About this study

Official title: Management and Outcome of Borderline Common Bile Duct With Stone

Evaluation of the best line of treatment of borderline CBD stones associated with gallbladder stones whether by conservative treatment or endoscopic stone extraction as regard complete clearance rate of the CBD stones followed by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The secondary outcomes are overall complications related to each approach, technical difficulties and conversion rate during laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cost benefit relationship of each line of treatment.

Read the detailed description

Enrolled patients in the study will be randomized to either conservative treatment or ERCP and stone extraction. The randomization process will be done using closed envelop method and will be withdrawn by a nurse in the outpatient clinic.

  1. Patients in conservative treatment group will receive medical treatment in the form of antibiotics, analgesics and antispasmodics for 3 days. These patients will be followed up for improvement on the ground of clinical symptoms and serum bilirubin level and abdominal US for CBD stones.
  2. Improvement: If the stone spontaneously passes to the duodenum and CBD is clear completely from the stones proved by US, the patient will undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) within 3 days.
  3. No improvement: the patient will undergo ERCP and then LC.
  4. Patients in ERCP group will undergo ERCP and wide papillotomy and stone extraction directly then laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) within 3 days.

What participants receive

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

  • conservativeProcedure or surgery

    Also called G 1

    1- Patients in conservative treatment group will receive medical treatment in the form of antibiotics (3rd generation cephalosporine), analgesics (NSAID eg Ibuprofen) and antispasmodics for 3 days. These patients will be followed up for improvement on the ground of clinical symptoms and serum bilirubin level and abdominal US for CBD stones.

  • ERCPProcedure or surgery

    Also called G 2

    2- Patients in ERCP group will undergo ERCP and wide papillotomy and stone extraction directly then laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) within 3 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing conservative and ERCP in people with Common Bile Duct Stone, run by Mansoura University.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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 21 Jul 2015. 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 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?

complete clearance rate of the CBD stones (time frame: 30 DAYS). 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 NCT02460523, 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 21 Jul 2015.
