Time to first event, ie stent dysfunction
• Time-to-first event (during 6 months follow up), i.e. stent dysfunction defined by bilirubin \>5 mg/dl and/or cholangitis (fever \>38.5°C and/or increase in C-reactive protein by at least 3-fold upper limit of normal and at least 20% from baseline without extrahepatic focus and absence of tumor progression) leading to premature stent replacement and/or disruption of chemotherapy (all possible events will be reviewed by a blinded and independent Endpoint Review Committee \[ERC\].)
