Disposable scope could cut infection risk in ERCP
NCT ID NCT05225909
First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 32 times
Summary
This study tested a new single-use duodenoscope (aScope) in 59 patients at high risk of infection after ERCP, a procedure to treat bile duct problems. The goal was to see if the scope works well and to gather information on costs and complications. The results could help decide if single-use scopes are a good option to prevent infections from contaminated reusable scopes.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
single-use duodenoscope (aScope)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that single-use scopes are a safe and effective option to reduce infection risk after ERCP.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study with only 59 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not directly compare infection rates with reusable scopes.
