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

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 looks at a small plastic tube placed in the pancreas during an ERCP procedure to see if it helps prevent a painful complication called post-ERCP pancreatitis. It aims to understand if the tube stays in place and if it causes any problems.
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 study is looking at whether following a standard set of steps can lower the chances of a common complication after a procedure called ERCP, which is used to examine and treat problems in the bile ducts. The procedure involves inserting a thin tube through your mouth to reach the area, and the study aims to improve safety and reduce post-procedure pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
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.
