简要总结
Walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) is associated with a mortality of 20-30%. The current evidence supports a minimally invasive drainage approach to infected WON. The current suggested approach in international guidelines is the endoscopic step-up approach. However, recent evidence from large national cohorts support the use of direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) at the time of stent placement, resulting in earlier resolution of WON and less number of necrosectomies. This study aims to investigate the clinical outcomes of the DEN versus the step-up approach for necrosectomy after endoscopic drainage of WON.
详细描述
INTRODUCTION Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common gastrointestinal diseases requiring emergency admissions to the hospital. 10-20% of these patients develop pancreatic necrosis and subsequent walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON) and is associated with a mortality of 20-30%. Grade 1A evidence exists to support an initial minimally invasive drainage approach to infected WON. However, the optimal approach and timing of necrosectomy remains unaddressed. The current suggested approach in international guidelines is the endoscopic step-up approach. However, recent evidence from large national cohorts support the use of direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) at the time of stent placement, resulting in earlier resolution of WON and less number of necrosectomies.
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the clinical outcomes of the DEN versus the step-up approach for necrosectomy after endoscopic drainage of WON.
HYPOTHESIS The hypothesis is that DEN at the time of LAMS placement improves clinical outcomes after endoscopic drainage of WON as compared to the endoscopic step-up approach.
DESIGN AND SUBJECTS This is a multicentre international randomized controlled trial. Patients with suspected or confirmed infected or symptomatic WON on computed tomography (CT) and who are deemed feasible for endoscopic drainage will be included in the study. Endoscopic drainage with lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) will be performed. Patients will be randomised to either the endoscopic step-up approach or direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) approach.
The primary endpoint is a composite of major complications or death within 6 months after randomisation. Secondary endpoints include time to resolution of WON, pancreatic functions, biliary strictures, need for necrosectomy, total number of interventions, length of hospital and ICU stay, recurrence of WON and unplanned readmissions related to WON.

研究组 & 干预措施
Endoscopic step-up approach
After endoscopic drainage of WON, patients will be reassessed 72 hours after the procedure. If there is no clinical improvement 72 hours after drain placement, a CECT is performed to check the adequacy of the drainage. Irrigation of the WON via a nasocystic drain or endoscopic irrigation (step 1) is performed in case of inadequate drainage. If a nasocystic drain is inserted, 500ml of normal saline, twice a day will be used to irrigate the WON. If endoscopic irrigation is performed, only irrigation with normal saline without necrosectomy is allowed.
Patients are again evaluated 72 hours after step 1. In case of improvement, treatment is conservative; otherwise step 2 will be initiated, which is endoscopic necrosectomy. Further endoscopic necrosectomy will be performed until there is clinical improvement.
干预措施: Endoscopic necrosectomy with step up approach (Procedure)
Direct endoscopic necrosectomy approach
Patients in the DEN group will undergo an immediate endoscopic necrosectomy after LAMS placement and balloon dilatation. A 10Fr 5cm double pigtail plastic stent will be inserted within the LAMS after necrosectomy. Patients will be assessed in 72 hours after the procedure. If there is no clinical improvement, a CECT is performed to check the adequacy of the drainage. DEN will be repeated in case of inadequate drainage. Patients will be reassessed every 72 hours and DEN repeated until there is clinical improvement. Subsequently, necrosectomy is performed weekly until a reassessment CECT at 3 weeks.
