About this study
Official title: EUS-guided Biliary Drainage of First Intent With the Lumen Apposing Metal Stent vs. ERCP in the Management of Malignant Distal Biliary Obstruction: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Endoscopic ultrasound guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is an evolving field that has grown in popularity in the management of malignant biliary obstruction. Although Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) with stent insertion has been the mainstay therapy throughout several decades, the transpapillary approach through tumor tissue is associated with significant risk for adverse events such as post-ERCP pancreatitis and stent dysfunction from tumor tissue overgrowth and ingrowth. EUS-BD, through the creation of a choledochoduodenostomy with a stent, has the potential advantage of avoiding the papilla and its associated complications while potentially improving stent patency with lower risks for tumor tissue ingrowth and/or overgrowth.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
EUS-BD with LAMSProcedure or surgery
Endoscopic ultrasound guided insertion of lumen apposing metal stent forming a choledochoduodenostomy
ERCPProcedure or surgery
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to localize and cannulate the bile duct using the guidewire-assisted technique.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| EUS-BD with LAMS | Experimental | A curvilinear endoscope is inserted orally and advanced to the duodenal bulb. Biliary accessibility is confirmed via EUS and with Doppler to rule out any intervening vessels. For common bile ducts < 15 mm in diameter, the biliary access is established via needle puncture with a 19-gauge needle followed by advancement of a 0.035 or 0.025 inch guidewire. A LAMS (AxiosTM) will then be inserted with cautery assistance without tract dilation and deployed. For common bile ducts > 15 mm, the need for initial needle puncture and wire insertion is at the discretion of the endoscopist. A cholangiogram is then performed through the LAMS with contrast injection. The choice of stent size will be at the discretion of the endoscopist (8 x 8 mm or 6 x 8 mm). Receives: Procedure: EUS-BD with LAMS |
| Traditional transpapillary metal stent via ERCP | Active comparator | A duodenoscope is advanced orally to the papilla. The bile duct is then cannulated with a sphincterotome using the guidewire-assisted technique. A cholangiogram is then performed followed by insertion of a self-expanding metal biliary stent. The performance of a biliary sphincterotomy prior to stent insertion and the choice of stent size (10x 40 mm, 10 x 60 mm, 10x 80 mm) will be at the discretion of the endoscopist. Receives: Procedure: ERCP |

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Endoscopic ultrasound guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is an evolving field that has grown in popularity in the management of malignant biliary obstruction. Although Endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) with stent insertion has been the mainstay therapy throughout several decades, the transpapillary approach through tumor tissue is associated with significant risk for adverse events such as post-ERCP pancreatitis and stent dysfunction from tumor tissue overgrowth and ingrowth. EUS-BD, through the creation of a choledochoduodenostomy with a stent, has the potential advantage of avoiding the papilla and its associated complications while potentially improving stent patency with lower risks for tumor tissue ingrowth and/or overgrowth.

Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 sites in Canada, France. 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?
Rate of re-intervention (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT03870386, which also lists 28 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 14 Aug 2023.
