About this study

Official title: Best Biliary Drainage Option in Type II、III、IV Klatskin Tumor:ERCP or PTBD

To investigate the biliary drainage-related cholangitis and other complications of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) in the management of Klatskin tumor (KT) compared with endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD).

Read the detailed description

Operative treatment combined with preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) has been established as a safe management strategy for KT. Preoperative cholangitis was an independent risk factor for patients undergoing resection for KT. However, controversy exists regarding the preferred technique for PBD.

What participants receive

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

  • ERCP DrainageProcedure or surgery

    When advanced Klatskin Tumor patients need biliary drainage, they choose to perform endoscopic drainage after informed consent.

  • PTBD DrainageProcedure or surgery

    When advanced Klatskin Tumor patients need biliary drainage, they choose to perform percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage after informed consent.

    Pain score (scores:1-10)

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Length of hospital stay

    The total time of hospital stay

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Overall procedure related complication rate

    Pancreatitis, bleeding, perforation, seeding

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERCP Drainage and PTBD Drainage in people with Cholangitis, run by Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery Institute of Gansu Province 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2019. 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?

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?

Acute cholangitis (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 NCT03104582, 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 Jul 2019.
