Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to figure out which commonly used antibiotic, cefoxitin or piperacillin-tazobactam, is better at decreasing the rate of surgical site infections after pancreatoduodenectomy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase

Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Actual Enrollment : 962 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase III Multicenter, Open Label Randomized Controlled Trial of Cefoxitin Versus Piperacillin-Tazobactam as Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Patients Undergoing Pancreatoduodenectomy
Actual Study Start Date : November 21, 2017
Estimated Primary Completion Date : August 28, 2023
Estimated Study Completion Date : August 28, 2023


Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Cefoxitin Drug: Cefoxitin
Participants will receive one dose of cefoxitin within 1 hour of incision time, redosed every 2-4 hours in the operating room until closure of the incision, and discontinued within 24 hours after anesthesia end time.

Experimental: Piperacillin-tazobactam Drug: Piperacillin-tazobactam
Participants will receive one dose of piperacillin-tazobactam within 1 hour of incision time, redosed every 2-4 hours in the operating room until closure of the incision, and discontinued within 24 hours after anesthesia end time.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Compare the effectiveness of cefoxitin with piperacillin-tazobactam as surgical antibiotic prophylaxis in decreasing the overall rate of postoperative surgical site infections in participants undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy [ Time Frame: 30 days ]
    To compare the effectiveness of cefoxitin, a second generation cephalosporin (Cohort 1), with piperacillin-tazobactam, a broad-spectrum penicillin (Cohort 2), as surgical antibiotic prophylaxis in decreasing the overall rate of postoperative SSIs in patients undergoing PD. The primary endpoint, overall SSI rate, is defined as superficial incisional SSI, deep incisional SSI, or organ/space SSI within the first 30 days after the operation, as defined according to the ACS NSQIP data collection operations manual.

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age >/= 18 years
  • Patients undergoing elective pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) for any diagnosis/indication

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients undergoing a minimally invasive PD, such as laparoscopic or robotic PD
  • Patients with known and documented allergies to any of the penicillins, cephalosporins, or β-lactamase inhibitors
  • Patients who are otherwise ineligible to receive the antibiotics in this study
  • Patients highly unlikely to undergo PD according to the surgeon's judgment, such as conditions amenable to pancreas enucleation, ampullectomy, etc.
  • Patients with long-term glucocorticosteroid use. The following uses of corticosteroids are permitted: single doses, topical applications (e.g., for rash), inhaled sprays (e.g., for obstructive airways diseases), eye drops or local injections (e.g., intra-articular)
  • Patients unable to provide informed consent
  • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) </= 40 mL/min
  • Patients receiving hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
  • Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test
  • Patients with a known bacterial infection present at the time of surgery or who received antimicrobial therapy within 7 days prior to surgery
