About this study

Official title: Comparison of SpyGlass Guided RFA On The Same Stage Versus RFA After Cytobrush for Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

With the development of endoscopic technology, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma.In patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, cytological brushing performed concurrently with ERCP had a lower pathologically positive rate and increased the times of ERCPs, increased the risk of postoperative complications at the same time.The present study aims to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of Spyglass+RFA Versus Cytobrush+RFA for Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Read the detailed description

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been used as the primary method for the diagnosis of biliary strictures and the treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. However, the accurate visual diagnosis of malignant biliary strictures and assessment of the extent of a lesion are not possible by ERCP, and treatment of extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma by ERCP procedures is sometimes difficult. In patients with extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, cytological brushing performed concurrently with ERCP had a lower pathologically positive rate and increased the times of ERCPs, increased the risk of postoperative complications at the same time. Spyglass enables direct visualization of the biliary tract and the sampling of suspicious lesions, together with radiofrequency ablation.Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an emerging technique for the palliation of inoperable malignant biliary strictures (MBSs). In a dozen published studies, this novel approach has shown better safety and feasibility, as well as improvement in overall survival (OS). The present study aims to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes of Spyglass+RFA Versus Cytobrush+RFA for Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Spyglass + RFA and Cytobrush + RFA in people with Extrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma and Malignant Biliary Obstruction, run by First People's Hospital of Hangzhou 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 15 Aug 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 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?

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?

Pathological positive rate (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05233293, 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 15 Aug 2023.
