Tracking and treating bile duct infections after Kasai surgery
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at how to better define and treat bile duct infections (cholangitis) that can happen in the first year after Kasai surgery for biliary atresia. It aims to improve care for infants and children who have had this surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had Kasai surgery for biliary atresia
- You are within the first year after that surgery
- You have signs of a possible bile duct infection (cholangitis)
- You have not had repeated bile duct infections before
- You have not had a bile duct infection more than one year after surgery

This trial studies whether giving oral antibiotics before symptoms start can lower the chance of cholangitis (bile duct infection/inflammation) after Kasai portoenterostomy. It may help protect your child’s bile flow and reduce painful or serious infections after surgery.
This trial tests an enhanced recovery program (ERAS) to help children heal faster after surgery for two bile duct conditions: choledochal cyst and biliary atresia. The program includes steps to improve recovery, like better pain control and early eating.
This study tests whether giving umbilical cord stem cells during early Kasai surgery (a procedure to help drain bile) improves outcomes for infants with biliary atresia. It may help your baby's liver function and overall health.
This trial tests a new treatment using stem cells from umbilical cord blood or tissue, given to infants with biliary atresia during their Kasai surgery. The goal is to improve liver function and reduce the need for a liver transplant.
This study tests a medicine called GCSF (helps make white blood cells) in babies who have had Kasai surgery for biliary atresia. It aims to see if GCSF can improve liver function and overall outcomes.
This study tests whether a special nutrition plan helps babies with biliary atresia recover better after Kasai surgery. It is for infants under 3 months old who are ready for surgery.
