About this study

Official title: Digital SpyGlass Cholangioscopy Confirmed Common Bile Duct Stones Clearance Without Fluoroscopy

This study aim to evaluated the effectiveness of Digital SpyGlass Cholangioscopy to facilitate common bile duct stone removal without fluoroscopy

Read the detailed description

Patients This study recruited patients who suspected/confirmed CBDS from clinical manifestation, liver function tests and imaging studies. With CBD sized between 5 and 15 millimeters, which measured from transabdominal ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). The exclusion criteria were history of bile duct surgery, bile duct stricture, bile duct tumors, severe comorbid diseases, unstable vital signs, pregnancy, and coagulopathy. All patients were informed and wrote informed consent for the procedure.

Procedures Non-fluoroscopic CBDS removal was performed by experienced endoscopists, using standard side-viewing duodenoscope. After identified major papilla, the investigators performed bile duct cannulation with guidewire assisted technique. Successful cannulation confirmed by visualized bile aspiration. If the patients had difficult cannulation, double guidewire technique was used. After the successful bile duct cannulation, the investigators performed endoscopic standard sphincterotomy (EST). Precut sphincterotomy was not used in this study. Non fluoroscopic balloon extraction was performed. The balloon was pushed up to hilum then the investigators sweep until suspected complete CBD clearance. After that the investigators used digital SpyGlassTM to confirm the complete clearance of CBDS. If SpyGlassTM showed residual CBD stone, the investigators repeat balloon extraction. If SpyGlassTM showed complete clearance, the investigator proceed to perform final cholangiogram as reference standard for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangioscopy by SpyGlass (ERCS) in people with Common Bile Duct Diseases and Stone - Biliary, run by Chulalongkorn University.

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 7 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 18 Nov 2016. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Success rate of SpyGlass assisted non-fluoroscopic common bile duct stones removal (time frame: 1 year). 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 18 Nov 2016.
