About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Unilateral Versus Bilateral Stenting for Malignant Hilar Biliary Obstruction to Use a Large Cell Niti-S (LCD) Stent

Internal biliary drainage is an useful method for a control of jaundice and cholangitis to patients who had a malignant hilar obstruction due to hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, gall bladder cancer or metastatic lymphadenopathy.

Bilateral biliary drainage is more physiologic but technically difficult to compared with unilateral biliary drainage specially related to conformability and flexibility between using stents.

Read more

There are no prospective clinical trials compared with these internal biliary drainage methods in hilar malignant obstruction using metal stent.

Therefore, the investigators want to compare the clinical outcome of two method: Unilateral biliary stent and Bilateral biliary stent

Being tested
stent insertion, Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatoscopy(ERCP)
Medical subject headings
Cholangiocarcinoma, Carcinoma, Hepatocellular, Gallbladder Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • stent insertionDevice

    Also called Niti-S large cell D-type biliary stent [LCD]

    to use a LCD stent at an unilateral or bilateral stent insertion

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatoscopy(ERCP)Procedure or surgery

    to use ERCP for a stent insertion in an obstructive biliary tract

What is being measured

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

  1. Stent patency

    Participants will followed for the new obstruction(new jaundice) will occur.

    Measured: up to 1year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. survival period

    Participants will followed for 1year.

    Measured: up to 1year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing stent insertion and Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatoscopy(ERCP) in people with Obstruction of Biliary Tree and Cholangiocarcinoma, run by Kwang Hyuck Lee.

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 3 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2016. 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?

Stent patency (time frame: up to 1year). 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 26 Apr 2016.
