About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Study on the Diagnostic Value of "eyeMax Insight" Cholangioscopy for Unexplained Bile Duct Stenosis

When clinical doctors cannot diagnose the cause of biliary stricture after comprehensive laboratory and imaging examinations, it is collectively referred to as unexplained bile duct stenosis. This study intends to analyze the diagnostic value of the biliary endoscopy system for unknown cause biliary strictures , and compare the diagnostic efficacy of biopsy under biliary endoscopy guidance with brushing cytology under ERCP.

Read the detailed description

When clinical doctors cannot diagnose the cause of biliary stricture after comprehensive laboratory and imaging examinations, it is collectively referred to as unexplained bile duct stenosis. This study intends to analyze the diagnostic value of the biliary endoscopy system for unknown cause biliary strictures , and compare the diagnostic efficacy of biopsy under biliary endoscopy guidance with brushing cytology under ERCP.

The etiology of biliary strictures is complex, including not only malignant tumors , but also factors such as stones, inflammatory strictures, congenital variations and so on. Currently, the main methods for diagnosing malignant biliary obstruction in clinical practice include clinical examinations, biochemical testing (such as serum CA19-9), imaging, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). However, these methods have limitations, such as the limited specificity and sensitivity of CA19-9 and the indirect imaging of ERCP after contrast agent filling. Therefore, these methods are relatively difficult to distinguish the benign and malignant nature of biliary lesions. This study intends to analyze the diagnostic value of the biliary endoscopy system for these unexplained bile duct stenosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. positive rate of visual diagnosis of cholangioscopy for unexplained bile duct stenosis

    The results are compared with pathological results of surgical specimens

    Measured: 1 years

  2. positive rate of cholangioscopy-guided forceps biopsy

    The results are compared with pathological results of surgical specimens

    Measured: 1 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. adverse event rate of each individual technique

    record any adverse events related to the procedure

    Measured: 1 years

  2. the positive rate of biopsy

    cholangioscopy-guided forceps biopsy, ERCP-guided brush biopsy

    Measured: 1 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bile Duct Stenosis, run by Changhai Hospital.

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 2 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 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Zhendong Jin, Doctor (13901618837, Zhendjin@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

positive rate of visual diagnosis of cholangioscopy for unexplained bile duct stenosis (time frame: 1 years). 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?
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 Jun 2023.
