Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 and above
  • Non-complex biliary stone disease involving stones in the common bile or common hepatic duct.
  • Patient has undergone non-invasive imaging (abdo US, MRCP etc) which clearly delineates bile duct diameter and suggests non complex biliary stone disease.
  • Willing and able to comply with the study procedures and provide written informed consent to participate in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Age <18
  • Potentially vulnerable subjects including, homeless people, pregnant females, employees and students.
  • Participation in another related investigational study that could affect the results of this study within the previous 30 days
  • Complex biliary stone disease cases with unusual location of the stones (intra hepatic, cystic duct, stone proximal to bile duct stricture)
  • Known bile duct infection (cholangitis defined as ongoing fevers on the day of the ERCP procedure or purulence evident at the ampulla or bile duct on cannulation/sphincterotomy. If clear bile is aspirated during the study procedure, we will proceed according to study procedures. If purulence is detected upon aspiration of bile during the procedure, patient will be excluded from the study and undergo standard radiation-based ERCP rather than cholangioscopy.)
  • 5) Complex post-surgical anatomy e.g. Billroth type II anatomy, Roux-en-Y-gastrojejunostomy

What participants receive

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

  • CholangioscopyProcedure or surgery

    Cholangioscopy used instead of fluoroscopy-based ERCP to facilitate clearance of bile duct stones.

  • Spyglass DS CholangioscopeDevice

    Cholangioscopy used instead of fluoroscopy-based ERCP to facilitate clearance of bile duct stones.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cholangioscopy and Spyglass DS Cholangioscope in people with Choledocholithiasis and Biliary Obstruction, run by Stanford University 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 4 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 11 Sep 2018. 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?

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?

Stone clearance (time frame: During the cholangioscopy procedure). 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 NCT03074201, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Sep 2018.
