Improving a Bile Duct Drainage Procedure in Patients With Inoperable Cancer Blocking the Bile Ducts: Comparing Two Types of Endoscopically Placed Internal Stents to Prevent Blockage of a Lumen Apposing Metal Stent (Opti-LAMS) 100

Not yet recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT07115420 (Opti-LAMS) is an interventional study for Malignant Biliary Obstruction, Advanced Pancreatic Cancer and Cholangiocarcinoma, Inoperable Malignant Biliary Obstruction, Lumen Apposing Metal Stents and is currently not yet recruiting. Enrollment is planned to begin on 1 September 2025 and continue until the study accrues 100 participants. Led by Waikato Hospital, this study is expected to complete by 1 March 2028. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 11 August 2025.
Brief Summary
This study looks at the best way to treat bile duct blockage in people with advanced cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. A blocked bile duct can cause serious symptoms like yellowing of the skin (jaundice), infection, and pain.

A common procedure called ERCP sometimes doesn't work in these patients. A newer method called EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy (EUS-CDS) uses internal ultrasound to place a special me...

ExperimentalFully covered self expanding metal stent (FCSEMS) within LAMS
In those randomised to FCSEMS, size will depend on the size of the LAMS with a 6mm LAMS to be stented with 8mm diameter FCSEMS and an 8mm LAMS to be stented with a 10mm FCSEMS, 4cm or 6cm length. The aim is to have at least 3cm of FCSEMS in the duodenal lumen If unable to place FCSEM through LAMS, crossover to DPS is allowed with plan for both intention to treat and per protocol analysis to be undertaken after comple...Show More

Active ComparatorDouble pigtail stent (DPS) within LAMS
In those randomised to DPS, a double pigtail will be placed through the LAMS. The size of the stents will be left to the discretion of the proceduralist though 7Fr calibre with 7cm length is the recommended size
Double pigtail stent (DPS) within LAMS
In those randomised to DPS, a double pigtail will be placed through the LAMS. The size of the stents will be left to the discretion of the proceduralist though 7Fr calibre with 7cm length is the recommended size
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
To compare the incidence of stent dysfunction (defined as recurrent jaundice and/or cholangitis) in patients with malignant biliary obstruction receiving FCSEMS vs DPS stent-in-stent through LAMS
26 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Technical success of LAMS placement.
Whether the LAMS stent is able to be successfully placed in the procedure
1 day
Technical success of second stent-in-stent placement
Whether the second stent (either FCSEMS or DPS) is able to be placed successfully
1 day
Clinical success of biliary drainage (evaluated at weeks 1, 2, 4, 12, and 26 using bilirubin and liver enzymes).
whether biliary drainage has been successful based on biochemical blood tests
weeks 1, 2, 4, 12, and 26
Re-intervention rate
blockage of the LAMS stent requiring repeat procedure(s) as evidenced by clinical, biochemical evidence, and/or radiological evidence of biliary obstruction
26 weeks
