About this study

Official title: Role of Biodegradable Polydioxanone Biliary Stents for the Percutaneous Treatment of Benign Biliary Strictures.

To assess safety and effectiveness in the long term of percutaneous insertion of Biodegradable (BD) Biliary Stents for the treatment of benign biliary strictures, in a single center experience.

Read the detailed description

This is an observational study (retrospective analysis on a prospective database) of patients that have been implanted a biodegradable stent in the biliary tree to treat benign stenosis.

From march 2011 until May 2020, a prospective collection of clinical data has been conducted in patients with symptomatic benign biliary strictures treated biodegradable polydioxanone stents. A strict follow-up protocol has been carried out according to standard practice (at 2, 4, 6 months and every 6 months up to 5 years). Once the follow-up is completed, the collected data will be analyzed, assessing the long term effectiveness and safety, but also other variables related to stent implantation and impact on patient's quality of life.

A subgroup analysis of anastomotic biliary strictures will be performed.

What participants receive

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

  • Percutaneous placement of biodegradable biliary stentsDevice

    Benign biliary strictures treated with polydioxanone (PPDX) stents (Ella-DV biliary stent, ELLACS, Hradec Králové, Czech Republic). The stents are implanted using a percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography. Before stent implantation, balloon bilioplasty is be performed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Stent Primary Patency

    Time until new intervention due to re-stenosis or occlusion (detected by clinical signs and symptoms and confirmed by blood-test disturbances and/or imaging tests)

    Measured: Time from stent implantation to new intervention due to restenosis or occlusion detected by clinical signs and symptoms and confirmed by blood-test disturbances and/or imaging tests), assessed up to 60 months

  2. Adverse Events

    Major and minor complications. The Clavien-Dindo classification will be used for grading the severity of complications.

    Measured: From stent implantation to completion of follow-up, up to 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Technical Success

    To correctly deploy a biodegradable stent using a percutaneous approach covering the stricture with a residual stenosis of less than 30% of the lumen, and correct flow of contrast through it into the intestinal lumen

    Measured: Immediate (during procedure)

  2. Length of Hospital Stay

    number of days that patients spend in hospital to have the stent inserted, including a 24-48h control cholangiogram

    Measured: nights from admission to perform the stent implantation to discharge of the patient from the hospital, assessed up to 365 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Biliary Stricture and Biliary Tract Diseases, run by Corporacion Parc Tauli at 1 site in Spain.

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 4 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 1 Mar 2023. 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 Spain. 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?

Stent Primary Patency (time frame: Time from stent implantation to new intervention due to restenosis or occlusion detected by clinical signs and symptoms and confirmed by blood-test disturbances and/or imaging tests), assessed up to 60 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Mar 2023.
