What participants receive

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

  • aScope™ Duodeno endoscope and aBox™ DuodenoDevice

    The aScope™ Duodeno endoscope is a sterile single-use disposable duodenoscope indicated for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedures.The aScope™ Duodeno endoscope is designed to be used with aBox Duodeno, endoscopic accessories and other ancillary equipment for ERCP procedures.

    The aBox Duodeno is the console that is necessary for processing the endoscope camera´s video image, regarding the remote switches and output video and recorder data. The aBox Duodeno is designed to be used with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the ERCP procedural success rates with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope when completing the ERCP procedure for the intended indication(s).

    Procedure success will be defined as the successful completion of the ERCP procedure with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope. The procedural success rate will be the incidence rate of success for the ERCP procedure.

    Measured: Procedure Completion (Day 0)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. To establish comprehensive performance attributes of aScope™ Duodeno endoscope through its use by multiple endoscopists in conducting various ERCP procedures.

    Procedure success for sub categories of ERCP procedures will be defined as the successful completion of the ERCP procedure with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope. The procedural success rate will be the incidence rate of success for the stratified sub-categories of ERCP procedures with the the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope.

    Measured: Procedure Completion (Day 0)

  2. To evaluate rate of conversion to a reusable endoscope, other endoscope or an open procedure from the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope during the ERCP procedure.

    Rate of conversion will be measured by the incidence rate of when a conversion to a different endoscope or open procedure is necessitated during the ERCP procedure with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope.

    Measured: Procedure Completion (Day 0)

  3. To evaluate rate of successful completion of a converted ERCP procedure.

    Successful completion will be measured by the incidence rate of success for converted ERCP procedure as stratified by the conversion method (reusable scope, other endoscope, other procedure).

    Measured: Procedure Completion (Day 0)

  4. To evaluate the device deficiency rate for the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope.

    Incidence rate of device deficiencies as defined as either a device failure or device malfunction for the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope during ERCP procedure.

    Measured: Procedure Completion (Day 0)

  5. To evaluate physician satisfaction with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope.

    Physician reported outcomes questionnaire on physician satisfaction with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope for ERCP procedures.

    Measured: Procedure Completion (Day 0)

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. 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?

To evaluate the ERCP procedural success rates with the aScope™ Duodeno endoscope when completing the ERCP procedure for the intended indication(s). (time frame: Procedure Completion (Day 0)). 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 NCT04628949, which also lists 12 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 1 Aug 2022.
