About this study

Official title: Intraluminal Implantation of Radioactive Stents for Treatment of Unresectable Biliary Tract Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether radioactive stents and common used plastic stents are effective and safety in the treatment of unresectable biliary tract cancer.

Read the detailed description

Patients with unresectable biliary tract cancer (intrahepatic or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, or ampullary carcinoma) were enrolled and placed with a stent loaded with radioactive seeds (irradiation stent group) or a conventional plastic stent (traditional stent group). After stent placement, the outcomes were compared in terms of tumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival time, and complications related to the procedures.

What participants receive

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

  • radioactive stentDevice

    Also called brand names: carriable radioactive bile duct plastic stent, serial numbers and code name: PBS1-A/B-10/160/140

    radioactive stent carrying seed iodine 125

  • plastic stentDevice

    common plastic stent without carrying seed iodine 125

Study groups in NCT02238613
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
radioactive stentExperimentalThe radioactive stent carrying seeds iodine 125 is made of Polytetrafluoroethylene. It will be implanted in the common bile duct by ERCP(endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) of the irradiation group patients.
Receives: Device: radioactive stent
plastic stentOtherThe plastic stent is made of polyethylene. It will be implanted in the common bile duct by ERCP(endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography) of the conventional group patients.
Receives: Device: plastic stent

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor Response rate

    The investigators will conduct CT test or MRI scan after the implantation of the stents in order to measure the tumor size of each patients and evaluate the best tumor response according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0).

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Progression-free survival

    In order to research the progression-free survival, the investigators will check the presence of progression disease for each patients until the date of disease progression or death.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. overall survival

    Overall survival was calculated from the date of randomization until the date of death.

    Measured: follow-up in interval of stent insertion and death (1 years)

  3. Adverse events

    Individual adverse events

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing radioactive stent and plastic stent in people with Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Cholangiocarcinoma of the Extrahepatic Bile Duct, run by 307 Hospital of PLA at 1 site in China.

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 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2014. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yan Liu, MD,PhD (86-13911798288, 13911798288@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor Response rate (time frame: 3 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 12 Sep 2014.
