Stent vs standard care for early severe pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares placing a small plastic drain (stent) in your pancreas duct versus usual care for people with severe acute pancreatitis that is starting to cause organ failure. The goal is to see if the stent helps you heal faster and prevents complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis (sudden pancreas inflammation).
- Your pancreatitis is considered moderate or severe because it is causing organ problems like trouble breathing or kidney issues.
- You are able to give permission to be in the study.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have any other reason that would require a different scope procedure on the same spot (like a gallstone blocking the pancreas opening).
- You do not have a bleeding disorder that raises your risk too much.

This study looks at whether an upper endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach and the first part of your small intestine) done within 24-48 hours of being admitted to the hospital can help guide treatment for acute pancreatitis. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a confirmed case of acute pancreatitis and are able to safely undergo this procedure.
This study compares two types of stents (plastic vs. metal) to see which works better for treating bile duct narrowing caused by chronic pancreatitis. If you have a bile duct blockage from chronic pancreatitis, you may be eligible.
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 trial compares two methods to prevent pancreatitis after endoscopic removal of duodenal papillary tumors. It tests whether using a negative-pressure drain tube is better than placing a stent in the pancreatic duct.
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 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.
