Summary: The clinical success of percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage procedures (PTBDs) is usually measured by the the decrease of the serum bilirubin value. However, the bilirubin value can be biased by other disease conditions. Furthermore, the time course of the decrease of the bilirubin value after technically successful PTBD is not well known. Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), a liver enz...

Summary: Distal malignant biliary obstruction results from different types of tumors including pancreatic cancer, biliary tract cancer (BTC), gallbladder cancer, and metastasis, which can lead to obstructive jaundice. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) represents the gold standard for jaundice palliation in this setting of patients. However, surgically altered anatomy (i.e., Whipple inte...

Summary: This study is a Phase 2a First-in-Human (FIH) clinical trial to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of multiple ascending doses of CNP-104. The study consists of a 120 day primary study followed by a 20 month long-term safety and durability of response follow-up period.

Summary: EUS-guided biliary drainage is gaining popularity as a means of achieving endoscopic drainage in patients with failed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) 1. EUS-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) is a type of EUS-guided biliary drainage and the procedure is employed when the ERCP fails due to a malignant bile duct obstruction but the papilla is inaccessible or if the first of the d...
