New stent study aims to ease bile duct blockage in pancreatic cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07606430
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a newer, shorter metal stent works better than a standard plastic stent for opening blocked bile ducts in people with pancreatic cancer who need surgery. About 116 adults with operable or locally advanced pancreatic cancer and high bilirubin levels will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two stents. The goal is to see which stent causes fewer problems that require another procedure before surgery.
