Success and safety factors in jaundice treatment procedures
Part of Digestive system, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at what makes endoscopic procedures to treat obstructive jaundice (a condition where bile ducts are blocked, causing yellowing of the skin) work well and stay safe. Researchers will identify factors that help doctors succeed and keep patients protected during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have obstructive jaundice (blocked bile ducts) that needs endoscopic treatment
- Your blood clotting is normal or has been corrected before the procedure
- You do not have severe heart or lung problems
- You have not had stomach surgery that changed your digestive anatomy (like gastric bypass)
- You are not pregnant

This study tests a specific drainage step before surgery for patients with pancreatic head cancer who have severe jaundice. It aims to see if this approach improves outcomes compared to standard care.
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 compares two techniques used when doctors have trouble placing a wire into the bile duct during an ERCP procedure. It looks at which method might be safer and more successful for patients with bile duct blockages.
This study tests how well an MRI scan (called MRCP) can detect blockages in the bile ducts that cause jaundice. If you have obstructive jaundice, this scan may help doctors find the exact cause without surgery.
This study compares whether leaving a drainage tube (PTCD catheter) in place versus removing it during surgery for pancreatic cancer or similar tumors affects your recovery. The goal is to see which approach leads to better short-term outcomes after surgery.
This study looks at how well doctors can treat bile duct stones found during gallbladder removal surgery, and what complications patients experience afterward. It helps doctors understand the best way to manage these stones in future patients.
