Testing a specific duodenal stent for duodenal narrowing
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is looking back at people with symptoms from narrowing of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) who had a specific type of stent placed between 2010 and 2017. It may help doctors understand how well these “uncovered” duodenal stents work over time, and who benefits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had symptoms from narrowing in the duodenum (duodenal stenosis).
- You received a duodenal prosthesis (stent) sometime between 2010 and 2017.
- Your stent was an “uncovered” type (not covered).
- This trial is about narrowing caused by non-benign (not “benign only”) problems.
- If your narrowing was labeled “benign” or your stent was “covered,” you likely cannot join.

This trial tests a method to keep a metal stent in place using a plastic stent for people with non-cancerous narrowing in the first part of the small intestine. It may help if you have symptoms like nausea or vomiting and other treatments have not worked.
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.
This study looks at treatments for a new (de novo) narrow area in the bowel from Crohn’s disease. It aims to see which treatment works better at relieving blockage-type symptoms for the safest, most effective option.
This study compares two different metallic stent designs to help keep bile ducts open in patients with advanced bile duct cancer. You would already have a temporary drainage tube in place and be scheduled for a permanent stent, so this trial tests which stent type works better.
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.
This trial tests a new type of stent (a small tube) placed into a blocked bile duct to help bile flow again. It's for people with bile duct blockages caused by cancer, including those getting chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.
