About this study

Official title: Newly Designed Fully Covered Metal Stent for the Benign Biliary Stricture: Prospective Randomized Study

The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, easy removability, safety, and migration rate of flared end fully covered self-expanding metal stent (FCSEMS) and anchoring FCSEMS for benign biliary stricture.

Read the detailed description

Benign biliary strictures (BBS) are usually managed with plastic stents, whereas placement of uncovered metallic stents has been associated with failure related to mucosal hyperplasia. Fully covered self-expanding metal stent(FCSEMS) placement was reported as a useful method for BBS. However, stent migration was a frequent complication of CSEMS placement. Recently, flared end FCSEMS was developed to decrease stent migration, and anchoring CSEMS was newly developed.

Being tested
Bona stent® (Flared end FCSEMS), Hanarostent® (Anchoring FCSEMS)

What participants receive

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

  • Bona stent® (Flared end FCSEMS)Device

    Also called Bona stent® (Sewoon medical Co., LTD., Seoul, Korea)

    Flared end FCSEMS for benign bile duct stricture will be inserted with ERCP.

  • Hanarostent® (Anchoring FCSEMS)Device

    Also called Hanarostent® (M.I.Tech, Seoul, Korea)

    Anchoring FCSEMS for benign bile duct stricture will be inserted with ERCP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Stent migration rate

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Feasibility (Technical success rate and functional success rate)

    Measured: one year

  2. Safety (Procedure related early complications occurred within one month and late complications occurred one month after the procedure)

    Measured: one year

  3. Removability

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bona stent® (Flared end FCSEMS) and Hanarostent® (Anchoring FCSEMS) in people with Bile Duct Disease, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 19 Oct 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 South Korea. 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?

Stent migration rate (time frame: one year). 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 NCT00945516, 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 19 Oct 2010.
