Brief Title

AXIOS™ for Gallbladder Drainage as an Alternative to Percutaneous Drainage IDE

Official Title

A Multicenter, Prospective Study of EUS-Guided Transluminal Gallbladder Drainage in Patients With Acute Cholecystitis as an Alternative to Percutaneous Gallbladder Drainage

Brief Summary

      To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the AXIOS™ Stent with Electrocautery Enhanced
      Delivery System in the management of symptoms of acute cholecystitis as an alternative to
      percutaneous gallbladder drainage.
    

Detailed Description

      This study is a prospective, single arm, multi center trial. Treatment of up to 30 patients
      will take place at up to 9 clinical centers. Patients who meet all eligibility criteria will
      receive the AXIOS stent for up to 60 days indwell and 72 hour follow-up after stent removal.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          1. Patient requiring intervention for the management of symptoms associated with acute
             cholecystitis

          2. Patients referred for percutaneous drainage of the gallbladder who are not surgical
             candidates because of advanced age, anesthetic risk, significant co-morbidities and/or
             overall health

          3. Eligible for endoscopic intervention

          4. Acute Cholecystitis (AC) Grade I (mild) or II (moderate) per Tokyo guidelines:

               -  AC Grade I (mild) defined as acute cholecystitis in an otherwise healthy patient
                  with mild local inflammatory changes and without organ dysfunction. Criteria for
                  grade II or III not met.

               -  AC Grade II (moderate) defined by any one of the following characteristics

                    -  Palpable, tender mass in right upper quadrant

                    -  Symptom duration >72 hours

                    -  Marked local inflammation (gangrenous or emphysematous cholecystitis,
                       pericholecystic or hepatic abscess, biliary peritonitis)

          5. Pre-drainage imaging confirms sufficient stone-free space to allow AXIOS™ stent
             deployment and complete flange expansion

          6. 18 years of age or older

          7. Willing and able to comply with the study procedures and patient or legally authorized
             representative (LAR) must provide written informed consent form (ICF) to participate
             in the study

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. AC Grade III (severe) per Tokyo guidelines defined by organ dysfunction in any one of
             the following systems:

               -  Cardiovascular - Hypotension requiring administration of ≥5μg/kg/min of dopamine
                  or any dose of norepinephrine

               -  Neurologic - decreased level of consciousness

               -  Respiratory - PaO2/FiO2 <300

               -  Renal - Oliguria and Creatinine >2.0 mg/dl (>177 μmol/liter)

          8. Patients with a current percutaneous drainage

          9. Patients with a history of percutaneous gallbladder drainage without AC free period
             following percutaneous drainage removal

         10. Distance between gallbladder wall and duodenal or gastric wall > 1cm by US
