Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this randomized trial is to evaluate the technical aspects of disposable duodenoscopes and to compare the technical outcomes between the disposable (single-use) and reusable duodenoscopes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Given the recent reports on infection outbreaks, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE), caused by contaminated duodenoscopes used at endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), a disposable (single-use) duodenoscope (Exalt, Single-Use Duodenoscope, Boston Scientific Corporation, Natick, MA) has been developed to circumvent this issue. However, there are currently no data on the technical features and outcomes of disposable duodenoscopes, in comparison with reusable duodenoscopes.

The aim of this randomized trial is therefore to evaluate the technical aspects of disposable duodenoscopes and to compare the technical outcomes between the two duodenoscope types.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Disposable (single-use) duodenoscope

This group will be using the disposable (single-use) duodenoscope during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Intervention Type DEVICE

The duodenoscope will be passed to the duodenum in the standard fashion. Once the papilla has been identified in the duodenum, cannulation of the desired duct will be performed in the standard fashion, with the type of accessories used left to the discretion of the individual endoscopist performing the procedure. If cannulation is considered difficult, advanced cannulation techniques can be used per standard of care at the discretion of the individual endoscopist. The types of accessories used will be left to the discretion of the individual endoscopist and will be dependent on procedure indication and personal preference. Cross-over to the alternate duodenoscope type can be performed at any time if the desired technical maneuver cannot be performed with the designated duodenoscope.

Reusable duodenoscope

This group will be using the reusable duodenoscope during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Intervention Type DEVICE

The duodenoscope will be passed to the duodenum in the standard fashion. Once the papilla has been identified in the duodenum, cannulation of the desired duct will be performed in the standard fashion, with the type of accessories used left to the discretion of the individual endoscopist performing the procedure. If cannulation is considered difficult, advanced cannulation techniques can be used per standard of care at the discretion of the individual endoscopist. The types of accessories used will be left to the discretion of the individual endoscopist and will be dependent on procedure indication and personal preference. Cross-over to the alternate duodenoscope type can be performed at any time if the desired technical maneuver cannot be performed with the designated duodenoscope.
