About this study

Official title: Flexible Percutaneous Transhepatic Cholangiopancreatoscopy (PTCS) in Complex Pancreaticobiliary Disease

To document the clinical utility of percutaneous cholangiopancreatoscopy using a thin, disposable, flexible endoscope for evaluation and treatment of complex pancreaticobiliary disease in a prospective, multi-center case series

Read the detailed description

This case series aims to illustrate the clinical utility of percutaneous transhepatic cholangiopancreatoscopy using a thin, disposable, flexible endoscope performed by gastroenterological endoscopists and/or interventional radiologists in procedures including but not limited to:

  • PTCS for tissue diagnosis in cases of surgically or pathologically-altered anatomy,
  • PTCS for stone removal after surgically or pathologically-altered anatomy,
  • Percutaneous rendezvous to aid ERCP after failed endoscopic cannulation,
  • Percutaneous delivery of palliative intraluminal brachytherapy,
  • Intra-procedural percutaneous salvage procedures when an initial route of access fails
Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • SpyGlass™ Discover Digital SystemDevice

    Observational, prospective, registry study for the clinical utility of the SpyGlass Discover digital catheter during a PTCS procedure.

Study groups in NCT04580940
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Subjects with complex pancreaticobiliary diseaseAll subjects will undergo the percutaneous transhepatic cholangiopancreatoscopy with the SpyGlass Discover System.
Receives: Device: SpyGlass™ Discover Digital System

What is being measured

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

  1. Achieving clinical intent of procedure as indicated

    Physicians will report achieving clinical success by recording the completed procedures compared to procedures planned by 30 days (+/- 3 days) after index PTCS.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Adverse Events

    Serious adverse events related to the study device, accessory devices used through the working channel of the SpyGlass™ Discover Digital Catheter or the cholangiopancreatoscopy portion of the PTCS procedure(s).

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Technical success

    Rate at which SpyGlass™ Discover digital catheter can be advanced to the target lesion or stone(s) and visualize the target

    Measured: During index procedure

  3. Procedural Time

    Time elapsed between first insertion to last removal of the SpyGlass™ Discover digital catheter

    Measured: During index procedure

  4. Number of PTCS procedures

    Number of PTCS procedures required to achieve clinical success until the end of follow-up

    Measured: 1 month

  5. Endoscopist rating

    Endoscopist rating of the following attributes when using SpyGlass™ Discover Digital Catheter compared to marketed reusable scopes Ability to complete the procedure Ability to retroflex Ability to selectively advance into targeted ducts Ability to obtain targeted biopsies Ability to grasp stones Ability to guide lithotripsy Ability to suction Ability to irrigate Ability to advance accessories through scope channel Image quality

    Measured: During index procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatic Diseases and Bile Duct Obstruction, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 7 sites in 7 countries.

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 4 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 29 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong and 2 more countries. 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?

Achieving clinical intent of procedure as indicated (time frame: 1 month). 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 NCT04580940, which also lists 2 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 29 Nov 2023.
