About this study

Official title: Drotaverine Hydrochloride Versus Hyoscine-N-butylbromide for Duodenal Antimotility During ERCP: a Prospective, Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of drotaverine hydrochloride versus hyoscine-N-butylbromide in reducing duodenal motility during diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP.

Read the detailed description

ERCP is an important endoscopic technique in the diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic and biliary diseases. Duodenal peristalsis can make cannulation of the papilla and the necessary therapeutic procedures difficult. Intravenous hyoscine-N-butylbromide is often used during ERCP to inhibit duodenal motility and enhance cannulation in China. However, the pharmaceutical agent is occasionally associated with serious complications such as cardiovascular events or anaphylactic shock. Hyoscine-N-butylbromide may also affect the ocular, urinary, and salivary systems.

Drotaverine hydrochloride is an analogue of papaverine with smooth muscle relaxant properties. It is a non-anticholinergic antispasmodic, which selectively inhibits phosphodiesterase IV and is accompanied by a mild calcium channel-blocking effect. Adverse effects with drotaverine hydrochloride, such as hypotension, vertigo, nausea, and palpitation, are mostly mild. It can be supposed that intravenous drotaverine hydrochloride might be a feasible antimotility alternative to intravenous hyoscine-N-butylbromide in ERCP. But there is no clear evidence to recommend the use of drotaverine hydrochloride as an antispasmodic during ERCP.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use of drotaverine hydrochloride versus hyoscine-N-butylbromide in reducing duodenal motility during diagnostic and therapeutic ERCP. The effects of drotaverine hydrochloride on facilitative cannulation and its adverse effects were also compared to hyoscine-N-butylbromide.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Drotaverine hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called No-spa

    Drotaverine hydrochloride 40mg was administered intravenously 15 minutes before ERCP

  • Hyoscine-N-butylbromideDrug

    Also called Scopolamine Butylbromide

    Hyoscine-N-butylbromide 20mg was administered intravenously 15 minutes before ERCP.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Grades of the Number of Duodenal Contractions

    a duodenal motility grade was determined as follows: 0 = no motility; 1 = less than five contractions/minute; 2 = 5 to 10/minute; 3 = 11 to 15/minute; 4 = continuous.

    Measured: Intra-procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cannulation Time

    Measured: Intra-procedure

  2. Percentage of Successful Selective Cannulation

    Measured: Intra-procedure

  3. Frequency of Post-ERCP Complications

    Measured: 48 hours after ERCP

  4. Side Effects

    Measured: Intra-procedure and 24 hours after ERCP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Drotaverine hydrochloride and Hyoscine-N-butylbromide in people with ERCP and Pancreatic Diseases, run by Changhai Hospital at 4 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Dec 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Grades of the Number of Duodenal Contractions (time frame: Intra-procedure). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Sep 2010.
