Preoperative Biliary Drainage With Metal Versus Plastic Stents in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Currently, routine preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) was not recommended. However, PBD is still necessary in case of patients with cholangitis or very high level of bilirubin or patients who are expected to receive delayed surgery.

The aim of this clinical trial is to demonstrate non-inferiority of uncovered self-expandable metal stent to plastic stent for PBD by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with periampullary cancer undergoing curative intent pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Clinical Trial Description

Jaundice is one of the most common symptoms in patients with periampullary cancers including pancreatic cancer, common bile duct (CBD) cancer, ampulla of Vater (AoV) cancer, and duodenal cancer. Traditionally, preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) was routinely performed in these cancers because it might favorably influence sepsis, endotoxemia, and intravascular coagulation. However, a recent randomized control study reported that routine PBD in patients undergoing surgery for cancer of the pancreatic head increases the rate of complications. Therefore, routine PBD was not recommended. However, PBD is still necessary in case of patients with cholangitis or very high level of bilirubin or patients who are expected to receive delayed surgery.

In these patients with necessity of PBD, a plastic stent (PS) has been used because it is good for temporary use with cheap prices. However, it is sometimes occluded before surgery or not enough for rapid decompressing jaundice mainly because of its short diameter. In this aspect, a self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) has strength compared to PS because it has a longer diameter which enables rapid decompression with a fewer events of occlusion. However, SEMS is much more expensive than PS and the exact length of stent is more critical.

Although there are still lack of evidence which compares the results between PS and SEMS, National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines recently recommended the use of a short SEMS for pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients with cholangitis or fever. However, we needed more concrete evidence about this principle. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
