New study compares two drainage techniques to ease jaundice in advanced cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06375967
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures to drain blocked bile ducts in patients with incurable cancer. One method drains the bile duct into the intestine, the other drains the gallbladder into the stomach. The goal is to see which approach causes fewer complications and keeps the bile flowing longer. The trial involves 128 palliative patients and is currently on hold.
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 (DPPS)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify the safer and more effective drainage method for relieving jaundice in patients with incurable bile duct or pancreatic cancer.
What could go wrong
This trial is currently suspended, and it only includes palliative patients, so results may not apply to earlier-stage disease. Both procedures carry risks like infection or stent blockage.
