What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • metallic biliary stent insertion (double bare - S&G Biotech.)Procedure or surgery

    The patients who had malignant biliary obstruction will be enrolled our study. Enrolled patient will be randomized to three group (uncovered double bare metallic stent (S\&G Biotech.) vs. uncovered single bare metallic stent (S\&G Biotech.) vs. uncovered single bare metallic stent (Taewoong Medical.)). After metallic biliary stent insertion, enrolled patients will be followed at least one time per one month. Blood test (including total bilirubin, gamma-GT) will be done for follow-up study. During follow-up period, if biliary obstruction is suspected, imaging study (CT or MRCP) will be done. With such follow-up tools, we compare 6-month patency rate and median patency duration among three groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Median patency duration

    Primary end point : A. Median patency duration

    Measured: Approximately 6 months later since the date of stent insertion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. 6-months patency rate

    Secondary end point : A. 6-months patency rate

    Measured: Approximately 6 months later since the date of stent insertion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing metallic biliary stent insertion (double bare - S&G Biotech.), metallic biliary stent insertion (single bare - S&G Biotech.) and metallic biliary stent insertion (single bare - Taewoong Medical.) in people with Malignant Biliary Obstruction, run by Yonsei 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 8 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 1 Oct 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 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.

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?

Median patency duration (time frame: Approximately 6 months later since the date of stent insertion). 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 NCT01869894, which also lists 3 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 1 Oct 2015.
