Measuring outcomes in acute cholangitis
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well people recover from acute cholangitis, a serious bile duct infection. It will create a tool to track the impact of treatment, such as drainage procedures, to help doctors improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Between 18 and 80 years old
- Hospitalized with a definite diagnosis of acute cholangitis (a bile duct infection)
- Planned or already had a procedure to drain the bile duct, such as ERCP, PTBD, or EUS-BD
- This is your first time having a bile duct drainage for this infection during this hospital visit
- Not pregnant

This study looks at whether having bacteria in your bile affects how often a plastic stent (a small tube that helps bile flow) needs to be replaced. If you are having a stent put in to relieve jaundice, doctors want to learn how to reduce the need for repeat procedures.
This study tests a new surgical method to remove stones from the gallbladder and bile duct at the same time using tiny incisions and a small tube. It may help people with both conditions avoid a second procedure and recover faster.
This study tests whether a new drainage method can help prevent acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) in people who need a bile duct procedure. If you are at risk for gallbladder issues, this approach might reduce complications.
This study is testing a tool to predict survival after gallbladder removal for people with acute cholecystitis caused by gallstones. By joining, you help doctors better assess risk and improve care for future patients.
This study compares different ways to manage sudden gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) in patients who are moderately or severely ill, to see which treatments lead to better recovery. It helps doctors learn the best approach for your situation.
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.
