Ongoing and completed trials and randomized studies
CAMINO Trial
It is a randomized trial that aims to verify the usefulness of MRI in the identification of synchronous metastases from colorectal carcinoma of "small" size compared to CT. It is a multicenter study involving several centers of worldwide excellence. The hepatobiliary team and the research group of Fondazione Poliambulanza directed by Prof. Abu Hilal is one of the important pillars in this Trial.
DIPLOMA Trial
Multicenter study involving 258 patients from 30 international centers in USA, Germany, France, Italy (Fondazione Poliambulanza, Brescia), The Netherlands and many others with the aim of comparing the minimally invasive technique with the traditional one in terms of oncological results, complications ace and post-operative recovery in patients operated on distal pancreasectomy for tumors of the "tail of the pancreas".
ORANGE SEGMENTS
Prospective, randomized trial aimed at comparing the clinical results of the minimally invasive laparoscopic technique and the traditional technique in patients undergoing postero-superior hepatic resection under Enhanced Recovery.
In this study, 250 patients from several international centers participated.
ORANGE II plus
This is a randomized trial involving several national and international advanced liver surgery centers in 7 countries. 350 patients were recruited. The aim of the study is to compare the clinical outcomes of minimally invasive and conventional liver surgery, specifically left and right hepatectomy.
RESTORE Trial
Given the importance of the spleen in the immune system, RESTORE is a randomized trial designed to evaluate the immune response to autologous spleen transplantation in patients operated on for distal pancreasectomy and splenectomy (spleen removal) for pancreatic cancer. The study includes 2 groups of patients, the first where transplantation was performed and the other are patients undergoing "spleen preserving" distal pancreasectomy. The immune response to a harmless vaccine is compared in two groups.
