Recruiting studies
- NCT06349863Recruiting
Dutch gallbladder inflammation snapshot study
This study looks at how patients with gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) are treated in the Netherlands. It aims to gather information on current practices and outcomes to help improve care for future patients.
Nieuwegein, UtrechtAges 18–120 - NCT06656299Recruiting

This study tests a new camera that helps surgeons see tissues more clearly during surgery. It may help improve surgical precision and safety.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - 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+ - NCT06918652Recruiting
Surgery or endoscopy for high-risk gallbladder inflammation
This trial compares two minimally invasive treatments for people with severe gallbladder inflammation caused by gallstones. It aims to see which approach better helps the immune system and reduces risks for those who are too sick for standard surgery.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06908980Recruiting
Predicting survival after gallbladder removal for infected gallbladder
This study is testing a tool to predict survival after gallbladder removal for people with acute cholecystitis caused by gallstones. By joining, you help doctors better assess risk and improve care for future patients.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT05702775Recruiting
Drain gallbladder with ultrasound endoscopy if surgery isn’t possible
This trial compares a new ultrasound-guided way to drain the gallbladder using an endoscope versus non-endoscopic treatments. It’s for adults with acute gallbladder inflammation (from stones) who cannot have surgery, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery.
Pamplona, NavarreAges Any age - NCT06287112Recruiting
Preventing gallbladder inflammation after bile duct drainage
This study tests whether a new drainage method can help prevent acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) in people who need a bile duct procedure. If you are at risk for gallbladder issues, this approach might reduce complications.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT06330688Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage study
This study tests a specific technique for draining the gallbladder using ultrasound guidance. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for people who need this procedure.
Chaïdári, AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT06476054Recruiting
Timing of gallbladder removal after drainage for severe inflammation
This study looks at the best time to remove the gallbladder after a drainage procedure for severe gallbladder inflammation. It helps doctors decide when surgery is safest and most effective for you.
LleidaAges 18 years+ - NCT06842966RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new tablet for chronic gallbladder issues
This trial tests an investigational tablet for people with long-term gallbladder inflammation (chronic cholecystitis) or bile duct movement problems (biliary dyskinesia). It aims to see if the tablet reduces stomach pain and other digestive symptoms.
Engel'sAges 18–70 - NCT06967597Recruiting
Comparing watchful care vs. active treatment for gallbladder infection after stent placement
This trial looks at whether it is safe to delay treatment for a gallbladder infection in patients who have already had a special stent placed to drain the gallbladder. Patients who are too sick for surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either antibiotics with monitoring or immediate gallbladder removal.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 18 years+ - NCT07006298Recruiting
One-year outcomes in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis
This study looks at how older adults (70+) with acute gallbladder inflammation respond to different treatments over one year. It aims to find the best approach for this age group.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 70 years+ - NCT07161960Recruiting
Early vs. delayed gallbladder removal after drainage
This trial compares removing the gallbladder early (within a few days) versus waiting several weeks after a drainage tube is placed. It aims to find the best timing for surgery in people with moderate to severe gallbladder inflammation.
Chiang MaiAges 20 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 - NCT07678541Recruiting
Gallbladder infection treatment for people 75 and older
This study compares two ways to treat a gallbladder infection in older adults: surgery or a less invasive procedure using an endoscope and ultrasound. The goal is to see which option leads to better outcomes.
Oulu, OuluAges 75 years+ - NCT07536191Recruiting
Gallbladder Drainage Methods for Acute Cholecystitis
This trial compares two ways to drain an inflamed gallbladder in patients who cannot safely have surgery: one approach goes through the stomach wall using ultrasound guidance, and the other goes through a bile duct opening. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer problems.
AichiAges 18 years+ - NCT07551375Recruiting
Fast MRI scan to diagnose gallbladder inflammation
This study tests whether a new type of quick MRI scan can reliably detect acute cholecystitis—sudden inflammation of the gallbladder. If it works well, doctors may be able to diagnose this condition faster and help patients get treatment sooner.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07595003RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new medicine for gallbladder pain and discomfort
This study tests whether a medicine called 4-MUST can safely reduce pain and digestive symptoms caused by chronic gallbladder problems. You'll take tablets for several weeks while researchers track how well the medicine works and any side effects.
MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT07672145Recruiting
Gallbladder removal: belly button vs. upper belly cut
This trial compares two ways to remove the gallbladder during laparoscopic surgery: through the belly button or through a cut just below the breastbone. It aims to find which method causes less pain and recovers faster.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT06074679Recruiting
Single incision gallbladder surgery for acute cholecystitis
This study tests whether removing the gallbladder through a single small cut (single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is safe and effective for people with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation). It may mean less pain and faster recovery than traditional surgery.
Huangshan City, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06918626Recruiting
Comparing two bile duct stone removal approaches during gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two ways of checking for and removing stones from the main bile duct during gallbladder surgery. One method uses a special scope (SpyGlass) during the operation, and the other does an MRI first. The goal is to see which approach is better for people with gallstone-related inflammation of the gallbladder who might have stones in the bile duct.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT03643718Recruiting
Emergency surgery and trauma patient registry online
This trial is a web-based registry that collects information about people who need emergency surgical or non-surgical treatment for sudden (acute) problems. Your information can help doctors better understand and improve emergency care and decision-making.
PisaAges Any age - NCT04813055Recruiting
Registry study for ultrasound during therapeutic endoscopy
This study keeps a careful record (registry) of patients who need ultrasound-guided therapeutic endoscopy. It aims to learn how well and safely this ultrasound technique works during real-life procedures.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cholecystitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting cholecystitis 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 cholecystitis 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 cholecystitis 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.
