Early pancreatic stent for PEP prevention
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a papilla (the opening where bile and pancreatic juices enter your intestine) that hasn't been cut or treated before.
- You are 18 or older.
- You are scheduled for an ERCP procedure where a guidewire goes through the bile duct.
- You do not currently have acute pancreatitis (a sudden, painful inflammation of your pancreas).
- You do not have severe active heart or lung disease.

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 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 trial tests whether giving extra IV fluids before, during, and after an ERCP procedure can help prevent a common complication called post-ERCP pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). If you are scheduled for an ERCP, you may be eligible to participate.
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 trial tests whether placing a small tube (stent) in the pancreatic duct during an early stage of acute pancreatitis helps you recover better than the usual treatment without a stent. The goal is to see if the stent reduces complications and improves outcomes for people with moderate to severe pancreatitis.
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.
