One-year outcomes in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how older adults (70+) with acute gallbladder inflammation respond to different treatments over one year. It aims to find the best approach for this age group.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 70 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation) according to standard guidelines.
- You have not had a prior episode of cholecystitis or pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas).
- You do not have a terminal illness.
- You do not currently have acute pancreatitis, cholangitis (bile duct infection), bile duct disease, or digestive cancer.

This trial looks at whether it is safe to delay treatment for a gallbladder infection in patients who have already had a special stent placed to drain the gallbladder. Patients who are too sick for surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either antibiotics with monitoring or immediate gallbladder removal.
This study compares two ways to treat a gallbladder infection in older adults: surgery or a less invasive procedure using an endoscope and ultrasound. The goal is to see which option leads to better outcomes.
This study tests whether a scoring system called ACME can accurately identify patients with acute cholecystitis (sudden gallbladder inflammation). It aims to improve how this condition is diagnosed and managed, potentially leading to better treatment decisions.
This trial compares two minimally invasive ways to drain an infected gallbladder when you are too sick or not a candidate for surgery. It will help determine which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
This Phase 3 study compares two approaches for people with gallstone-related acute gallbladder inflammation: a procedure called EUS drainage versus antibiotic treatment alone. It may help you avoid early surgery if you are considered high risk for immediate gallbladder removal.
This study looks at gut bacteria (your microbiome) in people with gallstones to better understand what’s going on in the body. It includes adults having gallbladder removal surgery, and it may help researchers find better ways to predict or treat gallstone disease.
