Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of different methods of preoperative biliary drainage in patients with extrahepatic bile duct neoplasms with obstructive jaundice (hilar cholangiocarcinoma, distal bile duct cancer, and periampullary carcinoma), including PTBD (Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage), ENBD (Endoscopic Nasobiliary Drainage) and EBS (Endoscopic Biliary Stenting).

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients who meet the following four criteria are included into the study:

    1. Preoperative clinical diagnosis of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, distal bile duct cancer, periampullary cancer without distant or peripheral vascular invasion, and plan for radical surgery;
    2. Serum total is higher than 51 umol/l;
    3. Age is older than 18 and younger than 80 years old;
    4. Sign in to receive preoperative PTBD, ENBD, EBS or without PBD.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • If any of the following items are met, the subject cannot enter the study.

    1. Incorporate severe mental illness, severe heart, lungs and kidneys disease, etc., and be unable to tolerate surgery;
    2. Malignant obstructive jaundice caused by tumors;
    3. Pregnancy or lactation women.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
