About this study

A periampullary lesion may be begin as duodenal adenoma, ampullary adenoma, gall stone pregnant ampulla, Stricture, or periampullary lipoma, or malignant as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, distal CBD cholangiocarcinoma, ampullary carcinoma and periampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma.

The aim of the study is to detect incidence of different types of periampullary lesions detected by ERCP in Assuit University Hospital and the role of ERCP in early detection, diagnosis and management and diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of biopsy and brush cytology taken by ERCP in a period of 1 years starting from June 2017 to June 2018.

Read the detailed description

Periampullary lesion is defined as lesion located in 2CM around the ampulla of Vater. Periampullary lesions, identified during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), duodenoscopy or endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) often present a diagnostic dilemma. Although some of these lesions represent a benign lesion, they also occur in case of malignancy. Therefore, management of periampullary lesions widely varies from observation for low-grade dysplasia to pancreaticoduodenectomy in case of invasive carcinoma. Unfortunately, endoscopic biopsies are by definition superficial and, therefore, the risk of a sample errors exists. On the other hand the similarity in presentation and the difficulty in accurate location of the origin of these lesions often leads to a diagnostic challenge. ERCP in addition to its diagnostic value it allows therapeutic procedures, such as sphincterotomy, stenting, and nasobiliary drainage. It permits sampling of pancreatic juice, bile, and brush or grasp biopsy, but endoscopic biopsies are by definition superficial and, therefore, the risk of a sample errors exists .

ERCP is an invasive procedure that requires an expert endoscopist/radiologist and a cooperative patient.

Very small tumors (< 1 cm) can be missed. A periampullary lesion may be begin as duodenal adenoma, ampullary adenoma, gall stone pregnant ampulla, Stricture, or periampullary lipoma, or malignant as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, distal CBD cholangiocarcinoma, ampullary carcinoma and periampullary duodenal adenocarcinoma, pancreatic carcinoma.

The aim of the study is to detect incidence of different types of periampullary lesions detected by ERCP in Assuit University Hospital and the role of ERCP in early detection, diagnosis and management and diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of biopsy and brush cytology taken by ERCP in a period of 1 years starting from June 2017 to June 2018.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ERCP guided biopsy or brush cytology in people with ERCP, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 May 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

percentage of different types of periampullary massesand efficacy of ERCP guided biopsy calculating the number of cases correctly diagnosed by ERCP or guided biopsy (time frame: one year). 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 11 May 2020.
