Comparing stents for malignant ureteral blockage
Part of Cancer, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using two newer stents (Tandem Polyurethane) works better than the standard single silicone stent for people whose urine tubes are blocked by cancer. The goal is to improve urine flow and relieve discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a blockage in the tube that drains urine from kidney to bladder caused by cancer
- Your ureter blockage is not from another reason like stones or infection
- You can understand and agree to take part in the study

This trial tests a new type of ureteric stent (a tube that helps drain urine from the kidney) against the standard stent. It is open to patients who have had a stent before and need a new one because of kidney stones or cancer pressing on the ureter.
This trial compares two types of ureteral stents (small tubes that help urine drain from the kidney to the bladder) in children having surgery for kidney stones. The goal is to see which type causes fewer symptoms like pain or discomfort.
This trial is testing a new type of temporary tube (stent) that dissolves on its own after being placed in the ureter following kidney stone surgery. It looks at how safe and well the stent works to keep the ureter open while healing.
This trial tests two medicines (terazosin and tamsulosin) to see which one better reduces discomfort from a ureteral stent placed after stone treatment. If you've recently had a stent placed and have no other major health issues, you may be able to join.
This study compares three different ways of placing a small tube called a stent in the ureter after stone-removal surgery. The goal is to find the best method to reduce discomfort and improve recovery.
This study compares four types of ureteral stents to see which causes the fewest side effects after kidney stone treatment. If you have a stent placed after stone surgery, your symptoms will be tracked to help find the best option.
