National study on post-ERCP pancreatitis prevention
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is studying how often pancreatitis happens after a common bile duct procedure called ERCP, and how a standard safety protocol might help prevent it. It aims to include people who need a therapeutic ERCP (treatment, not just diagnosis) to learn more about safe practices.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You need to understand the study and sign a consent form.
- You must be having a therapeutic ERCP (a procedure to treat a bile duct problem).
- Your bile duct opening (papilla) must not have been previously cut (intact papilla).
- You cannot have active pancreatitis at the start.

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 how genes and medication processing in the body may relate to getting pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. If you are having an ERCP and meet the criteria, your data and possibly samples may help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This trial tests if giving fluids before an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of developing pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It may help people who have not had this procedure before.
This study looks at ways to improve the quality of ERCP, a procedure that uses a flexible tube with a camera to look at the bile and pancreatic ducts. It is open to adults who can understand the study information and are having their first ERCP during this hospital stay.
This study tests whether giving lidocaine during an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of a painful complication called pancreatitis. If you’re scheduled for ERCP with a “never-treated” opening, this trial may see if lidocaine helps you avoid post-procedure pancreas inflammation.
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.
