New drainage procedure could prevent gallbladder attacks without surgery
NCT ID NCT07655778
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether a procedure called EUS-guided gallbladder drainage can prevent future gallbladder attacks in people who are too sick or frail for surgery. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the drainage procedure or standard medical care. The study will track how many people in each group have a new gallbladder-related event over one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
EUS-guided gallbladder drainage with lumen-apposing metal stent
What this could lead to
If effective, this procedure could offer a non-surgical option to prevent recurrent gallbladder attacks in people who cannot undergo surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, early-stage trial, and the procedure carries risks such as bleeding, infection, or stent migration. It may not prove superior to conservative care.
