Pancreatic stent to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP procedure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are having an ERCP to access the common bile duct (CBD) for a bile-duct reason
- Your papilla is “naïve,” meaning this is your first time with this area (no prior procedures there)
- You do not have acute pancreatitis right now
- You are able and willing to sign consent for the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 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 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 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.
This trial is studying how often pancreatitis happens after a common bile duct procedure called ERCP, and how a standard safety protocol might help prevent it. It aims to include people who need a therapeutic ERCP (treatment, not just diagnosis) to learn more about safe practices.
