About this study
Official title: Prophylactic Endoscopic Ultrasound Gallbladder Drainage (EUS-GBD) in Patients With Unresectable Malignant Biliary Obstruction and Cystic Duct Orifice Involvement.
to determine if primary prophylaxis with Endoscopic Ultrasound-Gallbladder Drainage (EUS-GBD) in unresectable cancer patients with the orifice of the cystic duct (OCD) involvement is superior to conservative management (Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage).
Read the detailed description
Endoscopic biliary drainage with a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) is an accepted form of palliative therapy for distal malignant biliary obstruction (MBO); it is a low invasive procedure with a long-term patency.
Covered SEMSs have a longer patency than uncovered SEMSs in patients with MBO, because covered SEMSs can prevent tumor ingrowth. However, complications of covered SEMSs include stent occlusion, migration, kinking, non-occlusion cholangitis, liver abscess, pancreatitis and cholecystitis.
Nonsurgical decompression of the gallbladder is urgently needs to prevent sepsis, perforation and death in patients with acute cholecystitis. Several risk factors of cholecystitis after SEMS placement for distal MBO have been reported: however, tumor involvement to the orifice of the cystic duct (OCD) is the major predictive factor for cholecystitis after endoscopic SEMSs placement for distal MBO palliative treatment .
Acute cholecystitis related to SEMSs deployment was evaluated in 2009, by using endoscopic trans-papillary gallbladder drainage (TPGBD) in 11 individuals in whom SEMSs covered the OCD. None episode of cholecystitis was reported, however TPGBD is a difficult technique with a high rate of stent dislodgement and reintervention needed.
EUS-GBD by using a lumen apposing metal stent have been proposed, but only for acute cholecystitis treatment or symptomatic gallbladder hydrops, never as a prophylactic technique.
The aim of this study if to determine if primary prophylaxis EUS-GBD in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction and the OCD involvement is superior than conservative management. Also, a cost-effectiveness analysis will be done in both arm groups.
This would be the first trial to study the effect of prophylactic EUS-GBD prior SEMSs deployment in patients with distal malignant biliary obstruction.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
EUS-guided gallbladder drainageProcedure or surgery
During ERCP evaluation a self-expandable metallic stent will be deployed in the common biliary duct of the patients enrolled in both arms of the present study. A prophylaxis gallbladder drainage will be done using a 3.8 mm working-channel linear-array therapeutic echoendoscope (EG3870UTK;Pentax, Hamburg, Germany) attached to an ultrasound console (Avius Hitachi, Tokyo, Japan) within a transgastric and/or transduodenal approaches to the gallbladder puncture followed by placement of a lumen apposing stent (LAMS) (AXIOS; Xlumena Inc, CA, USA) with a 10 mm luminal diameter and a dumbbell-shaped flanges to bring together the 2 walls in apposition. These feature of the Axios decrease the risk for bile leak, stent migration, and stent occlusion.
Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainageProcedure or surgery
During ERCP evaluation a self-expandable metallic stent will be deployed in the common biliary duct of the patients enrolled in both arms of the present study. If the patient had an acute cholecystitis will be sent to surgery and be considered as a Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| EUS-guided gallbladder drainage | Other | In one arm, Endoscopic Ultrasound-Gallbladder Drainage (EUS-GBD) will be performed by using a 3,8 mm therapeutic echoendoscope and a lumen apposing metal stent ( Hot AXIOS™ Stent and Electrocautery Enhanced Delivered System; Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, MA, USA) after conventional biliary drainage with self-expandable metallic stents during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
All procedures will be performed under general anesthesia. Receives: Procedure: EUS-guided gallbladder drainage; Procedure: Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage |
| Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage | Other | In the other arm, patients will undergo conventional biliary drainage with self-expandable metallic stent placement during ERCP evaluation without prophylactic EUS-GBD and will be considered as a Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage.
All procedures will be performed under general anesthesia. Receives: Procedure: Non EUS-guided gallbladder drainage |

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?
Ocurrence of acute cholecystitis (time frame: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months). 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 NCT03729882, which also lists 9 linked publications.
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 Jul 2020.
