Trial summary

1. Background Advanced guidewires with a U-shaped tip could effectively cross the long or multi-occlusive segment smoothly and go into the distal outflow vessel. The guidewire looping technique is a safe and effective method for the recanalization of the occluded lesions in infrapopliteal vessels. 2. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Loop-tipped Guidewire in Selective Biliary Cannulation: a Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial

  1. Background
  • Advanced guidewires with a U-shaped tip could effectively cross the long or multi-occlusive segment smoothly and go into the distal outflow vessel.
  • The guidewire looping technique is a safe and effective method for the recanalization of the occluded lesions in infrapopliteal vessels.

  1. Objective - To compare the performance a loop-tipped guidewire with a straight-tipped guidewire in achieving successful deep biliary cannulation.
  2. Design
  • Prospective randomized trial.
  1. Setting:
  • Tertiary-care medical center
  1. Patients
  • This study will involve 192 patients with biliary diseases which require endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
  1. Intervention - Cannulation of bile duct by using a loop-tipped guidewire or a straight-tipped guidewire
  2. Main outcome measurements - Compare the cannulation success rate, the duration of the cannulation, immediate and late complications.
Being tested
Biliary cannulation with loop guidewire, Biliary cannulation with straight guidewire
Medical subject headings
Choledocholithiasis, Bile Duct Neoplasms, Pancreatic Neoplasms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biliary cannulation with loop guidewire and Biliary cannulation with straight guidewire in people with Choledocholithiasis and Bile Duct Cancer, run by Ajou University School of Medicine at 1 site in South Korea.

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

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 cannulation success rate (time frame: Up to 9 months, The primary outcome measure will be assessed after the enrollment of patients (anticipated time: 2014/08/30).). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 5 Jan 2016.
