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

Study population: This study concerns individuals with jaundice with an indication for EUS examination of a pancreatic head solid lesion, a distal CBD mass, or a carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater who undergo diagnostic EUS-guided tissue acquisition or for evaluation of resectability, discovered at previously performed imaging studies. Only patients with a definitive diagnosis of neoplasia will enter in the final analysis. Eligible individuals will be recruited by endosonographers among the centers of the ECCO study group.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with jaundice and a pancreatic head mass lesion referred for EUS-guided tissue acquisition or staging
  • Patients with jaundice and a distal CBD lesion suggestive of cholangiocarcinoma or a carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater referred for EUS-guided tissue acquisition or staging
  • Serum bilirubin level ≥3 mg/dL
  • Age ≥18 years
  • Written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Presence of altered anatomy from previous gastric surgery (Billroth II or Roux-en-Y anastomosis)
  • Previously performed sphincterotomy, biliary plastic stent or metal stent placement
  • Previous percutaneous drainage of the bile duct
  • Pregnancy
  • Inability to sign the informed consent

About this study

Official title: Endoscopic Ultrasound Evaluation of the Common Bile Duct in Patients With Obstructive Jaundice Due to Bilio-Pancreatic Malignancies: A Multicenter Prospective Study

The main objective of the study is to evaluate the size of the common bile duct (CBD) in a large cohort of patients with jaundice secondary to pancreatic head or distal bile duct malignancy undergoing diagnostic EUS for tissue acquisition or evaluation of resectability and to establish factors associated with a dilation of the CBD greater than 15mm.

Read the detailed description

Rationale: The size of the common bile duct (CBD) may influence the type of stent used and the type of the procedure performed in cases of EUS-guided biliary drainage. However, no data of the size of the CBD in patients with jaundice presenting with a pancreatic head mass or with a distal cholangiocarcinoma/ carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater are available.

Objectives: To evaluate the size of the CBD in a large cohort of patients with jaundice secondary to pancreatic head or distal bile duct malignancy undergoing diagnostic EUS for tissue acquisition or evaluation of resectability and to establish factors associated with a dilation of the CBD greater than 15mm.

Study design: International prospective observational multicenter trial. Study population: Patients ≥18 years old, referred for EUS-guided tissue sampling or evaluation of resectability of a pancreatic, a distal bile duct lesion or a carcinoma of the ampulla of Vater determining obstructive jaundice.

Intervention: EUS examination Main study parameters/endpoints: measurement of the CBD in patients with an obstructive distal biliary mass. Determine the factors associated with a CBD greater than 15mm Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Measurement of the CBD during EUS examination does not add additional risks to the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Cancer and Cholangiocarcinoma of the Extrahepatic Bile Duct, run by Clinical Hospital Colentina at 1 site in Romania.

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 5 inclusion and 5 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 28 Apr 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 Romania. 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?

Common bile duct diameter (time frame: Enrollment over 6 months). 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 28 Apr 2020.
