These may be related to an underlying disease or previous surgery. Patients with this problem usually require tubes to be inserted into the biliary system to drain bile into a bag outside of their body, impacting their quality of life.\n\nThe purpose of this research study is to use a laser device to try to re-open the biliary drainage system.', 'detailedDescription': 'The current preferred minimally invasive treatment for surgically related or in-situ benign biliary stenosis (BBS) involves open surgical revision, endoscopic retrograde cholangiographic (ERCP) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiographic (PTC) balloon angioplasty and/or stent/biliary catheter placement. Unfortunately, most patients are poor open surgical operative candidates. Although ERCP is the preferred secondary approach, anatomical restrictions often require PTC. Additionally, previously placed biliary stents/catheters have poor long term patency and require routine exchange every 3-6 months. The vast majority of surgically related BBS patients are non-operative candidates for surgical revision of their BBS, and do not have favorable anatomy for ERCP access. For patients who have failed aggressive PTC balloon angioplasty of their stenoses, treatment consists of indefinite biliary catheter exchanges every 3 months. Lifelong biliary catheter dependence severely impacts the quality of life in an otherwise healthy patient with no additional evidence of their initial disease process.\n\nA potential long-term therapy to alleviate BBS that has not been explored is the use of laser excision of the fibrotic tissue responsible for these stenoses. Therapeutic applications of lasers in medicine is not a novel concept. Its use has been well documented in the urologic tract to ablate tissue (benign prostatic hypertrophy) and renal stones. Recent laser therapeutic use in the biliary tract to dissolve gallstones has been described. The laser excision of BBS has potential to provide long term alleviation of BBS. The primary endpoint of this feasibility study is to assess the safety and initial efficacy of BBS laser excision.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Subjects with diagnosed benign biliary stenosis\n* Initial total serum bilirubin \\> 1.9 mg/dL\n* Subjects currently having an internal/external percutaneous biliary drain\n* Subjects that have failed at least 3 separate biliary stenosis balloon angioplasties and are deemed non-surgical candidates by the transplant and/or pancreaticobiliary surgical services at the University of Florida'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02118493', 'briefTitle': 'Endo-biliary Laser Excision of Biliary Stenoses', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Florida'}, 'officialTitle': 'Endo-biliary Laser Excision of Biliary Stenoses: Initial Experience and Feasibility', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'IRB201400129'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Benign Biliary Stenosis, Laser', 'description': 'Subjects that undergo the experimental intervention, that being single use of a laser excision catheter.', 'interventionNames': ['Device: Benign Biliary Stenosis, Laser']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Benign Biliary Stenosis, Laser', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'otherNames': ['Spectranetics Turbo-Tandem Laser Guide Catheter with Laser Atherectomy Catheter', 'Spectranetics CVX-300 Excimer Laser System'], 'description': 'Single use of laser to attempt excision of biliary ductal tissue causing stenosis.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Benign Biliary Stenosis, Laser']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Beau Toskich, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University of Florida Dept of Interventional Radiology'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Florida', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Spectranetics Corporation', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
