Antibiotic during ERCP for bile duct infection
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving an antibiotic directly into the bile duct during an ERCP procedure helps treat acute cholangitis better than standard care. If you have mild or moderate cholangitis and are scheduled for ERCP within 48 hours, you may be a candidate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether having bacteria in your bile affects how often a plastic stent (a small tube that helps bile flow) needs to be replaced. If you are having a stent put in to relieve jaundice, doctors want to learn how to reduce the need for repeat procedures.
This study tests whether a new drainage method can help prevent acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) in people who need a bile duct procedure. If you are at risk for gallbladder issues, this approach might reduce complications.
This trial studies how doctors should best check and manage people with suspected bile duct stones. It may help improve the accuracy and safety of next-step testing and treatment.
This trial looks at whether a specific small procedure during ERCP helps doctors reach and drain the bile duct when gallstones or bile duct narrowing are suspected. It may help people avoid getting stuck during the procedure and improve how successfully the bile duct can be reached.
This study tests if giving antibiotics (levofloxacin or gentamicin) directly into the lungs during a bronchoscopy can help patients with bronchiectasis who are in the hospital with a sudden worsening of symptoms or are on a breathing machine.
This trial tests whether taking preventive antibiotics can help people with certain liver conditions avoid infections after an endoscopy-related procedure. It may reduce infection risk, but it also requires that you have no signs of infection and haven’t recently taken antibiotics.
