Trial summary

Endoscopic sphincterotomy and temporary stenting is a routine treatment for post cholecystectomy cystic duct leakage. The draw back is that the plastic stent need to be removed later in a second intervention. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Biodegradable Biliary Stent for Post Operative Cystic Duct Leakage. Pilot Study

Endoscopic sphincterotomy and temporary stenting is a routine treatment for post cholecystectomy cystic duct leakage. The draw back is that the plastic stent need to be removed later in a second intervention. Our studies with animal models have demonstrated that biodegradable biliary stent is at least as good as conventional plastic stent to heal that kind of leakage. In this pilot study the biodegradable biliary stent is inserted endoscopically to patients with confirmed cystic duct leakage to demonstrate the efficacy in human setting.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical healing of bile leakage

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Laboratory tests for liver function, ultra sound for bile collections and bile duct diameter and abdominal plain X-ray for stent degradation

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing endoscopic bile duct stenting in people with Cyst, run by Tampere University at 1 site in Finland.

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 0 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jun 2010. 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 Finland. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Clinical healing of bile leakage (time frame: 1 month). 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 28 Jun 2010.
