Surgical glue study for Whipple surgery patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are able to understand and sign the consent form.
- You do not have serious medical problems that would make surgery unsafe.
- Your tumor can be removed by surgery based on imaging or a look inside your belly.
- The cancer has not spread to other parts of your body.
- You agree to participate in the study.

This trial tests whether a special medical glue (Glubran® 2) applied to the pancreas during surgery can help prevent fluid leaks. It is for people undergoing a Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer who have a soft pancreas.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
