Primaire uitkomstmaten
The combined incidence of severe complications related to EBD or PTBD between the initial drainage after treatment allocation (i.e. the index drainage procedure) and the day of explorative laparotomy. A severe complication is defined as any complication related to biliary drainage, requiring an additional invasive or surgical intervention with subsequent prolonged hospital stay or death, or readmission for drainage related morbidity. When explorative laparotomy is cancelled a substitute endpoint will be used in analysis of the
primary endpoint: (1) the total number of severe drainage-related complications between randomization and 1 week after biopsy in patients in whom the laparotomy is cancelled due to a diagnosis of distant metastatic disease, or (2) the total number of severe drainage-related
complications within 3 months after randomization in patients in whom the laparotomy is cancelled due to physical deterioration.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Cholestasis is a significant risk factor in the treatment of patients with suspected hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA) requiring major liver resection. Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) attenuates the effects of cholestasis caused by the tumor, but there is controversy over the preferred technique of PBD, either via endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) or using percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).
The objective of this multi-center randomized controlled trial is to identify a difference in the incidence of drainage related complications between EBD and PTBD for preoperative biliary drainage of HCCA.
Inclusion criteria: Suspicion of resectable HCCA; serum bilirubine >50 µmol/l; inadequate biliary drainage of the future remnant liver.
Main exclusion criteria: Incomplete recovery from side effects of any prior stenting procedure; contraindication for major surgery.
Intervention: Patients will be allocated to undergo either EBD or PTBD.
Primary endpoint: The incidence of severe drainage related complications between the index drainage procedure and explorative laparotomy, defined as any complication requiring an additional invasive intervention or hospital admission.
Secondary endpoints: Technical success of stent insertion; the time from drainage until explorative laparotomy; number of rescheduled laparotomies for clinical reasons; length of hospital stay; number of invasive procedures; post-laparotomy morbidity and mortality; quality of life.
This study is expected to identify PTBD as the preferred technique of preoperative biliary drainage for resectable HCCA on the basis of fewer drainage related complications and consequential better quality of life. Furthermore postoperative mortality and morbidity is expected to decrease with PTBD compared to EBD.
Doel van het onderzoek
This study is expected to identify less complications after percutaneous biliary drainage (PTBD) compared to endoscopic biliary drainage for resectable hilar cholangiocarcinoma.
Onderzoeksopzet
Therapeutic success: control ultrasound of the liver 7 days after index drainage procedure and control bilirubin 7 and 14 days after index drainage procedure. Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-30, EORTC QLQ-BIL21, EQ-5D): date of inclusion (baseline), 7, 28 and 90 days after index drainage procedure.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
Crossover treatment:
Crossover treatment applies to patients who require a repeat or revision procedure, but in whom the allocated drainage modality is no longer technically feasible. Cross-over treatment from EBD to PTBD is protocol mandatory if EBD is unsuccessful to achieve technical success after 2 attempts.
Antibiotics: Standard antibiotic prophylaxes are administered at the start of each biliary drainage procedure, according to local protocol. Prophylactic antibiotic treatments must be similar for endoscopic and percutaneous biliary drainage procedures in each centre. Cholangitis is treated with intravenous
antibiotics, preferably 2 grams ceftriaxone i.v plus gentamicine 5mg/kg, during hospital admission.
