RCT Steel (Wallstent®) vs Nitinol (Wallflex®) Bile Duct Stent for

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Less than 20% of patients with malignant distal bile duct (BD) obstruction (often pancreatic cancer) are suitable for resection surgery.In the rest,palliation treatment comes into focus. Jaundice caused by BD obstruction gives pain, infection (cholangitis), often itching and increased weight loss, and the patient is stigmatized by the deep yellow colour of the skin.Therefore palliation with endoscopic stenting by ERCP-technique is important. Modern self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are now widely used in this context. Comparison in a RCT between steel and nitinol SEMS has never been performed.

The steel stent (Wallstent®) is the "original",is widely used, and has more expanding power. Nitinol stents are softer and claimed to be easier to insert,and are more and more popular.A newly developed nitinol stent (Wallflex®)may have these advantages, but is some 120 Euros more expensive.

Regarding the most important outcome measure, time to stent failure (obstruction), no one knows if there is any difference.Our hypothesis is that there is no difference in this main outcome endpoint.

Clinical Trial Description

Secondary outcome measures (compare above) are complications caused by the stent or stent insertion and technical ease to insert the stent. To discover a 12% difference between the 2 groups, regarding patency, 400 patients must be included in the trial, alfa 0.05, beta 0.8. Investigators know from previous trials (Single center trial South Hospital GIE 2006;63:986-995 and a newly finished similar swedish multicenter trial,prel data DDW- 09)that the 9 hospitals recruited will be able to include this no of patients in approximately 2.5 years.

Investigators will have a shortest follow-up period of 10 months, followup will be by phone with standard questions connected to stent failure, which is defined clinically AND by a new ERCP with intervention because of an obstructed stent. ;

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.
