Studying a small tube to prevent pancreas pain after ERCP
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having an ERCP procedure, which is a test to look at and treat problems in your bile or pancreas ducts.
- You are willing to have a small plastic tube (called a stent) placed in your pancreas during the ERCP.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had a severe form of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after a previous ERCP.
- You have not had a surgery called Billroth II, which changes the way your stomach and intestines are connected.

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 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 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 is looking at whether following a standard set of steps can lower the chances of a common complication after a procedure called ERCP, which is used to examine and treat problems in the bile ducts. The procedure involves inserting a thin tube through your mouth to reach the area, and the study aims to improve safety and reduce post-procedure pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
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 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.
