About this study

Official title: Comparison of Dual-lumen Catheter-guided Mini-forceps Biopsy and Brush Cytology with Vacuum Aspiration in Suspicious Biliary Strictures: a Multicenter, Randomized, Crossover Trial

In this randomized crossover trial involving patients with indeterminate biliary strictures, we aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of the dual-lumen catheter-guided miniforceps biopsy (CMB) device with that of brush cytology under aspiration (BCA).

Being tested
Dual-lumen catheter-guided mini-forceps biopsy is performed first, Biliary brush cytology with vacuum aspiration is performed first

What participants receive

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

  • Dual-lumen catheter-guided mini-forceps biopsy is performed firstProcedure or surgery

    In ERCP procedures, catheter-guided mini-forceps biopsy is performed before biliary brush cytology.

  • Biliary brush cytology with vacuum aspiration is performed firstProcedure or surgery

    In ERCP procedures, biliary brush cytology with vacuum aspiration is performed before dilation catheter-guided mini-forceps biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. The diagnostic accuracy

    The accuracy of dual-lumen catheter-guided miniforceps biopsy (CMB) and brush cytology with vacuum aspiration (BCA) in the diagnosis of biliary strictures.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. the diagnostic sensitivity

    The diagnostic sensitivity of dual-lumen catheter-guided mini-forceps biopsy and brush cytology with vacuum aspiration to the suspicious biliary strictures.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. The diagnostic specificity

    The diagnostic specificity of dual-lumen catheter-guided mini-forceps biopsy and brush cytology with vacuum aspiration to the suspicious biliary strictures.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Severe adverse events rates

    The incidence of adverse events, namely, post-ERCP pancreatitis, gastrointestinal perforation, and bleeding were compared.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dual-lumen catheter-guided mini-forceps biopsy is performed first and Biliary brush cytology with vacuum aspiration is performed first in people with Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and Miniforceps Biopsy, run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine 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 5 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 Sep 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 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?

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?

The diagnostic accuracy (time frame: 6 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 Sep 2024.
