About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Endoscopically-placed Self Expandable Stents

The current standard of care for bile duct stone are endoscopic sphincterotomy and stone extraction. Placement of plastic stents is an option for incomplete biliary stone clearance. This study will use the CSEMS in patients with complex biliary stones who failed stone extraction as they have the advantage of large stent diameter. CSEMS may offer a temporizing measure that allows more successful subsequent stone clearance. However, their use in benign condition has been limited especially for biliary stone removal. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility, safety, easy removability, stent-stone formation rate, and migration rate of CSEMS for complex biliary stones.

What is being measured

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

  1. complete biliary stone clearance

    This is an observational study where the ERCP being done is part of the standard of care for choledocholithiasis. There are no study interventions

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. other techniques used for stone clearance

    This will include the number of ERCP's needed to achive the complete biliary stone clearance, Use of mechanical Lithotripsy, use of cholangioscopy, procedure duration and any adverse events safety

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Choledocholithiasis, run by University of Florida.

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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

complete biliary stone clearance (time frame: 12 months). 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 27 Jun 2013.
