Trial summary

Laboratory change induced by common bile duct (CBD) stone is in general observed as the higher elevation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptideas (ɤ-GT), in comparison to those of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 90 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: "Patients have been diagnosed as CBD stone under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Among patients, patients who displayed above 400 IU/L of aminotransferase without cholangitis (gallstone hepatitis group) and patients who showed the normal value of aminotransferase (control group) were enrolled in this study. We estimated two groups by comparing clinical features, lab finding, radiologic images, and findings under ERCP such as CBD diameter, CBD stone diameter, CBD stone number, periampullary diverticulum.

Who may be able to join

  • patients were diagnosed with CBD stone under endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
  • patients showing above 400 IU/L of aminotransferase when at the first admitted into hospital and the control groups is the patients displaying normal AST and ALT.

Who cannot join

  • 1. underlying hepatobiliary disease 2. alcoholics 3. cholangitis

About this study

Official title: The Clinical Characteristics of the Patients With Choledocholithiasis Without Cholangitis Showing the High Level of Aminotransferase and the Establishment of New Nomenclature ; Gallstone Hepatitis

Laboratory change induced by common bile duct (CBD) stone is in general observed as the higher elevation of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and gamma-glutamyl transpeptideas (ɤ-GT), in comparison to those of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). However, some patients with CBD stone show the marked increased level of aminotransferase, which sometimes leads to misdiagnose those as liver disease caused by viral hepatitis, ischemia, and drug toxicity. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinicopathologic features of patients with CBD stones with the high level of aminotransferase in serum.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Choledocholithiasis, run by Gangnam Severance Hospital.

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 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 3 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

clinicopathologic features of patients with CBD stones with the high level of aminotransferase (time frame: 1year). 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 3 Feb 2021.
