About this study

Official title: Comparison of Metal Versus Plastic Side-by-side Stent Insertion in Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction

The purpose of this study was to compare the difference in the stent patency duration between side-by-side fully covered self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) and side-by-side plastic stents in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction.

Read the detailed description

In the case of distal common bile duct obstruction, the SEMS was reported to be clinically superior to the plastic stent in previous studies. However, there are few studies comparing the two methods in patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction. In contrast to the distal common bile duct obstruction, the advantage of plastic stents over SEMSs exists, and plastic stents are used commonly in real clinical practice.

Being tested
endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography

What participants receive

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

  • endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatographyProcedure or surgery

    Also called Plastic stent, FCSEMS

    In patients who were identified to have malignant hilar biliary obstruction, bilateral stents insertion is attempted via ERCP. There will be two groups divided by stent material; FCSEMS and Plastic stent.

Study groups in NCT03857958
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FCSEMSExperimentalIn patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction, endoscopic drainage is performed for biliary drainage. Since intrahepatic bile ducts are separated, it is preferable to insert a stent into bilateral intrahepatic bile ducts for bile drainage if possible. In FCSEMS group, patients are inserted with Fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) bilaterally for malignant hilar biliary stricture via endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography.
Receives: Procedure: endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography
Plastic stentActive comparatorIn patients with malignant hilar biliary obstruction, endoscopic drainage is performed for biliary drainage. Since intrahepatic bile ducts are separated, it is preferable to insert a stent into bilateral intrahepatic bile ducts for bile drainage if possible. In plastic stent group, patients are inserted with plastic stents bilaterally for malignant hilar biliary stricture.
Receives: Procedure: endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of stent patency

    The period from the insertion of the stent to the point at which stent revision is required.

    Measured: 9 months after randomization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography in people with Malignant Hepatobiliary Neoplasm, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 1 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 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 South Korea. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Min su You, MD (82-2-2072-2228, bass105@hanmail.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Duration of stent patency (time frame: 9 months after randomization.). 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 4 Apr 2019.
