About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of the Accuracy of Spybite Biopsy Forceps for the Tissue Diagnosis of Lesion of the Pancreatobiliary System. ( Part of the "The Clinical Utility of Cholangioscopy and Pancreatoscopy in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pancreaticobiliary Disorders" Study)

The investigators are evaluating the use of a SpyBite biopsy forceps for tissue diagnosis when compared to standard biopsy techniques.

Read the detailed description

The participants will undergo an Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with cholangiopancreatoscopy and evaluation of a bile duct or pancreatic duct stricture with three different types of techniques for biopsy: SpyBite biopsy forceps, cytology brush and RJ3biopsy forceps.

Being tested
ERCP with cholangiopancreatoscopy

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Accurate Diagnoses of Cancer

    The diagnostic accuracy of the Spybite Biopsy forceps was compared to both the cytology brush and the RJ3 biopsy forceps sampling of any stricture or biliary lesions found on Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). All three methods were used at baseline to obtain a sample for the determination of cancer vs. no cancer.

    Measured: up to 7 days after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Procedure Technical Success

    The procedure technical success was defined when all of the following criteria were met: Successful advancement of the cholangioscope to the desired target, adequate cholangioscopic visualization of the area of interest, and successful applications of of all sampling maneuvers with visible tissue seen macroscopically when obtaining mini forceps and standard forceps biopsy samples.

    Measured: day 1

  2. Total Procedure Time

    The total time to perform ERCP

    Measured: 120 minutes

  3. Total Cholangioscopy Time

    This is the total time it takes for the dye to be performed during the ERCP.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  4. Cholangioscopy Visualization Time

    The portion of the total ERCP time spent on Cholangioscopy visualization.

    Measured: 30 minutes

  5. Sampling Times for Each Device

    The sampling time of the Spybite Biopsy forceps was compared to both the cytology brush and the RJ3 biopsy forceps of any stricture or biliary lesions found on Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

    Measured: 15 minutes

  6. Adverse Events

    Adverse events were prospectively evaluated at the end of the procedure, at discharge from the endoscopy unit, and by telephone call 24 hours post procedure. Adverse events were defined and graded using the 2010 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy consensus criteria.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERCP with cholangiopancreatoscopy in people with Accuracy of Tissue Diagnosis and Bile Duct Stricture, 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 4 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 3 Aug 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 3 Aug 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?

Percentage of Participants With Accurate Diagnoses of Cancer (time frame: up to 7 days after the procedure). 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 NCT01227382, 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 3 Aug 2015.
