Clinical Trial: Comparison of a Short Modified Metal Stent Versus Plastic Stent as a Bridge to Surgery in Pancreatic Cancer With Malignant Biliary Obstruction

U.S., May 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07606430) titled 'Comparison of a Short Modified Metal Stent Versus Plastic Stent as a Bridge to Surgery in Pancreatic Cancer With Malignant Biliary Obstruction' on May 06.

Brief Summary: This study is a multicenter, randomized clinical trial designed to compare the effectiveness and safety of a modified 8-mm fully covered self-expandable metal stent (FCSEMS) with a conventional plastic stent for preoperative biliary drainage in patients with pancreatic cancer and malignant biliary obstruction.
