Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who have difficulty with bile flow due to a specific type of cancer. Participants will have a type of stent placed and will be monitored over 12 months to see how well it works.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
- I am 19 years or older.
- I have been diagnosed with unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction.
- I have undergone percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).

About This Trial
Metallic stents are commonly used for biliary drainage in patients with unresectable malignant distal biliary obstruction. However, it is unclear whether a 12-mm partially covered self-expandable metallic stent or a 12-mm bare self-expandable metallic stent provides better effectiveness and safety. This prospective, randomized clinical trial will compare these two stent types in adult patients who…
