NSAIDs with or without a pancreatic stent to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using rectal NSAIDs (a type of painkiller) with or without a small tube (stent) in the pancreas can prevent pancreatitis after ERCP. It's for people who are at higher risk for this complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 90 years old and planning to have an ERCP procedure.
- You have a higher risk of pancreatitis after ERCP (for example, if you've had it before, or if the procedure is expected to be difficult).
- You have not already had a cut or balloon stretch of your bile duct opening.
- You are not allergic to NSAIDs (like ibuprofen or naproxen), and haven't taken them in the last week.
- You do not have active pancreatitis, kidney problems, or a bleeding disorder, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

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 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 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 if applying cold therapy or giving an NSAID (anti-inflammatory medication) before an ERCP can prevent pancreatitis, a common complication. It is for adults having their first ERCP.
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.
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.
