About this study

Official title: Treatment of Common Bile Duct Stones in a Laparoscopic Center : What Are the Limits and When Should we Call the Endoscopist ? Observationnal Study Between 2007-2019

The aim of this study was to identify some risk factors of failure of surgical management of common bile duct stones, in our center between 2007 and 2019.

Read the detailed description

Lithiasis disease represents a real public health problem. Indeed, 10% of the general population is asymptomatic carrier of gallbladder stones and among them, 35% will present a symptomatic form which will cause the indication of cholecystectomy. As a result, around 120,000 cholecystectomies are performed per year in France, and around 750,000 in the United States for this indication. Cholecystectomy is therefore the most widely performed procedure in the world. However, in 3 to 20% of cases, common bile duct stones will be associated and to be treated. Different strategies are proposed: a treatment called "all surgical" or an endoscopic treatment (usually a sphincterotomy) before, after or during a cholecystectomy. The investigators defined two groups of patients: one group with success of fully laparoscopic surgical treatment (cholecystectomy and laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct at the same time), and one group treated by laparoscopic cholecystectomy and management of the common bile duct stone(s) by an ERCP performed intra, per ou postoperatively. The primary outcome was the failure of surgical management, defined as the requirement of ERCP for extraction of common bile duct stones, which permit us to identify risk factors of failure in the fullfil surgical treatment process. The secondary outcome was to study the morbimortality in each group, and length of stay.

What participants receive

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

  • Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.Procedure or surgery

    Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) with sphincterotomy : : removal of common bile duct stones trought the cystic duct (transcystically) with a Dormia or a choledoscope, or throught the common bile duct with a choledoscope introduced throught an incision of the common bile duct.

    ERCP with sphincterotomy: removal of common bile duct stones throught the duodenal papilla, and a sphincterotomy of the oddi sphincter during the same time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Laparoscopic and Common Bile Duct Stone With Chronic Cholecystitis, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 6 inclusion and 11 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 3 Sep 2020. 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?

morbimortality (time frame: 1 day). 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 NCT04467710, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Sep 2020.
