Recruiting studies
- NCT05779436Recruiting
AI camera tool to examine bile duct narrowings during ERCP
This study tests an artificial-intelligence computer add-on (an AI “camera guide”) used during a procedure that looks inside the bile ducts. If you have a bile duct narrowing, it may help the doctor more quickly and accurately identify the cause while you undergo the usual procedure.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05761483Recruiting
Endoscopic treatment for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This trial tests an endoscopic (camera-based) approach to treat bile duct narrowing that happens after a liver transplant. It may help improve bile flow and liver blood test results when the narrowing is in the bile duct area near where the liver’s bile ducts split.
Roma, RMAges 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+ - NCT06277531Recruiting
Testing bile DNA to diagnose unclear bile duct strictures
This trial looks at whether DNA fragments in bile can help doctors tell if a bile duct stricture is cancerous or not. It may provide a less invasive way to get a clear diagnosis.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06964425Recruiting
Raman light test for bile duct cancer diagnosis
This study tests a special light technique (Raman spectroscopy) to see if it can help diagnose cancer in the bile ducts outside the liver. It could be an option for people already needing an ERCP procedure.
Olomouc, Olomouc RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06655051Recruiting
Plastic versus metal stent for bile duct blockage from chronic pancreatitis
This study compares two types of stents (plastic vs. metal) to see which works better for treating bile duct narrowing caused by chronic pancreatitis. If you have a bile duct blockage from chronic pancreatitis, you may be eligible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06614452Recruiting
Using ultrasound to biopsy bile duct narrowings
This study tests a new way to take a sample from a narrowed bile duct using a special ultrasound. It may help doctors diagnose the cause of the narrowing without more invasive procedures.
Foggia, FGAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06613945Recruiting
Comparing two ways to open blocked bile ducts in liver cancer
This study compares two procedures to drain bile from the liver in people with blocked bile ducts caused by cancer that cannot be removed. It looks at whether using an ultrasound-guided approach along with standard ERCP works better than ERCP alone.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07407491RecruitingPhase 2
Antibiotic during ERCP for bile duct infection
This trial tests if giving an antibiotic directly into the bile duct during an ERCP procedure helps treat acute cholangitis better than standard care. If you have mild or moderate cholangitis and are scheduled for ERCP within 48 hours, you may be a candidate.
Cheras, Kuala LumpurAges 18 years+ - NCT06716541Recruiting
Biodegradable stent for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This study is testing a special temporary stent that breaks down over time to help open a narrowed bile duct after a liver transplant. It may help avoid long-term plastic stents or additional surgery.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07206355Recruiting
Studying bile duct and liver lesions for new cancer tests
This study looks at tissue samples from people with bile duct, liver, or pancreas problems to develop better ways to detect cancers in these areas. If you are scheduled for a biopsy, scan, or surgery for a suspected growth in your liver, pancreas, or bile duct, you may be able to help.
NottinghamAges 16 years+ - NCT07007832Recruiting
Bile test to diagnose unclear bile duct narrowings
This trial uses a bile sample to help diagnose the cause of a bile duct stricture (a narrowing) that was not clearly identified by standard tests. It may help patients avoid more invasive procedures.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 18–90 - NCT03977779Recruiting
Stent to help prevent pancreatitis after endoscopy
This trial tests a temporary, biodegradable stent to lower the chance of getting pancreatitis after an ERCP endoscopy procedure. It may help people who are considered at higher risk, by trying to prevent this complication.
Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT06905054RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing PSC recurrence after liver transplant
This trial tests whether fenofibrate can prevent primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) from coming back after a liver transplant. It is for adults who had a liver transplant for PSC between 1 and 7 years ago and have certain risk factors.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT04622540Recruiting
Study for living donor liver transplant patients
This study looks at living donor liver transplant care and follows patients for about 3 years to see how they do over time. If you had (or are scheduled for) a living donor liver transplant and can be followed long-term, this trial may be able to collect your outcomes.
SeoulAges 19–79 - NCT06671418Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Stenting vs drainage for blocked bile ducts from cancer
This study compares two ways to open blocked bile ducts near the liver due to cancer that cannot be removed. One method uses a stent placed through the skin (percutaneous stenting), and the other uses a tube placed through a scope (endoscopic drainage). The goal is to see which approach works better for relieving jaundice and improving quality of life.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for biliary stricture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting biliary stricture 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 stricture 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 stricture 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.
