Trial summary

Obstructive jaundice may be of malignant and benign etiologies. Carcinoma of the gall bladder, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, metastasis, and lymph nodal compression of common bile duct (CBD) constitute the majority of malignant causes. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Role of Ultrasonography as a Single Tool for Guidance of Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage in Obstructive Jaundice

Obstructive jaundice may be of malignant and benign etiologies. Carcinoma of the gall bladder, cholangiocarcinoma, pancreatic adenocarcinoma, metastasis, and lymph nodal compression of common bile duct (CBD) constitute the majority of malignant causes.

Most of the patients with malignant obstructive jaundice are already advanced and inoperable by the time they are diagnosed, hence carry bad prognosis with palliation being the only option left. Obstruction needs to be drained even in such cases for reducing pain, cholangitis, anorexia and pruritus as well as to reduce the serum bilirubin levels in certain cases to initiate chemo or intrabiliary brachytherapy.

Over the years, palliation has evolved with the introduction of newer methods and improvisation of existing techniques. Recent palliative measures prolong longevity and improve the quality of life, hence increasing the acceptance to such procedures; Methods of biliary drainage include: a. Surgical bypass b. Minimally invasive procedures; Endoscopic retrograde (ERCP) (cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).

ERCP as well as PTBD are well-established and effective means for biliary drainage as palliative treatment in unresectable cases.

With the current modern technique in experienced hands, Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage (PTBD) equals endoscopic retrograde cholangio pancreatography (ERCP) regarding technical success and complications. In addition, there is a reduction in immediate procedure-related mortality with proven survival benefit. Moreover, it is the only immediate lifesaving procedure in cholangitis and sepsis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing nephrostomy set in people with Obstructive Jaundice, run by Sohag University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 18 Feb 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 Egypt. 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 Mostafa A Ahmed, resident (01127688037, mostafa011186@med.sohag.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correction of hyperbilirubinemia. (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT05246176, which also lists 3 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 18 Feb 2022.
