New surgical glue technique for pancreas connection after Whipple surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a Whipple procedure to remove a cancerous tumor in the pancreas.
- Your pancreas is soft (not hard or scarred).
- Your main pancreatic duct is small (less than 3 mm wide).
- You are not allergic to cyanoacrylate glue or Lipiodol.
- You do not have active infections, bleeding problems, or serious medical conditions that make surgery unsafe.

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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
