Cold water rinse during ERCP to lower pancreatitis risk
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests if flushing the bile duct opening with ice-cold water during a procedure called ERCP can reduce the chance of developing pancreatitis afterward. The procedure is done to treat bile duct blockages, and this simple step might help prevent a common complication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are scheduled to have a procedure called an endoscopic sphincterotomy, which is part of an 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 trial tests whether a drug called tacrolimus can reduce the risk of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after a procedure called ERCP, which is used to diagnose and treat problems in the bile ducts or pancreas. If you are scheduled for an ERCP, this study may help prevent a common complication.
This trial tests whether rinsing the pancreas with cold water during ERCP can reduce the risk of pancreatitis, a common complication. The treatment is added to the standard medicine (indomethacin) to see if it offers extra protection.
This study tests whether adding ice water irrigation to standard rectal indomethacin reduces the risk of inflammation of the pancreas after ERCP, a procedure that examines the bile and pancreatic ducts. It may help prevent a painful complication.
This study tests whether combining a rectal anti-inflammatory medication (indomethacin) with cold water cooling of the pancreas opening during an endoscopic procedure can better prevent pancreatitis—a painful inflammation of the pancreas—compared to medication alone.
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).
