NCT ID NCT05141916

First seen May 03, 2026 · Last updated May 03, 2026

Summary

This study looks at better ways to diagnose common bile duct stones, which can be dangerous if missed. Researchers will check if changes in liver enzyme levels can help decide who truly needs a procedure called ERCP. The goal is to avoid unnecessary ERCPs, which carry risks, especially for patients at intermediate risk. About 2000 adults with suspected bile duct stones will be included.
