Organoids for bile leaks
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether lab-grown bile duct cells (organoids) can repair persistent bile leaks after liver surgery. It may help patients whose leaks cannot be fixed with standard procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You had liver or pancreas surgery that included reconstructing the bile duct
- You have a bile leak at the surgical connection that cannot be treated with radiology or endoscopy
- Surgeons collected a sample of your bile duct during surgery for this study
Quick eligibility check

This trial uses a lab-grown model of your tumor (an organoid) to test which drugs work best before giving them to you. If you cannot have surgery to remove your cancer, this approach may help find a more effective treatment.
This study uses a lab model made from your tumor (an “organoid”) to predict how well a cancer medicine may work for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer in the liver). If you join, your eligibility depends mainly on age and having the right tumor biopsy sample available.
This study uses tumor samples to create lab-grown mini-livers (organoids) to better understand liver cancer. It may help researchers learn more about the disease and develop new treatments.
This study is testing a special temporary stent that breaks down over time to help open a narrowed bile duct after a liver transplant. It may help avoid long-term plastic stents or additional surgery.
This trial tests using a scope (endoscope) to fix bile duct injuries that happen after surgery. It may help people with post-surgery leaks or blockages in the bile ducts.
This trial tests whether growing your tumor cells in a lab (organoids) can help pick the best drug for your advanced liver cancer. It aims to make treatment more personalized and effective.
