About this study

Official title: Lumen Apposing Metal Stents vs Lumen Apposing Metal Stent Plus Double Pigtail Stent for Endoscopic Drainage of Pancreatic Fluid Collections: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The study hypothesis is that placement of LAMS plus an overlapping double pigtail stent for endoscopic transmural drainage of PFCs with solid debris will result in improved drainage and require fewer endoscopic interventions compared to placement of LAMS alone.

Read the detailed description

The study hypothesis is that placement of LAMS plus an overlapping double pigtail stent for endoscopic transmural drainage of PFCs with solid debris will result in improved drainage and require fewer endoscopic interventions compared to placement of LAMS alone.

Adult patients with symptomatic pancreatic fluid collections who are scheduled to undergo EUS-guided drainage of PFCs with LAMS placement will be eligible for study participation. The initial portion of this procedure consists of diagnostic EUS for imaging and assessment of the PFC. This EUS examination is able to distinguish the relative liquid and solid components of PFCs, detail which may not be evident by CT imaging. Adult patients with PFCs consisting of >30% solid component as assessed at the time of EUS will be eligible for randomization. This threshold was selected as the enrollment criteria in order to select patients with a significant solid necrotic component to the lesion, as prior study of patients undergoing LAMS placement for drainage of PFCs have used >70% fluid content as the definition for a PFC with predominantly liquid contents.

Allocation to study arm will be determined by the contents of sealed envelope. Subjects randomized to LAMS alone will undergo EUS-guided transmural placement of an Axios stent with a 15 mm luminal diameter. The choice of transgastric or transduodenal LAMS placement will be at the discretion of the endoscopist and contingent upon PFC location and window relative to the EUS transducer. Subjects randomized to LAMS plus double pigtail stent will undergo EUS-guided transmural placement of a single Axios stent with a 15 mm luminal diameter; following this, wire access across the stent lumen will be achieved using a 0.035 inch hydrophilic guidewire, and a double pigtail plastic biliary stent (6 French, 7 French, or 10 French at the discretion of the endoscopist) will be deployed over the wire. The use of fluoroscopy for stent deployment will be at the discretion of the endoscopist.

The primary end point: Greater than 50% decrease in size of PFC (in mm), compared to pre-intervention size (in mm), on cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) imaging at 30 days following stent placement. This was selected as the primary outcome in order to maintain consistency with the primary outcomes of a prior multicenter study of LAMS placement for PFCs.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Lumen Apposing Metal Stent (LAMS)Device

    Also called Axios Stent

    The AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System is an endoscopic device designed to enable the ultrasound trained interventional endoscopist to deliver a transenteric stent between the gastrointestinal tract and a pancreatic pseudocyst.

  • LAMS plus double pigtail stentDevice

    The AXIOS Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System is an endoscopic device designed to enable the ultrasound trained interventional endoscopist to deliver a transenteric stent between the gastrointestinal tract and a pancreatic pseudocyst. The double pigtail stent is a routinely used plastic biliary stent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Decrease in Pancreatic Fluid Collection (PFC)

    Greater than 50% decrease in size of PFC (in mm) compared to pre-intervention size (in mm) as measured on cross-sectional computed tomography (CT) imaging

    Measured: 30 days following placement of stent

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Clinical Success Rate for Draining of Pancreatic Fluid Collection (PFC)

    Clinical success for drainage of PFC, defined as complete resolution of PFC on follow-up computed tomography (CT) imaging and stent removal within 3 months

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Number of Endoscopic Interventions Required for Resolution of PFC Prior to Stent Removal

    Number of endoscopic interventions required for resolution of Pancreatic Fluid Collection (PFC) prior to stent removal

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Incidence of Hospital Readmissions Following Initial Endoscopic Intervention and Prior to Resolution of Pancreatic Fluid Collection Stent Removal

    Incidence of hospital readmissions following initial endoscopic intervention and prior to resolution of Pancreatic Fluid Collection (PFC) stent removal

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Incidence of Surgical or Percutaneous Radiologic Intervention for PFC Following Initial Endoscopy Intervention

    Incidence of surgical or percutaneous radiologic intervention for Pancreatic Fluid Collection (PFC) following initial endoscopy intervention

    Measured: 3 months

  5. Incidence of Early (<30 Days) Endoscopic Reintervention

    Incidence of early (<30 days) endoscopic reintervention following initial endoscopic intervention

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lumen Apposing Metal Stent (LAMS) and LAMS plus double pigtail stent in people with Pancreatic Pseudocyst, run by Vanderbilt University Medical Center 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 2 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2021. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Decrease in Pancreatic Fluid Collection (PFC) (time frame: 30 days following placement of stent). 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 19 Aug 2021.
