen, reducing administration of broad-spectrum antibiotic) by providing surgical team with rapid Oxford Nanopore (ONT) sequencing data in the early post-operative setting. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To reduce the cost of care through reduction in surgical site infection (SSI) and improved antibiotic stewardship. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients undergo the collection of bile samples during standard of care surgery. Samples undergo routine laboratory testing. ARM II: Patients undergo the collection of bile samples during standard of care surgery. Samples undergo nanopore sequencing and routine laboratory testing. After completion of study, patients' medical records are reviewed for 30 days.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Surgical Site Infections | Up to 90 days | Assessed by incidence of surgical site infections (SSI), classified using American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) definitions. Diagnostics tests to evaluate for SSI included physical examination, laboratory testing, and imaging such as computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US). Patients with complicated hospital courses returned for clinical visit after approximately 2 weeks with cross sectional CT imaging and laboratory testing with further follow up visits as clinically indicated. In the instance of an uneventful hospital course, patients returned at 4 weeks from their date of discharge for a clinical visit with CT imaging and laboratory testing. After this first routine follow-up appointment with surgery, patients continued to follow with medical oncology and with the surgical clinic on an as needed basis. |

Pre-assignment details
This study evaluated the clinical use of Oxford Nanopore Sequencing in characterizing biliary microbial contamination in patients undergoing pancreatic head resection (total pancreatectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy) surgery. Following enrollment, stratified randomization was performed using surgery type as a stratification factor. Patients that did not complete surgery were, therefore, removed from the study prior to assignment to a study group. assignment to a study group was dependent
