Recruiting studies
- NCT06816615Recruiting
Treating gallstones and bile duct problems through the skin
This trial tests a new way to diagnose and treat gallstones or bile duct narrowing without surgery, using a needle through the skin (percutaneous treatment). It is for people whose condition could not be fixed with an endoscope.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT07263061Recruiting
Recovery of albumin after major liver and pancreas surgery
This trial tracks how quickly your albumin (a protein in your blood) returns to normal after major surgery on your liver, pancreas, or bile ducts, to see if that predicts your recovery. It may help doctors understand how you are healing.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 13–80 - NCT07792200Recruiting
Second ultrasound for detecting gallbladder inflammation
This study tests whether doing a second ultrasound a few hours after the first one can help doctors find gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) earlier, which could lead to faster treatment.
York, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04259580Recruiting
Patient registry for ERCP procedures and related studies
This trial is a registry that collects information about adults who are having an ERCP procedure at the study site. It may help researchers better understand outcomes and improve care by tracking real-world results and possibly running smaller future studies.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04929821Recruiting
Study of a dissolvable stent for bile duct narrowing
This study is testing a new type of stent that eventually dissolves on its own. The stent is placed in a narrowed bile duct to open it up and let bile flow properly. This might help people with strictures caused by scarring, stones, past surgeries, or certain bile duct cancers.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06767605Recruiting
Spanish registry for autoimmune liver diseases
This study collects information from people with autoimmune or cholestatic liver diseases to better understand them and improve care. It does not test a new treatment, but your participation can help future research.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05399745Recruiting
Study of biliary atresia in children with heart disease
This trial is studying children who have biliary atresia, a serious liver problem, including some who also have tetralogy of Fallot (a congenital heart condition). It also includes healthy children for comparison, and may help researchers understand the illness and treatments better.
CopenhagenAges birth–18 years - NCT07222527Recruiting
One stent versus two for gallbladder problems
This trial tests whether using one plastic stent or two is better for people with gallbladder disease who need an ERCP but can't have gallbladder surgery right away. It aims to find which approach works best to keep the bile duct open and prevent complications.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–95 - NCT03273049Recruiting
Study of disease processes in children getting liver transplants
This study maps how biliary atresia (a childhood blockage/problem with bile flow from the liver) progresses and changes in the body around the time of a liver transplant. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve future care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06860984RecruitingPhase 3
Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Duloxetine in the Prevention of Post Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis
This phase 3 trial tests duloxetine for preventing pancreatitis after ERCP in adults with normal baseline amylase/lipase and without certain comorbidities.
TantaAges 18–65 - NCT05141916Recruiting
Testing the best way to evaluate suspected bile duct stones
This trial studies how doctors should best check and manage people with suspected bile duct stones. It may help improve the accuracy and safety of next-step testing and treatment.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06895785Recruiting
Single-use vs reusable scope for bile/pancreatic duct issues
This trial compares a single-use scope to a reusable one for people with bile duct or pancreatic duct problems. It aims to see if the single-use scope works as well and may reduce infection risk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19 years+ - NCT07421011RecruitingPhase 1
Comparing two forms of a drug for healthy volunteers
This study tests two different versions of a drug called Trimedat to see if they work the same way in the body. It is for healthy volunteers to understand how the drug is absorbed and if it is safe.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–45 - NCT07017283Recruiting
Comparing two sedation methods for older adults having ERCP
This study compares two ways of keeping you comfortable and safe during an ERCP procedure: deeper sedation with a breathing tube versus deep sedation without a breathing tube. It aims to find which method causes fewer side effects in older adults.
Hangzhou, ZhijiangAges 60 years+ - NCT07715500Recruiting
MRI of Bile Ducts in Living Liver Donors
This study uses an MRI scan to look at the bile ducts in healthy people who want to donate part of their liver. The goal is to see if the scan can help predict and prevent bile duct problems for the person receiving the liver.
New DelhiAges 18–55 - NCT06519162Recruiting
Liver-gut link study for liver disease patients and their families
This study looks at how gut bacteria differ in people with specific liver diseases and their household contacts. It may help researchers understand the connection between the liver and gut.
Daejeon, Jung-guAges 19 years+ - NCT06881004Recruiting
Biliary Dilation National Cohort Study in China
This study collects health information from people in China who have biliary dilation (widening of the bile ducts). It looks at their medical history and follows some patients over time to learn more about the condition.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 80 years - NCT06777914Recruiting
Genes linked to rare liver disease and cancer risk
This study looks at whether certain family-related genes make people more likely to develop liver or bile duct cancers without a clear cause. If you had surgery or a transplant for one of these cancers and have had unexplained high liver enzymes or itching, this trial may help find genetic clues.
Bologna, BolognaAges 1 year+ - NCT06396546Recruiting
Indian Children with Glycogen Storage Disease Registry
This study is creating a registry (a database) to better understand glycogen storage diseases in Indian children. If your child has a confirmed genetic diagnosis, joining helps doctors learn more about the condition and improve care.
Guindy, ChennaiAges Up to 18 years - NCT03445585Recruiting
Biobank study for primary sclerosing and primary biliary cholangitis
This study collects and stores samples from people with PSC (primary sclerosing cholangitis), PBC (primary biliary cholangitis), and some related liver conditions. Researchers use these samples to better understand these diseases and support future research.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–85 - NCT07270809Recruiting
Chronic liver disease with organ failure: early outcomes study
This study follows patients with chronic liver disease who are hospitalized non-electively for organ failure, to understand the course of illness and outcomes over six months. It may help doctors improve care for similar patients.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–70 - NCT07685353Recruiting
Genes and graft fat after liver transplant study
This study looks at how genetic differences between liver donors and recipients affect fat buildup in the new liver after transplantation. It may help doctors understand why some transplanted livers develop steatosis (fatty liver) after the surgery.
New DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT06365424RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Fenofibrate for Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC)
This trial tests whether the drug fenofibrate can help people with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease. It is for patients who have already taken fenofibrate in a previous study and want to continue treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for biliary disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 35 recruiting biliary disease studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a biliary disease trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a biliary disease trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
