Managing pancreatic stones in children
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how children with pancreatic duct stones are treated and how they do over time. It may help doctors learn the best ways to care for kids with this condition.

This trial looks at how often a small pancreatic stent (a plastic tube placed during an ERCP procedure) dislodges or causes problems. It may help patients who are getting a stent to prevent pancreatitis.
This trial is studying how often pancreatitis happens after a common bile duct procedure called ERCP, and how a standard safety protocol might help prevent it. It aims to include people who need a therapeutic ERCP (treatment, not just diagnosis) to learn more about safe practices.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (prosthesis) in the pancreas before removing gallbladder and bile duct stones during ERCP can prevent pancreatitis. It is for people with small gallbladder stones and bile duct stones who are at higher risk for pancreatitis after the procedure.
This trial compares two ways to break and remove pancreatic duct stones in people with long-term pancreas pain caused by calcified stones. It looks to see which approach helps reduce pain more effectively and safely.
This trial tests placing a small plastic tube (stent) in your pancreatic duct early during ERCP to try to prevent pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It’s for people having their first ERCP to get into their bile duct.
This study looks at whether placing a small tube (a pancreatic stent) during an ERCP procedure can lower the chance of getting pancreatitis afterward. If you need a difficult ERCP with bile duct access, the results may help improve prevention of post-procedure pancreatitis.
