Trial summary

Obesity is a major health problem in western countries, and sleeve gastrectomy has proven its effectiveness on weight loss and improvement of comorbidities related to obesity. The main complication is the occurrence of upper fistula (2%), and may be responsible of several deaths. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Endoscopic Management of Fistulas Related to Sleeve Gastrectomy With Double Pigtail Stents According to the BARTOLI Technique : an Interventional Multicentric and Prospective Study.

Obesity is a major health problem in western countries, and sleeve gastrectomy has proven its effectiveness on weight loss and improvement of comorbidities related to obesity. The main complication is the occurrence of upper fistula (2%), and may be responsible of several deaths.

There is no consensus on medical, radiological and surgical management of fistula. It depends on the resources of each center and is based on a low level evidence The inconstant efficacy of the endoscopic treatment by closing fistula (digestive stents, clips, glue) motivates a new endoscopic approach. It consists of an internal drainage of the collection by using double pigtail stents through the fistulous orifice.

Read the detailed description

Partially or fully covered stents are the most used method, but are not supported by any comparative studies. Their results are inconstant and the closure rate is estimated between 15 and 100%, with a hazardous median healing time. This method is associated with frequent complications, such as spontaneous migrations, impactions or ulcerations responsible for potentially fatal hematemesis. The preliminary results of using OTSC clips (OVESCO®) seem encouraging, but this technique requires external drainage to obtain a collection free from infection. A new approach is to perform an internal drainage of the peri-orificial collection by using double pigtail stents through the fistulous orifice and to direct the fistula closure from the outside to the inside. This endoscopic treatment, combined with nutritional support and initial antibiotic therapy, allows rapid weaning of external drainage and short healing times. CT and endoscopic evaluation are needed at the sixth week for stents removal in the event of a favorable evolution. In the opposite case, a second endoscopic treatment is performed. In case of unfavorable evolution, a radical surgical treatment, in the absence of endoscopic alternative, will be achieved.

What participants receive

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

  • endoscopyProcedure or surgery

    In the case of a well-organized abscessed collection responsible for sepsis instability, or poorly organized collection, an external drainage is carried out, by a radiological or a surgical way. The endoscopy is performed 7 days later. If there is no hemodynamic instability and in presence of a well-organized abscessed collection, a first-line endoscopy is carried out. After laying 2 double pig tail stents, the external drainage is removed 2 to 7 days later.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing endoscopy in people with Gastrostomy and Fistula, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 6 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 18 Jan 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 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?

Number of Participants with Fistula Healing at week 18 (time frame: week 18 after endoscopy). 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 18 Jan 2023.
