Study of causes of pancreatitis after ERCP
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how genes and medication processing in the body may relate to getting pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. If you are having an ERCP and meet the criteria, your data and possibly samples may help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Be able and willing to sign informed consent
- Be scheduled to have an ERCP procedure
- Do not have pancreatic cancer
- Do not have chronic pancreatitis or currently have acute pancreatitis
- Your anatomy must be typical enough for bile/pancreatic juices to reach the small intestine through the usual opening

This study looks at ways to improve the quality of ERCP, a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera to look at the bile and pancreatic ducts. It is open to adults who can understand the study information and are having their first ERCP during this hospital stay.
This trial tests if giving fluids before an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of developing pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It may help people who have not had this procedure before.
This Phase 3 study tests whether putting an anti-inflammatory medicine into the rectum (indomethacin) plus taking an immune-suppressing pill (tacrolimus) works better than using the two medicines in a different combination to prevent pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. If you qualify, you may be assigned to one of the treatment options to lower your risk of post-ERCP pancreas inflammation.
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.
This study tests whether a procedure called ERCP can help find and treat the cause of recurrent pancreatitis that remains unexplained after standard tests.
This study collects samples like blood or tissue from children with pancreatitis to look for gene changes that might raise their risk. It helps doctors learn more about why some children get pancreas inflammation.
