Pancreatic duct stent for early acute pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis, confirmed by your doctor using standard criteria.
- Your pancreatitis is moderate or severe, meaning it has caused organ failure (like problems with your kidneys, lungs, or heart).
- You are willing to give informed consent to participate.
- You have not had prior surgery on the papilla (the opening where the bile and pancreatic ducts meet the intestine) and do not have certain other conditions of that area.
- You are not pregnant, not in shock, and do not have serious bleeding or clotting problems.

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 ways to prevent pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after removing a growth at the duodenal papilla (where the bile duct opens into the small intestine). One method uses a small tube to drain fluids, and the other places a tiny stent to keep the duct open. The goal is to find which approach causes fewer complications during recovery.
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 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.
