Recruiting studies
- NCT06991049Recruiting
Early vs late stenting for benign esophageal narrowing
This study compares placing a stent early versus waiting longer in people with non-cancerous narrowing of the esophagus that makes swallowing difficult. The goal is to find out which timing works best to improve swallowing and quality of life.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06514079Recruiting
Steroid injection for stubborn esophageal strictures in children
This trial tests whether adding a steroid injection to esophageal dilation helps children with narrowings that keep coming back. If you have a child with a stubborn narrowing that has already needed dilation, this treatment might help keep it open longer.
Cairo, SelectAges 2–14 - NCT07100379Recruiting
Balloon time study for esophageal narrowing after surgery
This study compares two balloon inflation times (30 seconds vs 60 seconds) to see which works better for treating narrow spots in the esophagus that form after esophageal atresia repair.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 18 years - NCT07534800Recruiting
Bougie Cap device for treating swallowing problems from benign esophageal strictures
This study tests a device called Bougie Cap that helps open up benign (non-cancerous) narrowings in the esophagus (food pipe) to relieve swallowing difficulties. If you have a confirmed benign stricture causing trouble swallowing and haven't had endoscopic treatment yet, this study may be right for you.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT06675825Recruiting
New cap for expanding narrow esophagus in kids
This trial tests a new cap that helps doctors widen a narrowed part of the esophagus (the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach) in children. The cap is used during a scope procedure to make the dilation safer and easier.
RomeAges birth–18 years - NCT05561114RecruitingPhase 3
Paclitaxel balloon to widen stubborn benign food pipe narrowing
This study tests whether a paclitaxel-coated balloon can keep the esophagus (food pipe) open longer in people with a stubborn benign narrowing. It aims to improve swallowing by reducing how often the narrowing needs repeat stretching.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 22 years+ - NCT06364553Recruiting
Metal stent for swallowing problems from cancer
This study tests whether a metal tube (stent) placed in the esophagus can safely improve swallowing in people whose cancer blocks the food pipe and cannot be cured. It may help you eat and drink more comfortably.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for esophageal stricture?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 7 recruiting esophageal 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 esophageal 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 esophageal 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.
