Choledocholithiasis clinical trials and research
As of November 12, 2026, Find a Trial lists 12 Choledocholithiasis clinical trials that are recruiting, at sites in 11 countries (most in India (2), United States (1), Pakistan (1)). By phase: Phase 4 (1), Phase 2 (1). Every study is explained in plain English. Data from ClinicalTrials.gov and NIH RePORTER, updated November 12, 2026.

-
Hyoscine Butylbromide During Transcystic Papillary Balloon Dilation for Choledocholithiasis
This study tests whether giving hyoscine butylbromide during laparoscopic transcystic papillary balloon dilation helps patients with common bile duct stones by making the procedure faster or easier.
-
Holmium laser versus electrohydraulic lithotripsy for difficult bile duct and pancreatic duct stones
This will test whether a low-power holmium laser works and is as safe as electrohydraulic lithotripsy for adults with large or hard-to-remove bile duct or pancreatic duct stones.
-
Intraductal antibiotic given during ERCP for acute cholangitis
This trial tests whether putting an antibiotic directly into the bile ducts during ERCP, together with standard IV antibiotics, helps adults with mild-to-moderate acute cholangitis recover faster and avoid worsening infection compared with IV antibiotics alone.
-
Comparing the carbon footprint of endoscopic ultrasound versus MRCP for suspected common bile duct stones
This project will test whether endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) produces a smaller carbon footprint than MRCP when used to check for common bile duct (CBD) stones in adults with intermediate risk.
-
Early versus late laparoscopic gallbladder removal after clearing common bile duct stones with ERCP
This trial will test whether having your gallbladder removed soon after ERCP or waiting longer gives better outcomes for people who had stones cleared from their common bile duct.
-
One-stage laparoendoscopic approach for gallbladder and common bile duct stones
This trial tests whether a single-operation laparoendoscopic 'rendezvous' approach—combining laparoscopic gallbladder removal with endoscopic bile duct clearance—works safely and effectively for patients with both gallbladder and common bile duct stones.
-
Gallbladder removal versus watchful waiting after bile duct stone removal in older adults
This trial tests whether immediate laparoscopic gallbladder removal or a wait-and-see approach is better for older patients after their common bile duct stones have been removed by ERCP.
-
Evaluating treatment for asymptomatic common bile duct stones
This study is testing how well treating asymptomatic common bile duct stones works compared to not treating them at all, to help doctors decide the best way to manage these cases.
-
Machine learning to reduce extra imaging (EUS or MRCP) for people with suspected common bile duct stones
This project will test whether a machine-learning tool can identify which adults with an intermediate chance of common bile duct stones can safely skip EUS or MRCP.
-
Improving evaluation and management of patients with suspected bile duct stones
This study is testing a new way to improve how doctors check for and treat patients who might have stones in their bile duct.
-
Comparing two techniques for accessing the bile duct in patients with biliary diseases
This study is testing two different methods for accessing the bile duct to see which one works better for patients with biliary diseases like cholangiocarcinoma and choledocholithiasis.
-
Comparing ERCP with and without Gall Bladder Drainage
This study is testing if adding gallbladder drainage to a common procedure for bile duct stones can help older patients avoid complications better than just the procedure alone.

Quick answers
How many Choledocholithiasis clinical trials are recruiting right now?
12, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.
Where are these trials running?
In 11 countries. The most sites are in India (2 trials), United States (1 trial), Pakistan (1 trial), Malaysia (1 trial), Latvia (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.
What phases are they in?
Phase 4: 1, Phase 2: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.
How do I join one?
Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
