Malignant Obstruction ZILVER Against Routine Therapy (MOZART I)

September 28, 2011 updated by: Cook Group Incorporated

Multicenter Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial of the Nitinol ZILVER Expandable Endoprosthesis in the Palliation of Extrahepatic Malignant Biliary Obstruction

This study compares the 6 mm nitinol Zilver biliary endoprostheses and the 10 mm nitinol Zilver biliary endoprostheses to the 10 mm Wallstent in appropriate patients in need of palliative treatment of malignant obstructive jaundice.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This research is being done to determine if the new, FDA-cleared Zilver metal biliary stent is better than the conventional stents. The new Zilver stent may permit more accurate placement, may avoid some potential complications and last longer than the conventional stents. The study will also examine to find the best diameter of stent by comparing standard 10 mm stents to 6 mm Zilver stents.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patency
Time Frame: up to 32 months
Number of days of stent patency: The time to stent occlusion requiring re-intervention, death, loss to follow-up, or patients alive at study end without an occlusion (>= 6 months after placement).
up to 32 months
Closure or Blockage of the Stent (Occlusion)
Time Frame: up to 32 months
Biliary stents may become closed or blocked. This is also termed "Occlusion." Data for this outcome measure involve stent occlusions that required re-intervention.
