Trial summary

When a doctor performs Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography "ERCP" (Endoscopy to examine the bile duct) a flexible tube is inserted into the mouth and into the stomach. The tube passes beyond the stomach and into an opening in the liver called the bile duct. Read more about this study

About this study

When a doctor performs Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography "ERCP" (Endoscopy to examine the bile duct) a flexible tube is inserted into the mouth and into the stomach. The tube passes beyond the stomach and into an opening in the liver called the bile duct. Another small flexible endoscope is inserted inside the ERCP scope to directly visualize the bile duct to ensure that there are no cancers or stones in the bile duct and occasionally to take a sample from the bile duct. The purpose of our study is to examine wither performing this procedure can transmit bacteria from the bile duct to the main blood stream.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective study to measure the frequency of bacteremia in patients undergoing ERCP with direct cholangioscopic examination of the Common Bile Duct "CBD". A blood culture will be drawn from patients prior to the procedure, 5 minutes after the procedure and 30 minutes after the procedure. The patient will be followed up for 7 days after procedure for fever and sepsis. The estimated sample size is 60 patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the frequency of bacteremia after ERCP with direct cholangioscopic examination of the CBD

    To measure the frequency of bacteremia after ERCP with direct cholangioscopic examination of the CBD by obtaining blood culture 5 minutes and 30 minutes after the procedure

    Measured: 5 minutes and 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To measure the frequency of fever or sepsis after ERCP with direct cholangioscopic examination of the CBD

    This outcome will be obtained by calling the patient 24 hour and 1 week after the procedure

    Measured: within 24 hours and one week of the procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood culture ( aerobic and anaerobic) in people with Choledocholithiasis and Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, El Paso at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the frequency of bacteremia after ERCP with direct cholangioscopic examination of the CBD (time frame: 5 minutes and 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01673269, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 May 2017.
