About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study: Magnetic Compression Anastomosis for Recanalization of Biliary Stricture

Biliary stricture is a common complication after end-to-end biliary anastomosis, especially after liver transplantation. This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of magnetic recanalization technique, a newly clinical method, for treating biliary anastomotic stricture.

Read the detailed description

Biliary anastomotic stricture is a common complication of after end-to-end biliary anastomosis. Magnetic recanalization is a promising way to establish connection of biliary tract after stenosis or completed obstruction. This study is designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of magnetic recanalization among patients with severe biliary stricture after biliary anastmosis. Patients who failed to undergo stent placement with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography (ERCP) would be enrolled for magnetic recanalization treatment. Magnetic treatment will be implemented by several steps. Firstly, placement of one magnet through the sinus of percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD) in upper part of the bile duct; Second, introduction of another magnet via ERCP into the distal part of the bile duct, and making them be mated together; Third, after necrosis of the tissue between the two magnets, the magnets will drop off and be taken out together through the thread connected with them out of the mouth. Last, a plastic stent should be placed in the bile duct for a lasting support. The time of recanalization (drop off of the magnets), and adverse events (e.g. fever, melena, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, hematemesis, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal bleeding) will be recorded, and each patient will be followed up for long-term outcomes.

What participants receive

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

  • Magnetic recanalizationProcedure or surgery

    1. Establish a percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD) fistula.
    2. Perform endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST).
    3. Place one magnet above the stricture through the PTCD fistula.
    4. Introduce another magnet below the stricture through the common bile duct with ERCP.
    5. Place the magnets at the appropriate point to attract each other.
    6. The patient will be strictly followed, and the magnets will be taken out out of the mouth by the thread connected with the magnets.
    7. A plastic stent will be placed in the bile duct for lasting support.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time duration of biliary recanalization, d (days)

    Time period for recanalization of the bile duct

    Measured: From date of treatment (two magnets mated together) until the date of drop-off or the two magnets from the biliary tract or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of stricture recurrence

    Incidence of biliary stricture recurrence after magnetic recanalization treatment

    Measured: From date of drop-off of the two magnets until the date of biliary stricture recurrence or end of the follow-up or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Magnetic recanalization in people with Biliary Anastomotic Stricture and Biliary Tract Diseases, run by First Affiliated Hospital Xi'an Jiaotong University at 1 site in China.

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 2 inclusion and 8 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 17 May 2022. 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 China. 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 Yi Lv, MD,phD (86-29-85323900, luyi169@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time duration of biliary recanalization, d (days) (time frame: From date of treatment (two magnets mated together) until the date of drop-off or the two magnets from the biliary tract 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?
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 17 May 2022.
