Trial summary

At the time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) examination of the pancreaticobiliary system is done indirectly by radiologic means. Contrast is injected into the bile and/or pancreatic duct and outline of the duct is then viewed by fluoroscopic imaging. Read more about this study

About this study

At the time of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) examination of the pancreaticobiliary system is done indirectly by radiologic means. Contrast is injected into the bile and/or pancreatic duct and outline of the duct is then viewed by fluoroscopic imaging. Frequently this is followed by diagnostic maneuvers (tissue acquisition) or therapeutic interventions (stone removal, stent insertion). Direct visualization of the bile and pancreatic ducts (cholangioscopy/pancreatoscopy) was developed 15 years ago and was shown to be superior to the indirect radiological view. The procedure did not become widely used secondary to high procedure related costs and equipment prone to failure. Recently a much improved (more affordable and more durable) cholangioscope was developed and approved by the FDA. The goal of this study is to prospectively record our experience with cholangioscopy and pancreatoscopy performed as medically indicated as part of standard medical care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful Procedure Completion

    Defined based on the indication for SpyGlass. For cases involving biliary or pancreatic stones the procedure was considered successful when complete stone clearance was accomplished. For cases involving established or suspected nonstone-related lesions of the pancreatobiliary system, success was defined when all of the following criteria were met: successful advancement of the SpyScope to the desired target, adequate visualization of the area of interest and successful applications of all diagnostic and/or therapeutic maneuvers that were deemed necessary based on the endoscopic findings.

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Disorders of the Pancreas and Biliary Tree, run by University of Florida 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 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2015. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Jul 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Successful Procedure Completion (time frame: baseline). 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 NCT00861198, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jul 2015.
