About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Evaluate Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) for Biliary Stricture Imaging

The goal of this study is to evaluate the potential of comprehensive biliary Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) for assessing common bile duct or common hepatic duct strictures, determining cholangiocarcinoma margins, and evaluating primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).

Read the detailed description

The study will be conducted in approximately 20 patients with known or suspected common bile duct or common hepatic duct stricture scheduled for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with duodenoscope-assisted cholangiopancreatoscopy (DACP) and biopsy.

Following initial fluoroscopic evaluation, the study experimental procedure will begin. The catheter will be passed through the auxiliary channel of the duodenoscope, across the papilla and into the common bile duct. The extra-biliary portion of the catheter will be visible by the duodenoscope at all times. The intrabiliary portion of the catheter will be visible by fluoroscopy, and will be positioned across the biliary stricture. Rotational cross-sectional images of the bile duct will be obtained using the OFDI imaging catheter while pulling back the internal optical components over a pre-determined length. OFDI imaging will be conducted approximately from 1 cm distal to 1 cm and proximal to the stricture margins identified by fluoroscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MGH Optical Frequency Domain Imaging (OFDI) in people with Biliary Stricture, run by Massachusetts General Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 10 Apr 2019. 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 19 Sep 2018). 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?

Feasibility of Imaging the Bile Duct With the OFDI Probe (time frame: day 1, during diagnostic procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Apr 2019.
