Smart glasses for first-time bile duct access in ERCP
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests whether a doctor wearing smart glasses can help guide an ERCP procedure to reach the bile duct for the first time. If you need an ERCP and have never had this opening cut before, this trial may help make the procedure safer and more precise.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have never had a papillotomy (a cut in the opening of your bile duct).

This trial tests if a computer program can help doctors place a tube into the bile duct more easily during a procedure called ERCP. It may help people who need this procedure for bile duct problems.
This trial tests a special scope that helps doctors see inside the bile duct during an ERCP procedure. It may help people with blocked bile ducts that can't be treated with standard methods.
This study looks at why it might be hard to place a tube into the bile duct during an ERCP (a scope procedure). It is for adults who need an ERCP and do not have certain blood or pancreas conditions that could make the procedure riskier or more difficult.
This study compares two techniques used when doctors have trouble placing a wire into the bile duct during an ERCP procedure. It looks at which method might be safer and more successful for patients with bile duct blockages.
This study is testing a new computer tool that uses MRI and CT scans to create a 3D map of the bile ducts. The goal is to help doctors perform a procedure called ERCP more safely and accurately for people with bile duct narrowing.
This trial is testing a tool to predict how long an ERCP procedure will take. It involves ERCPs done by trainees under supervision and uses a tiny camera inside the bile duct.
