Trial summary

Pancreatitis remains the most common complication of ERCP, with the reported incidence ranging from 2% to 9%. Although 80% of cases are mild, a significant number of patients may develop severe pancreatitis, that means additional morbidity and risk for death. Read more about this study

About this study

Pancreatitis remains the most common complication of ERCP, with the reported incidence ranging from 2% to 9%. Although 80% of cases are mild, a significant number of patients may develop severe pancreatitis, that means additional morbidity and risk for death. ERCP, despite the development of new diagnostic tools, remains a widely used procedure, so post-ERCP pancreatitis is a problem with significant impact. Several studies and meta-analyses helped us to recognize special factors that put an individual in high risk for the development of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Among these factors special interest presents the history of post-ERCP pancreatitis as an independent risk factor for a new episode of post-ERCP pancreatitis. It seems that some individuals have a genetically predisposed susceptibility in this particular complication. The aim of the present study is to investigate the possible genetic variation associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis using whole genome sequencing.

Read the detailed description

This study includes patients who are at high risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Blood samples will be gathered to investigate the possible genetic variation associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis using whole genome sequencing. DNA for whole genome sequencing will be extracted using DNA extraction kit (Qiagen Inc., Hinden, Germany) and the concentration \& purity of DNA will be measured using Nanodrop (Nano Drop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA) or fluorometric quantitation(Qubit fluorometer). Genetic variations which are associated with acute pancreatitis will be searched using whole genome sequencing. Post-ERCP pancreatitis is the primary outcome. Medical records and data of genetic variations will be reviewed for identifying possible risk factors and genetic variations associated with post-ERCP pancreatitis.

What participants receive

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

  • ERCPProcedure or surgery

    Two expert endoscopists will perform ERCP. Patients will be sedated with midazolam(2-5mg) and pethidine(25-50mg) with careful monitoring. Duodenoscope (TJF-240 or TJF-260; Olympus Corp., Tokyo, Japan) will be used. Cholangiography or pancreatography will be gathered after selective bile duct or pancreatic duct cannulation. Therapy such as endoscopic sphincterotomy, stent insertion, and etc., will be done.

    Measured: 24 hours after ERCP

  2. hyperamylasemia without symptom

    amylase at least 3 x normal > 24h after ERCP, no abdominal pain

    Measured: 24 hours after ERCP

  3. Length of stay

    Duration of hospitalization

    Measured: 3mo

  4. Mortality

    mortality

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Acute Pancreatitis, run by Seoul National University 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 9 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 Nov 2022. 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.

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?

Post-ERCP pancreatitis (time frame: 24 hours after ERCP). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02928718, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Nov 2022.
