First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will follow 220 patients with benign gallbladder diseases who cannot have surgery. It compares two non-surgical approaches: endoscopic drainage with possible stone removal versus traditional drainage alone. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer complications and better long-term outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Endoscopic gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) with possible stone removal
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that endoscopic drainage with stone removal is safer and more effective than long-term drainage alone, helping high-risk patients avoid surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may be less definitive. The procedures carry risks like bleeding, infection, or bile leak.
