About this study

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure used for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the biliary tract, pancreas and papilla of Vater. The ERCP allows an indirect vision of the ductal and pancreatic system by means of the endoductal injection of contrast medium and the evaluation of these by X-rays. Recently, cholangioscopy has been developed using the Spy Glass system, introduced on the market in 2007. This allows a direct visualization of the bile duct and pancreatic pathway through the introduction of an optical probe inside the ductal system. SpyGlass was developed to overcome the limitations of traditional cholangioscopy and allow optically guided therapies for the treatment of stenoses and calculations. This is the first cholangioscopy system performed by a single disposable operator (SOC), with two dedicated irrigation channels, an optical channel and a therapeutic channel with a diameter of 1.2 mm. Everything is placed inside a 10 Fr Spy Scope ™ access and delivery catheter (3.3 mm), which allows the tip to flex in 4 directions to facilitate maneuverability and directionality in small ducts.

The irrigation channels of the SOC system allow a fluid flow rate of four to five times higher than that which can be obtained through the operating channel of conventional systems. In bench simulations with loaded Spy Bite ™ biopsy forceps, the SOC system presented a success rate in obtaining access to sites of double interest compared to that of a conventional 2-way limited bending choledocoscope.

Some studies have confirmed the adequacy of the Spy Glass system in providing adequate samples for histological diagnosis and successfully facilitating the treatment of stones.

The new single-use Spy Glass digital display system was introduced in 2014 and no multi-center experience on the use of this device is described to date.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Biliary Condition, run by Istituto Clinico Humanitas at 1 site in Italy.

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 0 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 21 Mar 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Contact Andrea Anderloni, MD (0039-02-82247308, andrea.anderloni@humanitas..it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Data collection of characteristics of ERCP with Spyglass (time frame: 12 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 21 Mar 2023.
