Official title
Supra-papillary Versus Trans-papillary Biliary Stenting in Malignant Peri-hilar Stenosis (SupraBilS): a Randomized Controlled Trial
Overview
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing patients with obstructive jaundice due to malignancies of the perihilar area of bile ducts and undergoing both preoperative and palliative biliary drainage. The comparison will focus on the technique:, on the one hand, an arm of patients undergoing standard-of-care ERCP with trans-papillary plastic protesis placement, and on the other hand, an experimental arm of patients undergoing suprapapillary plastic protesis placement with no sphincterotomy. The primary objective will be to compare the time-to-stent dysfunction in the two groups; secondary objectives will include a comparison of the safety, technical, and clinical success of the procedures.
Interventions
- Procedure ERCP with suprapapillary stent placement
ERCP with no sphincterotomy and placement of plastic stents above the papilla of Vater. - Procedure ERCP with transpapillary stent placement
Standard ERCP with or without sphincterotomy with trans papillary stent placement
Primary outcome measures
- Time-to-Stent disfunction [Time frame: From index procedure to a minimum of one year of follow up.]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Safety of the procedure [Time frame: From the index procedure within 14 days.]
- Technical success [Time frame: At the moment of index procedure.]
- Clinical Success [Time frame: Between 14 and 30 days from the index procedure.]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
