Below are recruiting pancreatoduodenectomy clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 14 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT06981273Recruiting
Robotic vs open surgery for pancreatic tumor removal
This trial compares two types of surgery for removing the head of the pancreas: robotic-assisted surgery versus traditional open surgery. It aims to see which approach may be better for recovery.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07043855Enrolling by invitation
Shorter antibiotics after Whipple surgery
This study tests whether a shorter course of antibiotics after Whipple surgery works as well as the standard longer course to prevent infections. It aims to reduce unnecessary antibiotic use and side effects.
SeoulAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06953193Recruiting
Comparing anesthesia types for pancreas surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia for people having pancreatoduodenectomy surgery. It tests whether adding an epidural to general anesthesia can help prevent low blood pressure during the operation.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT07423650RecruitingPhase 4
Continuous Nefopam infusion after pancreas surgery
This trial tests if giving a steady dose of a painkiller called nefopam through an IV can help manage pain after a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy). It aims to see if this approach reduces the need for other pain medications and improves recovery.
Cluj-Napoca, ClujAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06935448Recruiting
Recovery program for pancreatic cancer surgery
This trial tests a special recovery program called Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) for people having planned open surgery for pancreatic cancer. The goal is to see if this program helps patients recover faster and with fewer complications after their operation.
LarissaAges 18 years+ - NCT05784311RecruitingPhase 4
Longer vs shorter antibiotic prevention after pancreatoduodenectomy
This trial compares a standard length of preventive antibiotics versus a longer course after Whipple surgery to see if it lowers infection risk without causing extra side effects. It targets people considered higher risk for contamination of bile during surgery.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT06319755Recruiting
Gut bacteria after Whipple surgery
This study looks at gut bacteria in people who had Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer and in healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how the microbiome changes after surgery.
Camperdown, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06411795RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two pain relief methods after Whipple surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after Whipple surgery: a long-lasting numbing injection near the belly muscles (rectus sheath block) versus an epidural (a tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07262957RecruitingPhase 4
Preventing complications after pancreatic surgery with a drug bundle
This trial tests whether giving a combination of three treatments—hydrocortisone (a steroid), octreotide (a drug that reduces digestive fluids), and a tissue patch—before and during pancreatic surgery can help prevent complications. It is for people with a very small pancreatic duct (3 mm or less) who are scheduled for pancreatic surgery.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06647264Enrolling by invitation
Study on computer-aided risk prediction for liver and gallbladder surgery
This study uses a computer program to help doctors predict risks and outcomes for patients having laparoscopic liver or gallbladder surgery. It may help improve how doctors plan and manage your care before, during, and after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pancreatoduodenectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting pancreatoduodenectomy 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 pancreatoduodenectomy 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 pancreatoduodenectomy 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.
