NCT03550560

Brief Summary

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of drainage of refractory malignant ascites by endoscopic ultrasound-guided (EUS-Guided) implantation of plastic prostheses. Patients with cancer older than 18 years with a life expectancy of less than 6 months who undergo EUS-Guided will be included in the study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of new evacuation paracentesis after the procedure.

    Paracentesis is an invasive technique that, by means of an abdominal percutaneous puncture, allows us to evacuate fluid from the peritoneal cavity. However, it only provides temporary improvement because the rapid recurrence of fluid usually occurs in about 72 hours.

    At 1 week.

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.

    At 1 week.

  • Change in quality of life by The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 15-palliative care (EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL)

    From baseline at 1 week.

  • Change in Dyspnea by The modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) Scale.

    From baseline at 1 week.

  • Change in abdominal pain by The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).

    From baseline at 1 week.

  • Change in abdominal circumference.

    From baseline at 1 week.

  • +1 more secondary outcomes
