Stent fixation for benign duodenal strictures
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a non-cancerous narrowing in the first part of the small intestine (duodenum).
- You have symptoms of a blockage, like nausea, vomiting, or belly pain.
- You have tried balloon dilation more than once and it didn't help.
- You are under 75 years old.

This trial compares two ways to treat narrowed areas (strictures) in the gut caused by Crohn's disease: endoscopic strictureplasty versus balloon dilation. It aims to see which method works better for people whose strictures are manageable with a scope.
This trial tests a new way to treat narrowed areas (strictures) in the bowel caused by inflammatory bowel disease. A soft metal tube called a stent is placed using a scope to open the narrowing and relieve symptoms, which may help avoid surgery.
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.
This trial tests a new approach that combines two procedures (stricturotomy and balloon dilation) against stricturotomy alone to treat short narrowed areas (strictures) caused by Crohn's disease. The goal is to see which method works better for keeping the bowel open longer.
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 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.
