Prophylactic EUS-guided Gastroenterostomy in Advanced Periampullary Cancers
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
ERCP alone: ERCP with biliary stenting will be performed alone. ERCP is part of standard of care for biliary drainage. An endoscope is advanced to the small intestines and a metal stent is inserted through the tumor instead of bypassing the tumor to effectively drain the biliary system under x-ray guidance. Management of MGOO will be on a wait-and-see approach, using endoscopic interventions performed only if obstruction is clinically diagnosed
ERCP +ProEUS-GE: ERCP is performed as described above. following the ERCP, the scoped is switched for an echoendoscope which is advanced to the stomach. A stent is then placed between the stomach and the small intestines, creating a connection (ProEUS-GE).
Study summary
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to investigate the effectiveness and safety of Prophylactic EUS-gastroenterostomy (ProEUS-GE) as a preventative approach for malignant gastric outlet obstruction (MGOO) in men and women aged 18 years or older diagnosed with periampullary cancer.
The main question this study aims to answer is can ProEUS-GE effectively prevent the occurrence of MGOO in patients with periampullary cancer?
Patients will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group 1 (ERCP alone) or Group 2 (ERCP + ProEUS-GE). The study will compare the outcomes between these groups to determine the effectiveness of ProEUS-GE in preventing MGOO.
Researchers will compare Group 1 (ERCP alone) with Group 2 (ERCP + ProEUS-GE) to see if the addition of ProEUS-GE leads to a reduced occurrence of MGOO in patients with periampullary cancer.
The primary endpoint is the rate of malignant gastric outlet obstruction.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Rate of gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) — 18 months
Gastric outlet obstruction is defined as GOOSS of \< 2 AND radiological and/or endoscopic confirmation of the presence of GOO either from a gastroduodenal stricture, stent obstruction, or stent migration.
