- 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+ - NCT06066372Recruiting
Using computer models to reduce need for scans for bile duct stones
This trial tests if a computer model can accurately predict when someone has a stone in the bile duct, so fewer people need invasive scans like endoscopic ultrasound or MRCP. It may help avoid unnecessary procedures in patients with a medium chance of having a bile duct stone.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–80 - NCT06852937Recruiting
Robotic surgery for gallstones and bile duct stones
This trial tests a new robotic surgical system (da Vinci SP) to remove the gallbladder and, if needed, clear stones from the main bile duct. It is for people with symptomatic gallstones or chronic gallbladder inflammation who cannot have stones removed by endoscopy.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07283185Recruiting
Comparing the carbon footprint of EUS and MRCP for bile duct stones
This trial compares the environmental impact of two common tests for bile duct stones: endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). It aims to find out which test has a smaller carbon footprint while still being effective.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–80 - NCT07418112RecruitingPhase 4
Laser vs other device for hard bile or pancreas stones
This study compares two types of lithotripsy (stone-breaking) devices, holmium laser and electrohydraulic lithotripsy, for treating difficult stones in the bile or pancreatic ducts. If you have a bile or pancreas stone that is large, stuck, or could not be removed with standard procedures, this trial may help determine which method works best.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19–85 - NCT07495111Recruiting
Using a Pancreatic Stent to Prevent Pancreatitis During Stone Removal
This study tests whether placing a small tube (prosthesis) in the pancreas before removing gallbladder and bile duct stones during ERCP can prevent pancreatitis. It is for people with small gallbladder stones and bile duct stones who are at higher risk for pancreatitis after the procedure.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07413068Recruiting
Comparing treatments for gallstones and bile duct stones
This trial looks at three different ways to treat people who have both gallstones and stones in the bile duct. It aims to find which approach works best and with the fewest complications.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT03921502Recruiting
ERCP vs ERCP with a stomach drainage procedure comparison
This trial compares two endoscopy approaches to drain a blocked bile duct caused by gallstones. It may help people who can’t safely have standard surgery decide which drainage method works best after an initial ERCP plan fails or is limited.
ValladolidAges 75 years+ - NCT04037007Recruiting
Fistulotomy during ERCP to open the bile duct entrance
This trial looks at whether a specific small procedure during ERCP helps doctors reach and drain the bile duct when gallstones or bile duct narrowing are suspected. It may help people avoid getting stuck during the procedure and improve how successfully the bile duct can be reached.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–90 - NCT06215040Recruiting
Treatment for silent common bile duct stones
This trial is for people who have a stone in the main bile duct (the tube that carries bile from the liver) but do not have symptoms like fever or belly pain. It tests how well different treatments work for these ‘silent’ stones.
Daegu, Gyungsangbok-doAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT07001423Recruiting
Gallbladder removal after bile duct stone treatment in older adults
This trial tests whether older adults (75+) who have had bile duct stones removed will benefit from also having their gallbladder taken out. It aims to prevent future problems by comparing outcomes for those who get the surgery versus those who don't.
EspooAges 75 years+ - NCT07008170Recruiting
Combined gallbladder and bile duct stone removal
This trial tests a one-time procedure that removes stones from both the gallbladder and the bile duct. It may help people who need both surgeries or who couldn't be treated with endoscopy alone.
MinyaAges 18–75 - NCT07012772RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new airway device for sedated ERCP
This trial tests a new breathing device (called a combo endoscopy oropharyngeal airway) to help keep your airway open during a sedated ERCP procedure. It may improve safety and comfort for people having this exam.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07051980RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen through a tube above the voice box for sedated ERCP
This study tests a new way to deliver oxygen during a sedated ERCP, using a thin tube placed above the voice box instead of a breathing tube. It aims to see if this method is safe and practical for people having this procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07130864Recruiting
Timing of gallbladder surgery after ERCP for bile duct stones
This trial compares having gallbladder removal surgery early versus later after clearing bile duct stones with an ERCP procedure. It aims to find the best timing to prevent future problems.
Peshawar, KhyberpukhtunkhwaAges Any age - 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+

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