Bile leak treatment with lab-grown bile duct cells
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to treat bile leaks that don't heal with standard procedures. It uses your own bile duct cells, grown in the lab, to help repair the leak.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had surgery on your liver, pancreas, or bile ducts that included rebuilding the bile duct.
- You have a bile leak that hasn't healed with other treatments like radiology or endoscopy.
- You have a sample of your bile duct available for the study.

This trial tests whether growing a patient's tumor cells in the lab can help doctors choose the best chemotherapy for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a type of bile duct cancer in the liver. The goal is to personalize treatment and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether growing your tumor cells in the lab to see which drugs kill them can help choose a more effective treatment for your advanced bile duct cancer. If you join, your treatment may be personalized based on how your tumor responds to different drugs.
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 study tests a way to prevent bile leaks after surgery to remove part of the liver in children. Bile is a digestive fluid made by the liver, and if it leaks after surgery it can cause problems. The approach involves a special technique during the operation to reduce the chance of this happening.
This trial uses a test called MiniPDX, which grows a tiny sample of your tumor in mice to see which drugs work best. After your surgery, you'll receive chemotherapy chosen specifically for your cancer to help prevent it from coming back.
