Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to create a long-term storage of bile and brushings of pancreato-biliary duct in patients diagnosed with pancreato-biliary stricture for future research. Recently, a lot of research has been done to test for certain markers in the bile and brushings to detect cancer in a stricture. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to create a long-term storage of bile and brushings of pancreato-biliary duct in patients diagnosed with pancreato-biliary stricture for future research.

Recently, a lot of research has been done to test for certain markers in the bile and brushings to detect cancer in a stricture. The samples will be used to measure biomarkers (proteins) in biliary diseases.

Read the detailed description

Recently, a lot of research has been done to test for certain markers like fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), digital image analysis (DIA), and quantifiable morphometric results in biliary stricture brushings. Recently, polysomy FISH has been studied as a promising marker in predicting cancer in a pancreato-biliary stricture. Many genetic, epigenetic, and protein alterations arise during pancreaticobiliary tumor process. The types of markers that have been commonly evaluated as diagnostic assays are mutations, chromosomal gains and losses, and DNA methylation alterations. However there are only a few studies in this area. Testing for these markers can help determine whether the narrowing or stricture in your bile duct is cancer or not.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Duct Strictures and Biliary Duct Strictures, run by The Cleveland Clinic 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 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 30 Mar 2017. 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?

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01565460, which also lists 2 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 30 Mar 2017.
