About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of the Clinical Utility of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Guided Cholangiopancreatoscopy With the SpyGlass DS.

This is a prospective evaluation of the clinical utility of the new cholangioscopy platform SpyGlass DS. The aims of this study are to prospectively document the clinical utility and technical aspects of ERCP with cholangioscopy and/or pancreatoscopy in the diagnosis and management of pancreatic-biliary disorders.

Read the detailed description

Cholangioscopy allows for direct visualization of the bile and pancreatic duct. In 2006, the SpyGlass Direct Visualization System for per-oral cholangiopancreatoscopy was introduced and since then has been shown to provide incremental diagnostic and therapeutic benefits. The main limitations of the original SpyGlass platform are fiber optic visualization system, limited tip angulation, square cut Spy scope tip, and complex multi-component setup. A new generation cholangioscopy platform, SpyGlass DS is currently in clinical use. The new system addresses many of the shortcomings of old platform including digital optics, improved tip angulation, tapered tip and simplified set up. It is unclear at this time whether this technical improvement will translate into better outcomes. Therefore, the investigators want to study the clinical utility of SpyGlass DS by prospectively collecting data on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing cholangioscopy with Spyglass DS as part of their routine medical care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Procedure Technical Success

    The performance of the Spyglass DS during the endoscopy will be based on the ability to reach the target site, obtain samples, and to deliver therapeutic intervention.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Time to Set-up the Spyglass DS for the Procedure

    The time it takes to set up the Spyglass DS and related equipment for the procedure.

    Measured: approximately 2 hours

  2. Measurement of Total Procedure Time Using the Spyglass DS

    Time in minutes will be calculated for completing the procedure with the Spyglass DS.

    Measured: approximately 2 hours

  3. Measurement in Minutes for Spyglass DS Diagnostic Maneuvers

    The time it takes to perform the diagnostic maneuvers with the SpyGlass DS measured in minutes.

    Measured: approximately 2 hours

  4. Measurement in Minutes for Spyglass DS Therapeutic Maneuvers

    The time it takes to perform the therapeutic maneuvers with the SpyGlass DS in cases sampling was attempted measured in minutes.

    Measured: approximately 2 hours

  5. Number of Cholangioscopic Exams That Detected Ductal Stones

    The abnormalities found during the procedure, such as ductal stones.

    Measured: Day 1

  6. Strictures Found During the Procedure Will be Measured

    The abnormalities found during the procedure, such as strictures.

    Measured: Day 1

  7. Spybite Sampling Attempts Per Procedure

    The mean number of attempts per procedure

    Measured: Day 1

  8. Number of Participants With Successful Removal of the Biliary or Pancreas Stones

    The successful removal of the biliary or pancreas stones will be determined by the need for additional procedures.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cholangiopancreatoscopy in people with Biliary Tract Disease, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 2 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 30 Mar 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Procedure Technical Success (time frame: Day 1). 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 30 Mar 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
