New study tests if removing stents earlier prevents fluid return after pancreatic necrosis treatment
NCT ID NCT07307248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial compares removing a metal stent at 2 weeks (with a plastic stent placed) versus the usual 4 weeks (without a plastic stent) in adults with walled-off pancreatic necrosis. The goal is to see if earlier removal lowers the chance of fluid collections coming back or needing another procedure. About 408 participants will be followed for 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- lumen-apposing metal stent (LAMS) and double-pigtail plastic stent (DPT)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a safer, more effective drainage procedure for walled-off pancreatic necrosis, reducing the chance of fluid coming back.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 408 participants, so results may not apply everywhere. The early removal approach could increase complications like bleeding or infection.
