Aminophylline for kidney stones that couldn't be reached with a scope
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether putting a drug called aminophylline into the ureter (the tube connecting the kidney to the bladder) can help break up or pass kidney stones that were too hard to reach with a standard rigid scope.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a procedure called semi-rigid ureteroscopy that failed to reach your kidney stone.
- You are not a child (age 18 or older).
- You do not have a stent placed before the procedure.
- You are not allergic to aminophylline, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You do not have an active urinary tract infection, problems with anesthesia, or uncorrected bleeding problems.

This trial studies whether some people can avoid getting a ureteral stent after ureteroscopy and lithotripsy for a kidney stone. It may help reduce stent-related discomfort while still keeping outcomes safe for the stone problem.
This trial tests if placing aminophylline into the ureter during a stone removal procedure (flexible ureteroscopy) reduces complications. It may help people with kidney stones smaller than 2 cm who have not had a ureteral stent placed before.
This trial tests whether a medication called aminophylline, placed directly in the bladder during surgery, helps doctors access and remove small stones stuck in the lower ureter (the tube that carries urine from the kidney). It's designed for children whose ureter is difficult to reach during the initial procedure.
This trial tests whether injecting aminophylline (a medication that relaxes muscles) into the bladder can help doctors place a stent (small tube) to relieve a blocked ureter caused by a kidney stone. The goal is to improve kidney function when one kidney is blocked and not working.
This study compares two methods of using a thin, flexible scope to remove kidney stones smaller than 2 cm in children. One method uses a standard tube, and the other uses a special flexible tube that can suction out stone fragments. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for kids.
This trial uses a special scope inserted through the kidney to break up and remove large, branching kidney stones (called staghorn stones). It may be a good option if you have this type of stone and your kidneys are working well.
