About this study

Official title: DGT Versus TPS in Patients With Initial PD Cannulation by Chance; Prospective Randomized Multi-center Study

In patients with pancreatic duct cannulation initially by chance, double guide wire technique and trans pancreatic sphincterotomy facilitate biliary cannulation and show the similar success rates. The incidence of post-procedure pancreatitis was similar in the two groups, but post-procedure hyperamylasemia was significantly higher in the DGT group.

Read the detailed description

This was a prospective, randomized study conducted in three tertiary referral hospital in Korea. Three endoscopists performed the ERCP who had ERCP experience more than ten years From October 2010 to August 2012, ERCPs were performed on patients with pancreatobiliary diseases at Soonchunhyang University Seoul Hospital, Hanyang University Guri Hospital and Kosin University Gospel Hospital. Bile duct cannulation was attempted for various reasons (removal of bile duct stones, biliary stenting, cytology of bile, biopsy of the bile duct, etc.).

Patients who satisfied the following inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study: (1) initially pancreatic duct cannulation by chance, (2) successful insertion of the guidewire into the pancreatic duct to at least half of the presumed total length of the pancreatic duct,, and (3) age 20 years or older. Exclusion criteria were: (1) refusal the ERCP, (2) previous endoscopic sphincterotomy or endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation, (3) acute pancreatitis at the time of the procedure, (4) pregnancy and (5) anatomical change due to past surgery; total gastrectomy, Billroth II operation, Whipples's operation etc. Patients who satisfied the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to either the double-guidewire technique (DGT) group or the transpancreatic precut sphincterotomy (TPS) group; A randomization list for group allocation was generated by using computer-based pseudo-random number generators. We compared both techniques , for a maximum of ten extra attempts which are CBD cannulation by each methods. We obtained the written informed consent from all enrolled patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tracer Hybrid® Wire Guides, Tracer Metro® Direct™ Wire Guide in people with Pancreatitis and Cholangitis, run by Soon Chun Hyang University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 7 Dec 2012. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

success rate between DGT and TPS (time frame: up to 22months). 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 7 Dec 2012.
