Recruiting studies
- NCT04490031RecruitingPhase 4
Ketamine sedation for ERCP procedure
This trial tests whether using ketamine as a sleep/sedation medicine during ERCP (a scope procedure to check/clear bile or pancreatic ducts) is safe and effective. If you’re scheduled for ERCP and can consent, this study may help doctors improve sedation options for patients like you.
Bandar Tun Razak, Kuala LumpurAges 16 years+ - NCT07074379Recruiting
Treatments for painless chronic pancreatitis
This study tests whether a procedure using a scope (endotherapy) or shock waves to break up stones can help people with painless chronic pancreatitis who have not had these treatments before.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT06716541Recruiting
Biodegradable stent for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This study is testing a special temporary stent that breaks down over time to help open a narrowed bile duct after a liver transplant. It may help avoid long-term plastic stents or additional surgery.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06776874Recruiting
Predicting risks after an ERCP procedure
This observational study looks at patients who need an ERCP (a scope procedure for the bile ducts, liver, or pancreas). The goal is to create a score that can predict side effects after the procedure, which may help doctors better manage care.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07611903Recruiting
Oxygen delivery methods during endoscopy procedure
This trial compares two different ways of delivering oxygen through your nose during an endoscopy procedure (ERCP, which examines your bile ducts and pancreas). The study tests whether one method keeps your oxygen levels safer or more comfortable than the other.
Kocaeli, UmuttepeAges 18–84 - NCT07691580Recruiting
Study of forces during ERCP
This study measures the physical forces doctors apply during an ERCP procedure. It aims to understand how different techniques affect the procedure's success and safety.
Amiens, PicardieAges 18 years+ - NCT06964425Recruiting
Raman light test for bile duct cancer diagnosis
This study tests a special light technique (Raman spectroscopy) to see if it can help diagnose cancer in the bile ducts outside the liver. It could be an option for people already needing an ERCP procedure.
Olomouc, Olomouc RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT07017283Recruiting
Comparing two sedation methods for older adults having ERCP
This study compares two ways of keeping you comfortable and safe during an ERCP procedure: deeper sedation with a breathing tube versus deep sedation without a breathing tube. It aims to find which method causes fewer side effects in older adults.
Hangzhou, ZhijiangAges 60 years+ - NCT07330284Recruiting
Cold water rinse to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP
This trial tests whether rinsing the pancreas with cold water during ERCP can reduce the risk of pancreatitis, a common complication. The treatment is added to the standard medicine (indomethacin) to see if it offers extra protection.
Kansas City, KansasAges 20 years+ - NCT07490132Recruiting
Observational study of past ERCP procedures
This trial looks back at past ERCP records to study the procedure better. You may qualify if you had an ERCP since 2000 and were at least 15 years old.
Dallas, TexasAges 15 years+ - NCT06860984RecruitingPhase 3
Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Duloxetine in the Prevention of Post Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography Pancreatitis
This phase 3 trial tests duloxetine for preventing pancreatitis after ERCP in adults with normal baseline amylase/lipase and without certain comorbidities.
TantaAges 18–65 - NCT05246657Recruiting
EUS procedure to bypass blocked bile ducts when ERCP fails
This trial studies a new way to access the bile ducts using a scope guided by ultrasound when standard ERCP can’t be done or doesn’t work. It may help people with non-cancer (benign) bile duct blockages get the bile flowing again.
ValladolidAges 18 years+ - NCT04408482Recruiting
Pancreatic stent to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP procedure
This study looks at whether placing a small tube (a pancreatic stent) during an ERCP procedure can lower the chance of getting pancreatitis afterward. If you need a difficult ERCP with bile duct access, the results may help improve prevention of post-procedure pancreatitis.
HelsinkiAges 18–100 - NCT06861010RecruitingPhase 3
Ondansetron to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP
This trial tests whether ondansetron, a medicine that helps control nausea and vomiting, can reduce the risk of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after an ERCP procedure. If you are scheduled for an ERCP and do not have certain health issues, you may be able to join.
TantaAges 18–65 - NCT07007832Recruiting
Bile test to diagnose unclear bile duct narrowings
This trial uses a bile sample to help diagnose the cause of a bile duct stricture (a narrowing) that was not clearly identified by standard tests. It may help patients avoid more invasive procedures.
Shanghai, ChinaAges 18–90 - NCT07012772RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a new airway device for sedated ERCP
This trial tests a new breathing device (called a combo endoscopy oropharyngeal airway) to help keep your airway open during a sedated ERCP procedure. It may improve safety and comfort for people having this exam.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07211828Recruiting
Brain activity and pain signals during anesthesia study
This study looks at how opioids and sedatives affect brain activity and pain signals in patients getting anesthesia for an ERCP procedure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 17 recruiting endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
