NCT ID NCT05893511
First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tests whether a procedure called endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) works better than starting with antibiotics for people with mild to moderate gallbladder inflammation who are too frail for surgery. About 110 high-risk adults will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The main goal is to see if EUS-GBD reduces the chance of another gallbladder attack within a year.
