The primary objective of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether primary total pancreatectomy with simultaneous islet autotransplantation compared with pancreatic head resection (alone) can reduce perioperative morbidity and time to initiation of adjuvant therapy in patients with a high-risk constellation for pancreatic fistulas.

| Intraportal transplantation of isolated autologous pancreatic islets after total pancreatectomy | Biological | Islet cells are isolated from patients healthy pancreatic tissue. Following total pancreatectomy, these autologous cells are injected into the portal vein, to implant in the liver and produce insulin. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Duration between surgery and time "fit for adjuvant treatment" (postoperative day X) | Time (days) between surgery and the date of certified fitness to begin adjuvant therapy, confirmed by an oncology consult, starting at day of discharge, than assessed at POD 90, POD 180, POD 365, 24 months | From day of discharge until confirmed fitness for adjuvant treatment or 24 months, whichever came first |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Comparison of actual start of adjuvant therapy in both arms | Postoperative day on which adjuvant therapy was started | From POD 90 until actual start of therapy or 24 months whichever came first |
| Rate of peri-operative morbidity/mortality acc. to Clavien-Dindo classification |

| Pancreaticoduodenectomy (classic Whipple or pylorus-preserving) | Procedure | As a standard procedure, the tumor-affected region of the pancreatic head with surrounding tissue and lymph nodes is removed during surgery. Reconstruction is performed by pancreaticojejunostomy. |
|
