Recruiting studies
- NCT06283160Recruiting
Pancreatic fistula study after Whipple surgery
This study looks at people having planned Whipple surgery (a type of pancreas surgery) to understand why some develop a leak called a pancreatic fistula. Researchers will study your blood and immune system to find ways to predict and prevent this complication.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT05843877RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery choice and insulin islet transplant to prevent leaks
This Phase 3 trial studies a pancreatic surgery approach (pylorus-preserving Whipple or similar) and, in some cases, moving your insulin-making cells into your body to help prevent a dangerous post-surgery leak from the pancreas. It may help people who are considered high risk for this complication based on pancreas texture and duct size.
DresdenAges 18 years+ - NCT07502053Recruiting
Can a dye help prevent a pancreas leak after Whipple surgery?
This trial tests if using a special dye during surgery can reduce the risk of a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The dye helps the surgeon see blood flow to the remaining pancreas, which may improve healing.
Girona, GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT06807437RecruitingPhase 3
Testing lanreotide before pancreas surgery to prevent leaks
This trial tests if a medicine called lanreotide, given before surgery, can prevent a common complication (pancreatic leak) after removing part of the pancreas. It is for people with pancreatic cancer or a growth that could become cancer who are scheduled for a specific type of pancreas surgery.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05725590Recruiting
External pancreatic duct stents after pancreatic surgery
This study tests whether placing an external pancreatic duct stent after pancreaticoduodenectomy can lower the risk of pancreatic leak (pancreatic fistula). If you had this surgery with a specific connection technique, you may be able to help find a safer way to prevent complications.
HangzhouAges 18–75 - NCT07022015Recruiting
Predicting pancreatic leak after pancreatic surgery
This trial looks at factors that can predict a serious complication called a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The goal is to help doctors better understand and manage this risk.
MinyaAges 18–75 - NCT07370987RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing pancreatic fistula after surgery with pre-surgery radiation
This trial tests if a short course of radiation before surgery can lower the risk of a pancreatic leak (a common complication). It is for people who are overweight, older than 45, and have a small pancreatic duct.
ParisAges 45 years+ - NCT06764134Recruiting
Testing a new stapler to prevent pancreatic leaks after surgery
This trial tests a new type of stapler (AEON) used during surgery to remove the left part of the pancreas. The goal is to see if it helps reduce the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06814249Enrolling by invitation
Pancreatic stump ligation after distal pancreatectomy study
This study looks at a specific surgical technique for closing the remaining part of the pancreas after a distal pancreatectomy (removal of the tail or body). It aims to see if a special ligation method can improve outcomes. You may be able to join if you are planning this surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT07144917Recruiting
Immune system changes after Whipple surgery
This study is looking at how the immune system can become weakened after a Whipple procedure for pancreatic tumors. The goal is to better understand and potentially help patients recover more effectively.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06322680Recruiting
Drain tubes to prevent pancreas leak after Whipple surgery
This trial is testing whether draining the main pancreatic and bile ducts during a Whipple procedure can lower the risk of a pancreatic leak. The study focuses on people with a higher chance of this complication.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07009119Recruiting
Laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic and bile duct cancers
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery called laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy to remove certain cancers in the pancreas, bile duct, or nearby areas. It may help patients whose cancer has not spread and can be fully removed with surgery.
MinyaAges 18–75 - NCT06198400Recruiting
Dye test for blood flow after pancreas surgery
This trial uses a special dye to check blood flow in the remaining part of your pancreas after surgery. It helps doctors see if the tissue is getting enough blood, which can improve healing and reduce complications.
Prague, Czech RepublicAges 18 years+ - NCT04220931Recruiting
Botox shot to help prevent a pancreas leak after distal surgery
This trial studies whether injecting a Botox-like medicine into the pancreatic drainage area can help prevent a post-surgery pancreas fistula (a persistent leak). It’s for adults having a planned distal pancreatectomy, and it may help reduce complications after surgery.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT07132541RecruitingPhase 1
New surgical glue technique for pancreas connection after Whipple surgery
This trial tests a new method using a surgical glue called N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate to seal the pancreas after a Whipple procedure. It may help prevent leaks and improve recovery for patients with a soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT07230509RecruitingPhase 2
Glue injection to prevent pancreatic leaks after Whipple surgery
This study tests injecting a medical glue into the pancreas during a Whipple procedure to see if it can prevent leaks. It may help people with a soft pancreas and small pancreatic duct.
Minya, Minya GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT06756074RecruitingPhase 2
Surgical glue study for Whipple surgery patients
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the pancreas after a Whipple surgery for cancer. It tests whether using a special surgical glue (Glubran2) helps reduce leaks and improve healing.
MinyaAges 18–75 - NCT06743516Recruiting
Stent for pancreas connection after Whipple surgery
This trial tests if placing a small tube (stent) in the pancreas during Whipple surgery helps prevent leaks. It is for patients whose pancreas is found to be soft during surgery.
MinyaAges 18–75 - NCT07318493Recruiting
Antiseptic-coated sutures to lower pancreatic fistula risk
This trial tests if using antiseptic-coated stitches during pancreatic surgery can reduce the chance of a pancreatic leak (fistula) afterward. If you are scheduled for a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy), this study may help improve your recovery.
Akron, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06855888Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two stitching methods for pancreas reattachment after Whipple surgery
This trial compares two different ways to reconnect the pancreas during a Whipple procedure. It is for people with a soft pancreas and a narrow pancreatic duct. The goal is to see which stitching method leads to fewer complications.
Isehara-shi, KanagawaAges 18 years+ - NCT05155878Recruiting
Study of factors that predict outcomes for certain pancreas tumors
This study looks at what features of certain pancreas and nearby tumors or cysts might help predict outcomes. It uses existing medical records (and consent, if applicable) and may help doctors better estimate prognosis for patients in the future.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT06076252Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two surgical methods for pancreatic cancer
This trial compares a modified surgical technique to the standard one for removing pancreatic tumors. It aims to see if the new method lowers the risk of a leak from the pancreas after surgery.
Zhanjiang, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT05518643Recruiting
Testing a stress-reducing recovery plan for pancreatic surgery patients
This trial tests how well a structured hospital recovery plan (called ERAS) works for people having pancreatic surgery. It looks at stress and recovery outcomes to see if patients may do better with this approach.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pancreatic fistula?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 23 recruiting pancreatic fistula studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a pancreatic fistula trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a pancreatic fistula trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
