Short-stay IV fluids to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are having an ERCP procedure (a test that looks at your bile and pancreatic ducts).
- You do not have severe heart failure, which would make extra fluids unsafe.
- You do not have severe kidney disease (your kidney function is very low).
- You have not had major surgery that changed your stomach or intestine anatomy.
- You are not pregnant, do not have acute or chronic pancreatitis (unless the ERCP is to treat your pancreatic duct), and do not have certain other conditions.

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 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.
This trial is testing whether higher doses of a common anti-inflammatory drug (indomethacin) given as a suppository can better prevent pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure in people who are at high risk for this complication.
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 study tests if spraying nitroglycerin into the bile duct during an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) after the procedure. It is for people who need to have gallstones removed from their main bile duct.
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.
