Trial summary

Pancreatic fluid collections (PFC) can occur as a complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis. PFC include pancreatic pseudocysts (PP) and walled-off necrosis (WON). The majorities of WON are asymptomatic and will resolve spontaneously. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of the New 20 mm Lumen Apposing Metal Stent (Lams) for Endoscopic Treatment of Pancreatic and Peripancreatic Fluid Collections: a Large, International, Multicenter Study

Pancreatic fluid collections (PFC) can occur as a complication of acute and chronic pancreatitis. PFC include pancreatic pseudocysts (PP) and walled-off necrosis (WON).

The majorities of WON are asymptomatic and will resolve spontaneously. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage has become the preferred treatment in the management of symptomatic PFC, with significant advantages compared with surgical and percutaneous drainage. Successful endoscopic management of the pancreatic fluid collections depends on the type of PFC. Studies have shown that endoscopic drainage of PP is greater than 90%, while success for WON is at best between 50-65%. Differences in treatment outcome are attributed to the viscosity and debris content of the PFC. Traditionally, the EUS-guided drainage has been performed with placement of multiple plastic stents or fully covered self-expanding metal stent.

Recently, lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS) have been developed. LAMS have been utilized for the access and drainage of pancreatic fluid collections (PFCs). To date, a variety of LAMS sizes have been commercially available and widely used. Studies have shown high technical success (89-100%) and high clinical success rate (93-100%). The larger diameter of LAMS facilitates better drainage of PFC contents when compared to the small caliber of plastic stents and allows necrosectomy in repeated sessions without the need for stent replacement.

A new LAMS with a larger (20mm) lumen diameter (the Hot Axios, Boston Scientific, Natick MA, USA) was released on the market, with the idea that a larger diameter would allow a faster drainage of PFCs and facilitate endoscopic necrosectomy. This is currently the largest diameter LAMS available.

Further studies are needed to determine the ideal size for a LAMS going forward to achieve maximal clinical benefit with minimal patient risk.

Aim of the investigator's study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the new 20 mm Hot Axios stent placement for EUS-guided transmural drainage of pancreatic fluid collections.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hot Axios stent in people with Pancreatic Diseases, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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 11 Jul 2019. 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 Italy. 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 investigators will evaluate the use of the new 20 mm Hot Axios in endoscopic transmural drainage through the reduction pof the bilirubin's value (time frame: 24 months). 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 11 Jul 2019.
