About this study

Official title: Comparison Between Fully Covered and Partially Covered Self-expandable Metal Stents With Anti-migration System for Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction

The purpose of this study is to compare the duration of stent patency between partially covered and fully covered SEMS for palliation of malignant distal bile duct obstruction.

Read the detailed description

Endoscopic stent placement has been used as a principle palliative method in patients with unresectable distal malignancy biliary obstruction. It has been pivotal in providing relief from obstructive jaundice, improving the quality of life, and allowing the maintenance of chemotherapy. Although SEMSs have been reported to be superior to plastic stents in terms of stent patency, they still have some debatable issues ; in uncovered SEMS, stent occlusion due to epithelial hyperplasia and tumor ingrowth through the metal mesh is a frequent problem, whereas covered SEMSs are prone to migration.

The aim of the current study is to compare the duration of stent patency between partially covered and fully covered SEMS as a primary objective, and investigate overall patient survival, stent occlusion rate, and incidence of adverse events including stent dysfunction as secondary objectives.

What participants receive

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

  • partially covered SEMSDevice

    Also called Insertion of partially covered SEMS (PCSEMS)

    Used for palliation of inoperable malignant distal bile duct obstruction.

  • fully covered SEMSDevice

    Also called Insertion of fully covered SEMS (FCSEMS)

    Used for palliation of inoperable malignant distal bile duct obstruction.

What is being measured

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

  1. duration of stent patency

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented stent dysfunction, assessed upto 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. overall survival

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause, assessed upto 12 months

  2. stent occlusion rate

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented stent occlusion, assessed up to 12 months

  3. stent related complication

    Measured: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented stent related complication, assessed up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing partially covered SEMS and fully covered SEMS in people with Biliary Tract Neoplasms, run by Samsung Medical Center 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jong Kyun Lee, M.D., Ph.D. (82-2-3410-3409, leejk@skku.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

duration of stent patency (time frame: From the date of randomization until the date of first documented stent dysfunction, assessed upto 12 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 Feb 2015.
