Trial summary

Pyloric stenosis is a condition that develops in infants and that leads to an obstruction of the channel going out of the stomach. This study is being performed to determine if there is an advantage to the laparoscopic approach or the open approach for the surgical correction of the enlarged pylorus. Read more about this study

About this study

Pyloric stenosis is a condition that develops in infants and that leads to an obstruction of the channel going out of the stomach. This study is being performed to determine if there is an advantage to the laparoscopic approach or the open approach for the surgical correction of the enlarged pylorus.

Read the detailed description

Pyloromyotomy for pyloric stenosis has traditionally been performed via an open technique. With advancements in minimally invasive surgery in infants a laparoscopic approach has been developed. These two approaches have never been critically evaluated with regard to superiority of one technique over the other. This is a prospective randomized trial involving infants with pyloric stenosis. It will enroll 100 patients in each arm (statistical and power analysis was performed by Steve Simon, PhD). Parental consent will be obtained and the patients will be randomized to undergo open or laparoscopic pyloromyotomy. Patient age at diagnosis, electrolyte disturbances at diagnosis, ultrasound findings, operative approach, length of pyloromyotomy, operative times, time to tolerating full feeds, number of emesis episodes, length of hospitalization, operative charges, and hospital charges will be collected for comparison between the groups.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Laparoscopic pyloromyotomy in people with Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis, run by Children's Mercy Hospital Kansas City at 1 site in United States.

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 6 Apr 2007. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Operative Time. 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 6 Apr 2007.
