Low-Dose vs Standard-Dose Indomethacin for Pancreatitis Prevention After ERCP
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares a low dose of indomethacin (a pain reliever) with the standard dose to see if it works just as well for preventing pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after an ERCP procedure. It may reduce side effects while still protecting your pancreas.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are scheduled to have an ERCP procedure (a scope to look at bile ducts).
- You are not allergic to NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or aspirin).
- You have not taken any NSAID in the week before ERCP.
- You do not have recent stomach bleeding, kidney problems, or a bleeding disorder.
- You do not have acute pancreatitis (sudden severe pancreas inflammation) within the last 3 days.

This study tests giving indomethacin (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) through the rectum in different doses to people having an ERCP (a procedure to look at bile and pancreas tubes), aiming to prevent a common complication called post-ERCP pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). You may join if you are at high risk for this complication and meet the other health requirements.
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 a rectal dose of indomethacin (an anti-inflammatory drug) can help prevent complications after an ERCP. It is for people who have already had a sphincterotomy and are having another ERCP to treat bile duct issues.
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 compares two common NSAID medications (indomethacin and diclofenac) given before an ERCP procedure to see if one is better at preventing pancreatitis, a common complication. If you are having an ERCP and meet the health criteria, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding ice water irrigation to standard rectal indomethacin reduces the risk of inflammation of the pancreas after ERCP, a procedure that examines the bile and pancreatic ducts. It may help prevent a painful complication.
