Cold water flush to prevent pancreatitis after bile duct procedure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether flushing the bile duct opening with ice-cold water after a routine procedure can lower the risk of pancreatitis. It's for adults who are already scheduled for a sphincterotomy to help bile flow.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a procedure called endoscopic sphincterotomy to open the bile duct.
- You do not have current or past pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
- You do not have pancreatic cancer.
- You can understand and agree to participate in the study.

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 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 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 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 tests whether giving IV (through-the-vein) fluids during/around an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of painful pancreas inflammation afterward. It may help patients by reducing a common complication after ERCP.
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.
