Stent to help prevent pancreatitis after endoscopy
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a temporary, biodegradable stent to lower the chance of getting pancreatitis after an ERCP endoscopy procedure. It may help people who are considered at higher risk, by trying to prevent this complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be scheduled for an ERCP endoscopy (or otherwise considered at higher risk for pancreatitis after it)
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- You should not have been newly diagnosed with acute pancreatitis within the past month
- You must be able to safely have an endoscopy (no medical reason to avoid it)
- You should not have an allergy or strong reaction to indomethacin

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.
This study compares indomethacin (an anti-inflammatory medicine) against using a temporary pancreatic stent to prevent pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. It may help you lower the chance of painful inflammation of the pancreas after ERCP.
This study tests whether placing a small tube (prosthesis) in the pancreas before removing gallbladder and bile duct stones during ERCP can prevent pancreatitis. It is for people with small gallbladder stones and bile duct stones who are at higher risk for pancreatitis after the procedure.
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.
This trial looks at how often a small pancreatic stent (a plastic tube placed during an ERCP procedure) dislodges or causes problems. It may help patients who are getting a stent to prevent pancreatitis.
This study tests a new type of stent that dissolves over time for the bile or pancreatic duct. It aims to see if the stent is safe and works well.
