New stent aims to cut infections and hospital visits for kidney and cancer patients
NCT ID NCT06815120
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new type of ureteric stent designed to cause fewer blockages, infections, and less pain than standard stents. About 50 adults who have had stents before for kidney stones or cancer will try the new stent. The goal is to see if it reduces complications and the need for extra procedures.
