New scope may spot bile duct cancer faster
NCT ID NCT07620080
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two devices (EYEMAX and SPYGLASS) used to take tissue samples from the bile duct to diagnose cancer. About 120 adults with bile duct narrowing will be randomly assigned to one device. The goal is to see which tool gives more accurate cancer diagnoses.
