Study population: CP patients with pancreatic duct stones who underwent ERCP between February 2012 and December 2021were identified. The diagnosis of CP was established based on computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging or endoscopic ultrasound examinations.

Who may be able to join

  • CP patients with main pancreatic duct (MPD) stones who underwent ERCP

Who cannot join

  • Patients had undergone pancreatic surgery or gastrectomy with Billroth II reconstruction prior to the ERCP procedure
  • Patients were suspected of having a malignant tumor
  • Patients combined with bile duct stones
  • Patients had severe pancreatic duct structure
  • Patients with insufficient clinical data
  • Patients with previous ERCP treatment
  • Patients had received both catheters

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety Comparison of Balloon Catheter and Basket Catheter for Endoscopic Pancreatic Duct Stone Clearance

The aim of the study is to compare the safety and efficacy of the basket catheter with that of the balloon catheter for endoscopic extraction of pancreatic stones.

Read the detailed description

This is a retrospective cohort study. Patients with chronic pancreatitis who underwent ERCP for pancreatic duct stone extraction using either a basket or a balloon catheter were enrolled in this study.

Being tested
basket catheter, balloon catheter
Keywords
Pancreatic stone, Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), Basket catheter, Balloon catheter, Stone clearance
Medical subject headings
Pancreatitis, Chronic

What participants receive

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

  • basket catheterDevice

    Stone extraction is completed with either a basket or balloon catheter at the time of ERCP. The basket catheter is made of nickel-titanium wires which can be manipulated to trap and withdraw stones.

  • balloon catheterDevice

    Stone extraction is completed with either a basket or balloon catheter at the time of ERCP. The balloon catheter is made of latex, which is inflated after passing the stone, thus pushing the stone outwards.

What is being measured

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

  1. the rate of stone clearance in basket and balloon catheter groups

    complete clearance, defined as fragmentation of the pancreatic stones to < 3 mm and clearance of more than 90% of the fragments; partial clearance, defined as clearance of 50-90% of the fragments; and unsuccessful clearance, defined as the presence of pancreatic stones ≥ 3 mm or clearance of less than 50% of the fragments.

    Measured: 1 year after ERCP

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the rates of ERCP peri-procedural outcomes and the rates of complications of ERCP in basket and balloon catheter groups

    ERCP peri-procedural outcomes included difficult cannulation, endoscopic sphincterotomy, dilation of stenosis, and extraction through the minor papilla. Major post-ERCP complications, which were defined according to the Consensus Criteria, included post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), bleeding, infection, perforation, and basket impaction

    Measured: 1 year after ERCP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 7 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 5 Jun 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 China. 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 rate of stone clearance in basket and balloon catheter groups (time frame: 1 year after ERCP). 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 5 Jun 2023.
