About this study

Official title: Antibiotic Prophylaxis for ERCP: a Comparison of Intravenous Ceftriaxone With Intravenous Moxifloxacin in the Prophylaxis of Cholangitis

Background and aims: The use of prophylactic antibiotics before endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is recommended by all major international gastroenterological societies, especially in the presence of an obstructed biliary system. Their use is intended to decrease or eliminate the incidence of complications following the procedure, namely cholangitis, cholecystitis, septicemia, and pancreatitis. However, there were a few reports concerning the dosage, duration and adopting antibiotics most suitable for this purpose. The aim of this prospective comparative study is to compare the occurrence rate of post-procedural complications, such as cholangitis, bacteremia and septicemia between intravenous moxifloxacin and ceftriaxone for the prophylactic use in patients with bile duct obstruction who will undergo therapeutic ERCP procedure.

Methods: In this prospective study, a total of 160 patients (calculated by IBM SPSS Sample Power, version 3.0) with bile duct obstruction due to variable causes (bile duct stones, benign or malignant stricture, etc) will be enrolled and randomly allocated to intravenous moxifloxacin and ceftriaxone group, respectively (using simple randomization program). Intravenous moxifloxacin (400 mg/day, infused more than 60 min) or ceftriaxone (2 g/day, diluted in 40 cc of 5% dextrose water, infused more than 30 min) will be given 90 minutes before ERCP procedure, and will be given to a patient for more than 3 days if the patient develops symptoms and signs of cholangitis or septicemia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Moxifloxacin and ceftriaxone in people with Cholangitis, run by Kangbuk Samsung Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 24 Feb 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 South Korea. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

cholangitis (time frame: 3 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 24 Feb 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
