What participants receive

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

  • Potal vein embilizationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Surgical resection

    Portal vein of involved bile duct is embolized to increase the volume of remnant liver.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Measured: The time from diagnosis until the date of death or last date of follow-up or end of study up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Recurrence free survival

    Recurrence free survival of patients who underwent surgical resection

    Measured: The time from surgical resection until the date of recurrence or death or last date of follow-up or end of study up to 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Biliary Tract Cancer and Portal Vein Embolization, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2024. 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 South Korea. 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?

Overall survival (time frame: The time from diagnosis until the date of death or last date of follow-up or end of study up to 24 months). 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 25 Jan 2024.
