Trial summary

Selective cannulation is an essential step for the success of ERCP. The successful cannulation is influenced by types of disease (such as Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and duodenal stricture), the experience of endoscopists and the anatomy of papilla. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Anatomy of Major Duodenal Papilla on the Difficulty of Cannulation During Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Selective cannulation is an essential step for the success of ERCP. The successful cannulation is influenced by types of disease (such as Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and duodenal stricture), the experience of endoscopists and the anatomy of papilla. It is suggested that the size, morphology, orientation and location of major duodenal papilla (MDP), could cause a difficult cannulation (Endoscopy 2016; 48: 657-683). However, the related evidences are limited. The investigators hypothesized that special anatomy of papilla, such as a lanky shape (defined by the higher ratio of length to width) and a deeper location, could increase the difficulty of cannulation. Here the investigators investigated the effects of the anatomy of major duodenal papilla on post-ERCP pancreatitis and the procedure of cannulation in patients undergoing ERCP.

What participants receive

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

  • MDPOther

    evaluate the anatomy of each major duodenal papilla before selective cannulation during ERCP

Study groups in NCT03550768
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MDPERCP was performed by trainees or trainers. Before the cannulation, the photo of major duodenal papilla will be taken carefully to evaluate its size, morphology, orientation and location. All patients initially received wire-guided cannulation with a sphincterotome, If cannulation failed, precut sphincterotomy or the double-wire technique was performed when appropriate. Therapeutic manipulation (eg, sphincterotomy, balloon dilation, stone extraction, and stenting) was done when appropriate. Pancreatic duct stent placement was performed at the discretion of the endoscopists.

What is being measured

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

  1. post-ERCP pancreatitis incidence

    frequency of post-ERCP pancreatitis

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rate of difficult cannulation

    difficult cannulation was defined as when total cannulation time was more than 5minutes, total cannulation attempts more than 5 times or inadvertent pancreatic duct cannulation more than 1 time.

    Measured: 3 hours

  2. Cannulation attempts

    the sphincterotome touching the papilla for at least 5 seconds will be considered as one attempt.

    Measured: 3 hours

  3. Total cannulation time

    the time from the moment the sphincterotome touch the papilla to the guide wire advance into the target duct.

    Measured: 3 hours

  4. Unintended pancreatic duct cannulation

    the guide wire unintentionally entered into the undesired pancreatic duct

    Measured: 3 hours

  5. Complication rate

    frequency of any adverse outcome that required hospital admission or prolonged hospital stay necessary for management of the complication, including pancreatitis, bleeding, biliary infection or perforation.

    Measured: 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreaticobiilary Diseases and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 4 sites 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 9 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 26 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

post-ERCP pancreatitis incidence (time frame: 48 hours). 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 NCT03550768, 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 26 Dec 2019.
