New stent study for kidney stone and cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You need a ureteric stent because of kidney stones or cancer in your belly or pelvis
- You have had a ureteric stent before
- You are waiting for a stent to be inserted or replaced
- You can read and understand study materials in English

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at the use of a ureteral access sheath (a tube that helps the surgeon reach the kidney) in people who already have a ureteral stent (a small tube placed in the ureter) and are having a stone removal procedure called ureteroscopy. It aims to find out if using this sheath is helpful for treating stones in the kidney or ureter.
This early-phase study tests whether taking an anti-inflammatory medicine around the time of ureter stent placement can improve outcomes for people with kidney stones. It looks for participants who are getting a stent after a scope procedure and who can follow strict medication and health rules.
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 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 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.
This trial is looking at whether placing a small tube (stent) in the ureter before a type of keyhole surgery for kidney stones helps with outcomes like pain and success of the procedure. It aims to see if this pre-treatment makes the surgery easier, potentially reducing complications and improving stone removal.
