About this study

Official title: Prospective Study on the Comparison Between the Clinicopathological Outcomes According to the Methods of Preoperative Biliary Drainage in Periampullary Cancers Causing Obstructive Jaundice

Preoperative biliary drainage methods include percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD), endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD), and endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD). Endoscopic biliary drainages often induce peritumoral inflammation and it increase difficulties in determining a proper resection margin. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinicopathological outcomes according to the methods of preoperative biliary drainage in periampullary cancers causing obstructive jaundice, and to find out a proper biliary drainage method.

Study groups in NCT01134276
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PTBDActive comparatorbiliary drainage : PTBD procedure for obstructive jaundice in patients with periampullary cancer
Receives: Procedure: biliary drainage
ERBDActive comparatorbiliary drainage : ERBD/ENBD procedure for obstructive jaundice in patients with periampullary cancer
Receives: Procedure: biliary drainage

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Infectious Complications After Biliary Drainage

    at least 90 days after operation change in serum bilirubin cholangitis blood test (complete blood cell count, liver function test, CRP)

    Measured: within 120 days after drainage

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Total Serum Bilirubin After Drainage

    Effect of reducing serum total bilirubin after drainage in terms of Daily diminution of bilirubin(mg/dL/day)

    Measured: within 14 days after drainage

  2. Total Hospital Cost During Admission After Biliary Drainage

    Total hospital cost during admission after Biliary Drainage in US dollars

    Measured: during hospital stay for biliary drainage procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing biliary drainage in people with Periampullary Cancers With Obstructive Jaundice and Pancreas Head Cancer, run by Seoul National University Hospital 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 7 inclusion and 6 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 11 Jun 2014. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Jun 2014). 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?

Incidence of Infectious Complications After Biliary Drainage (time frame: within 120 days after drainage). 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 NCT01134276, which also lists 4 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?
