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 Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients referred for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for further evaluation of abnormal imaging findings will be screened for inclusion in this study. Patients with biliary dilatation who meet all the inclusion criteria and have none of the exclusion criteria will be invited to participate in this prospective study during their initial clinic visit or hospital consultation.

Who may be able to join

  • Referral/consultation for consideration for EUS ± ERCP
  • Age 18 and older
  • Evidence of biliary dilation on abdominal imaging without obstructive pattern on liver function tests or imaging.
  • Willing and able to comply with the study procedures and provide written informed consent to participate in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Age <18
  • Potentially vulnerable subjects including, homeless people, pregnant females, employees and students.
  • Participation in another investigational study that may directly or indirectly affect the results of this study within 30 days prior to the initial visit
  • Other biliary process which accounts for patient's abnormal liver function studies/imaging (i.e. mass, stone, cirrhosis).

About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Opiate Use Status in Patients Referred for Endoscopic Evaluation of Bile Duct Dilation

We hope to better define the association between opiate use and biliary dilation, which was evident in our previous retrospective study. This prospective study including all endoscopic ultrasound procedures performed for further evaluation of biliary dilatation in the setting of bilirubin <2 mg/dL will enable accurate measurement of common bile duct and pancreatic duct diameter using endoscopic ultrasound and identification of other non- obstructive factors which may modulate biliary dilation (i.e. age, cholecystectomy status, duration and type of opiate used).

Read the detailed description

We hope to better define the association between opiate use and biliary dilation, which was evident in our previous retrospective study. This prospective study including all endoscopic ultrasound procedures performed for further evaluation of biliary dilatation in the setting of bilirubin <2 mg/dL will enable accurate measurement of common bile duct and pancreatic duct diameter using endoscopic ultrasound and identification of other non- obstructive factors which may modulate biliary dilation (i.e. age, cholecystectomy status, duration and type of opiate used).

We believe this work will be of great interest to gastroenterologists, as it provides additional data for interpretation of isolated common bile duct dilation in asymptomatic patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of factors associated with biliary dilation

    Statistical analysis will be conducted to assess for association between opiate use (including type and duration of opiates) and common bile duct diameter. We will also evaluate for other factors predictive of increased common bile duct diameter, which may include age and cholecystectomy status (based on our initial retrospective study). Power calculations to determine sample size were extrapolated from the initial retrospective study at our institution.

    Measured: Up to 3 hours

  2. Identification of factors associated with pancreatic duct dilation

    Statistical analysis will be conducted to assess for association between opiate use (including type and duration of opiates) and common bile duct diameter. We will also evaluate for other factors predictive of increased common bile duct diameter, which may include age and cholecystectomy status (based on our initial retrospective study). Power calculations to determine sample size were extrapolated from the initial retrospective study at our institution.

    Measured: Up to 3 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Evaluation of Association Between Opiate Use and Biliary Dilation, run by Stanford University at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Mar 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Identification of factors associated with biliary dilation (time frame: Up to 3 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Mar 2019.
