Tokyo, July 1 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000061866) titled 'A Randomized Controlled Non-Inferiority Trial Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of 19-Gauge versus 22-Gauge Needle Puncture Approaches in Endoscopic Ultrasound-Guided Hepaticogastrostomy/Hepaticojejunostomy (EUS-HGS/HJS)' on June 30.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Parallel Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - Active

Primary Sponsor: Institute - University of Toyama Hospital

Condition: Condition - Biliary obstruction Classification by malignancy - Malignancy Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - To evaluate the non-inferiority of the 22-gauge needle puncture approach compared with the 19-gauge needle puncture approach in EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy/hepaticojejunostomy (EUS-HGS/HJS) for patients with biliary obstruction unsuitable for or refractory to transpapillary biliary drainage, using technical success rate as the primary endpoint. Basic objectives2 - Safety,Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - During EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy/hepaticojejunostomy (EUS-HGS/HJS), biliary puncture and stent placement will be performed using a 19-gauge needle and a 0.025-inch guidewire. Interventions/Control_2 - During EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy/hepaticojejunostomy (EUS-HGS/HJS), biliary puncture and stent placement will be performed using a 22-gauge needle and a 0.018-inch guidewire.
