Health Condition / Problems Studied
Modification(s)  
Health Type  Condition 
Healthy Human Volunteers  K83.1 – Obstruction of bile duct (biliary stricture) 
Patients  Pancreatic Carcinoma Resectable,  
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  WallFlexâ„¢ Biliary RX Fully Covered Stent System   Patients in this group will receive a study SEMS (self-expanding metal stent) 
Intervention  WallFlexâ„¢ Biliary RX Fully Covered Stent System   Patients in this group will receive a study SEMS (self-expanding metal stent, default choice for patients who are randomized to biliary drainage with a metal stent). 
Intervention  WallFlexâ„¢ Biliary RX Uncovered Stent System   A WallFlexâ„¢ Biliary RX Uncovered stent may be used at the joint discretion of the endoscopic and surgical investigators for documented reasons related to the ductal anatomy, namely stricture involving the cystic duct confluence, low cystic duct confluence, or other anatomic considerations to be specified (for patients who are randomized to biliary drainage with a metal stent).  
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  99.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  Age 18 or older
Willing and able to comply with the study procedures and provide written informed consent to participate in the study
Diagnosis of probable pancreatic cancer, distal common bile duct (CBD) cholangiocarcinoma and other periampullary cancers (histology not required)
Biliary obstructive symptoms or signs
Bilirubin level at/above 100 μmol per liter (5.8 mg/dL)
Distal biliary obstruction consistent with pancreatic cancer, distal CBD cholangiocarcinoma or other periampullary malignancy
Location of distal biliary obstruction is such that it would allow the proximal end of a stent to be positioned at least 2 cm from the hilum
Patients deemed as resectable by pancreatic protocol CT or MRI
Surgical candidate per pancreatobiliary surgeon after multi-disciplinary discussion
Surgery intent within 4 weeks
Endoscopic and surgical treatment to be provided by same team
 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Biliary strictures caused by confirmed benign tumors
Biliary strictures caused by malignancies other than pancreatic, cancer, distal CBD cholangiocarcinoma and other periampullary cancers
Surgically altered biliary tract anatomy, not including prior cholecystectomy
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy for current malignancy
Palliative indication due to reasons other than surgical candidate status
Previous biliary drainage by ERCP/PTC
Patients for whom endoscopic techniques are contraindicated
Participation in another investigational trial within 90 days
Pregnancy

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that preoperative biliary drainage using self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) does not negatively impact overall surgical outcomes in patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy for treatment of pancreatic or periampullary cancer.
