About this study

Official title: Prevention of Delayed Post-sphincterotomy Bleeding by High Dose Proton Pump Inhibitor

Endoscopic biliary sphincterotomy is a common and important procedure for biliary access and therapy during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Bleeding is one of the important complications related to sphincterotomy. This study determines the role of proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in preventing post-sphincterotomy bleeding in patients undergoing ERCP and sphincterotomy.

Read the detailed description

Eligible patients will be randomized to receive either high dose PPI or standard care. PPI will be given before ERCP and continue for one week after the sphincterotomy.

Both overt and occult bleeding will be documented up to 10 days after the sphincterotomy. Bleeding rates of the two groups will be compared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Esomeprazole in people with Bleeding and ERCP, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site 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 7 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 18 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Proportion of patients with bleeding after sphincterotomy (time frame: 10 days). 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 18 Jul 2016.
