Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05116072RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Islet cell transplant plus surgery for high fistula risk
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether adding an islet (insulin-producing cell) transplant at the time of pancreatic-region surgery is safe and helps prevent a serious surgical complication called a postoperative fistula. It is for people whose surgery is considered high risk for developing that complication.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative pancreatic fistula?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting postoperative 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 postoperative 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 postoperative 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.
