Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

To compare the use of Self Expanding Metal Stents (SEMS) to plastic stents for the treatment of benign biliary strictures secondary to chronic pancreatitis as it pertains to stricture resolution rates, complication rates and number of ERCP procedures during 24 months.

Statistical testing will be performed to determine if the rate of stricture resolution for the metal stent is non-inferior to the plastic stent group. The null hypothesis is that the stricture resolution rate is non-inferior in the Metal Stent Arm versus the Plastic Stent Arm
