Studying how gut bacteria affect gallstone disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at gut bacteria (your microbiome) in people with gallstones to better understand what’s going on in the body. It includes adults having gallbladder removal surgery, and it may help researchers find better ways to predict or treat gallstone disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be over 18 years old
- Have confirmed gallstone disease based on imaging at the East Kent hospital
- Be scheduled for gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy), either open or laparoscopic
- Be able and willing to give consent to join the study
- Pregnancy is allowed

This study looks at how your gut bacteria and gut chemical products change after treatment for gallstones. It may help researchers understand what drives symptoms and recovery after surgery and/or endoscopic procedures.
This trial is studying people with gallbladder cancer, abnormal cell changes (dysplasia), or gallstones. It aims to learn more about these conditions, possibly before or after treatment, or before gallbladder removal surgery.
This study tests a method to remove bile duct stones during gallbladder surgery, aiming to treat both problems in one procedure.
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.
This study looks at how bacteria in your gut and bile duct might affect bile duct widening. By comparing tissue from people with this condition to healthy donor tissue, researchers hope to find new ways to understand and treat it.
This international study tracks how hospitals treat severe acute gallstone inflammation of the gallbladder (acute calculous cholecystitis) and what outcomes patients experience. Your participation helps doctors understand the best management strategies for this serious condition.
