Study population: Patients with benign tracheal stenosis who underwent endoscopic tracheal stent placements at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, a university-affiliated hospital in Northern Taiwan, were evaluated. Chest surgeon were routinely consulted to evaluate feasibility of silicon stent placement in benign airway obstruction. All patients in our study were those unsuitable to receive silicon stent placement.

  • age > 18 years,
  • benign tracheal obstruction,
  • receive Ultraflex metallic stent placement under flexible bronchoscopy.

Who cannot join

  • malignant diseases,
  • feasibility to receive surgical treatment or silicon stent placement.

About this study

This study is aimed to determine factors leading to obstructive granulation tissue formation after placement of Self-Expandable Metallic Stent (SEMS) in patients with benign tracheal diseases.

Read the detailed description

From August 2001 to September 2007, patients with benign tracheal stenosis who underwent endoscopic tracheal stent placements at the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, a university-affiliated hospital in Northern Taiwan, were evaluated.

Definition of airway conditions Dynamic collapse (tracheao-malacia) was defined as tracheal lumen narrowing on expiration under bronchoscopic examination. Structural tracheal stenosis was defined as tracheal stenosis excluding dynamic collapse. Etiologies of structural tracheal stenosis were post-intubation or tracheostomy, post-tuberculosis infection, granulation tissue formation cause previous SEMS re-stenosis, previous SEMS fracture, corrosive injury with stricture, mediastinitis cause airway stricture, and goiter compression.

Obstructive granulation tissue formation after SEMS implantation was defined as granulation tissue obstructing the lumen of the SEMS under bronchoscopic examination, including the proximal and distal ends.

Significant variables, such as structural obstruction airway before SEMS implantation was entered into a forward logistical regression analysis to determine the net effect of each predictor while controlling the net effects of others to obstructive granulation tissue formation. Obstructive granulation tissue formation curves between patients with and those without structural tracheal stenosis before SEMS implantation were compared by log rank test.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, run by Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Nov 2009. 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 Taiwan. 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?

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?

factors to obstructive granulation tissue formation (time frame: time from stent placement to granualtion tissue formation after metallic stent placement in benign tracheal obstruction.). 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 NCT01006200, which also lists 3 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 2 Nov 2009.
