About this study

Official title: The Use of Multi Holes Fully Covered Metallic Stents Versus Uncovered and Partially Covered Metallic Stents in the Management of Malignant Biliary Obstruction: Randomized Parallel Clinical Trial.

multiholes fully covered metallic stents in the management of malignant biliary obstruction

Read the detailed description

Malignant biliary obstruction is still a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge requiring a multidisciplinary approach. Most cases are inoperable at the time of diagnosis. Relieving the obstruction and normalizing the serum bilirubin level is usually the first step by biliary catheterization and stent placement.

Biliary stent placement has largely replaced surgical bypass for the palliation of malignant biliary obstruction. Rigid plastic stents, despite it is cheap and easily removed, but with limited duration of stent patency. Self-expandable metal stents (SEMS) have larger luminal diameters and provide longer patency time than rigid plastic stents. SEMS are composed of a variety of metals and can be uncovered, partially covered, or fully covered.

Uncovered stents are prone to obstruction by tumor growths; however, covered stents may block bile duct branches and are at risk of migration. A multihole self-expandable metallic stent was developed to prevent the obstruction of bile duct branches. In addition, the holes may prevent migration due to small ingrowths which reduce the tension of the membrane

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of multi holes fully covered metallic stents in management of malignant biliary obstruction

    Detect the stent in his place. Patients clinically improved, and bilirubin decrease or reach normal values.

    Measured: at 3 and 6 months follow up after stents ineration

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Stent dysfunction (obstruction or migration)

    detect the stents dysfunction either obstruction or migration by clinical examination and abdominal ultrasound

    Measured: after 3 and 6 months from stents insertion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing group 1, group 2 and group 3 in people with Malignant Biliary Obstruction, run by Zagazig University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2024. 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 Egypt. 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?

Efficacy of multi holes fully covered metallic stents in management of malignant biliary obstruction (time frame: at 3 and 6 months follow up after stents ineration). 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 24 Jul 2024.
