Trial summary

Around 10-18% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstones have common bile duct (CBD) stones. Currently, various procedures for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis are available including open cholecystectomy plus open common bile duct exploration (OC+OCBDE), laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: ERCP Plus Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Versus Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration and Cholecystectomy for Cholecystocholedocholithiasis - The Same Operator: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Around 10-18% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstones have common bile duct (CBD) stones. Currently, various procedures for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis are available including open cholecystectomy plus open common bile duct exploration (OC+OCBDE), laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LC+LCBDE), may be trans-cystic or trans-choledochal, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LC+ERCP), which may be performed pre, at, or after LC.

Around 10-18% of patients undergoing cholecystectomy for gallstones have common bile duct (CBD) stones. Currently, various procedures for the treatment of cholecystocholedocholithiasis are available including open cholecystectomy plus open common bile duct exploration (OC+OCBDE), laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LC+LCBDE), may be trans-cystic or trans-choledochal, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (LC+ERCP), which may be performed pre, at, or after LC.

Single-session treatment of gallbladder and CBD stones is safe, efficient, shortens hospital stay, and is less expensive than staged procedures.

Although there is some evidence suggesting that LCBDE may be associated with a lower rate of retained stones compared with ERCP, previous studies comparing LCBDE with ERCP and stone extraction have collectively failed to demonstrate the superiority of one approach over the other.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography plus laparoscopic cholecystectomy and aparoscopic common bile duct exploration and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in people with Common Bile Duct Calculi, run by South Valley 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 3 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 13 Jun 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 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?

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?

success rate (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 13 Jun 2023.
