Study summary

This trial is a prospective study, the main purpose of the study is to investigate the association between benign gallbladder disease and gallbladder carcinoma; to explain the timing of intervention, intervention and early prevention of benign gallbladder disease; according to the national epidemiology of gallbladder cancer Center Clinical Research (unpublished), 2000 National Cholecystoma Clinical Epidemiology Report, and 2005 Clinical Analysis of 2379 Cases of Gallbladder Carcinoma in 17 Hospitals in Five Northwest Provinces, Pre-experimental data, using samples The volume estimation formula, α = 0.05, β = 0.1, plans to enroll 100,000 people.Half of participants is someone with Biliary benign disease,while the other half is healthy.

Read the detailed description

Gallbladder cancer is the most common malignant biliary tract tumor. The main risk factors for gallbladder cancer include gallstones, gallbladder polyps, gallbladder adenomas, chronic inflammation of the gallbladder, etc. However, recently, there is still a lack of evaluation data on relevant risk factors. Therefore, on the basis of large-scale epidemiological investigations, large-scale prospective studies are needed to further clarify the level of risk factors associated with gallbladder cancer. With the development of modern imaging technology and deep understanding of gallbladder diseases, the detection rate of benign gallbladder lesions (cacerous polyps, gallbladder adenomyosis, gallbladder adenoma, gallstones, etc.) has increased year by year, and some benign gallbladder lesions can pass A series of pathophysiological processes have gradually evolved into gallbladder cancer. This study aimed to establish a prospective cohort of benign gallbladder disease, to explore the correlation, intervention time and socioeconomic benefits of benign gallbladder disease and gallbladder cancer. In order to further understand the current trend and diagnosis and treatment of benign gallbladder disease in China, the Chinese Society of Surgery Branch of the Chinese Society of Surgery will launch a national epidemiological survey of gallbladder cancer (2018). This study will provide a more detailed basis for the diagnosis and treatment of benign gallbladder disease in China.

Study population

The recruits included patients with benign gallbladder cancer and healthy people, mainly from the Grade-A Tertiary Hospitals and medical centers in China.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Subjects who met the following four criteria entered the study.

    1. A benign gallbladder disease is detected during a medical examination or visit (according to any imaging test);
    2. healthy people without gallbladder disease;
    3. Age greater than 18 years and less than 80 years old;
    4. Sign the form. PS: If someone meets the condition (1) or (2), then he can be enrolled.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects can not enter the study by combining any of the following

    1. Concomitant diseases such as severe mental illness, severe heart, lung and kidney;
    2. Refusal of follow-up requirements.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

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.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 4, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
