About this study

Official title: Effect of Preoperative Biliary Drainage on Postoperative Complications in Resectable Patients With Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma(Klatskin Tumor)

This study is to investigate whether preoperative biliary drainage can reduce the postoperative morbidity in patients with hilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Preoperative biliary drainage(PBD) or not, is a Hot Spot issue in the management of Hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Surgeons from Japan tend to perform PTBD(Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage) before a definite operation until the total bilirubin(TB) lower than 85μmol/L. For some patients needed to perform extended curative resection, PVE(Portal Vein Embolization) is performed and thus the duration of PBD may be around six weeks and the final TB is lower than 34μmol/L. Some tend to perform a definite curative operation in a short time after diagnosis. There is no RCT research on the effect of PBD for the resectable Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma patients to date.

What participants receive

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

  • Preoperative biliary drainageProcedure or surgery

    Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage(PTBD) is performed under the guidance of ultrasound. The duration may be around four weeks to make the total bilirubin of patients lower than 85μmol/L.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Preoperative biliary drainage in people with Cholangiocarcinoma and Drainage, run by Sun Yat-sen University 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 6 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Nov 2008. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lijian Liang (86-20-87755766 ext. 8096, lianglj@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of postoperative complication (time frame: 30 days after operation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00797121, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 25 Nov 2008.
