Recruiting studies
- NCT06250803Recruiting
Early pancreatic stent for PEP prevention
This trial tests placing a small plastic tube (stent) in your pancreatic duct early during ERCP to try to prevent pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It’s for people having their first ERCP to get into their bile duct.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07517627Recruiting

Better Heart Monitoring During Sedation for Digestive Procedures
This study compares two ways of monitoring your heart and vital signs during a sedated procedure to examine your digestive tract (ERCP). Researchers want to see if more detailed monitoring helps keep you safer during the procedure.
ÇorumAges 18 years+ - NCT05667987Recruiting
Lidocaine to help prevent pancreas inflammation after ERCP
This study tests whether giving lidocaine during an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of a painful complication called pancreatitis. If you’re scheduled for ERCP with a “never-treated” opening, this trial may see if lidocaine helps you avoid post-procedure pancreas inflammation.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05761483Recruiting
Endoscopic treatment for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This trial tests an endoscopic (camera-based) approach to treat bile duct narrowing that happens after a liver transplant. It may help improve bile flow and liver blood test results when the narrowing is in the bile duct area near where the liver’s bile ducts split.
Roma, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT07117318Recruiting
NSAIDs with or without a pancreatic stent to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP
This trial tests whether using rectal NSAIDs (a type of painkiller) with or without a small tube (stent) in the pancreas can prevent pancreatitis after ERCP. It's for people who are at higher risk for this complication.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT06918626Recruiting
Comparing two bile duct stone removal approaches during gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two ways of checking for and removing stones from the main bile duct during gallbladder surgery. One method uses a special scope (SpyGlass) during the operation, and the other does an MRI first. The goal is to see which approach is better for people with gallstone-related inflammation of the gallbladder who might have stones in the bile duct.
Pavia, PaviaAges 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+ - NCT07413068Recruiting
Comparing treatments for gallstones and bile duct stones
This trial looks at three different ways to treat people who have both gallstones and stones in the bile duct. It aims to find which approach works best and with the fewest complications.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06107504Recruiting
Preventing bleeding after bile duct stone removal
This trial tests a medicine called sucralfate to see if it helps prevent bleeding after a procedure that removes bile duct stones. If you are having this procedure, you might be able to join.
Tainan, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–95 - 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 - NCT07738094Recruiting
Cold and NSAID therapy to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis
This trial tests if applying cold therapy or giving an NSAID (anti-inflammatory medication) before an ERCP can prevent pancreatitis, a common complication. It is for adults having their first ERCP.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT04259580Recruiting
Patient registry for ERCP procedures and related studies
This trial is a registry that collects information about adults who are having an ERCP procedure at the study site. It may help researchers better understand outcomes and improve care by tracking real-world results and possibly running smaller future studies.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05141916Recruiting
Testing the best way to evaluate suspected bile duct stones
This trial studies how doctors should best check and manage people with suspected bile duct stones. It may help improve the accuracy and safety of next-step testing and treatment.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136585RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two drugs to reverse muscle relaxants after ERCP
This trial compares two medications given to reverse the effects of muscle relaxants after an outpatient ERCP (a scope procedure). The goal is to see which drug works better and faster, which could help you wake up more comfortably.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07051980RecruitingPhase 2
Oxygen through a tube above the voice box for sedated ERCP
This study tests a new way to deliver oxygen during a sedated ERCP, using a thin tube placed above the voice box instead of a breathing tube. It aims to see if this method is safe and practical for people having this procedure.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07071441Recruiting
Indomethacin vs Diclofenac before ERCP to prevent pancreatitis
This study compares two common NSAID medications (indomethacin and diclofenac) given before an ERCP procedure to see if one is better at preventing pancreatitis, a common complication. If you are having an ERCP and meet the health criteria, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07083063RecruitingPhase 4
Using Nitroglycerin to Prevent Pancreatitis After ERCP
This study tests if spraying nitroglycerin into the bile duct during an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after the procedure. It is for people who need to have gallstones removed from their main bile duct.
