What is being measured

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

  1. Acute Pancreatitis

    If the serum amylase of patients elevation and 3 times higher than the normal values after ERCP 24 hours, patients also have clinical symptoms, without other acute abdominal diseases,such as gastrointestinal perforation,acute cholecystitia and acute cholangitis and etc. In this condition, it will be defined PEP (post-ERCP pancreatitis).

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The prophylaxis effect of pentoxifylline on post-ERCP pancreatitis in higher risk patients

    If the serum amylase of patients elevation and 3 times higher than the normal values after ERCP 24 hours in high risk patients, who also have clinical symptoms, without other acute abdominal diseases,such as gastrointestinal perforation,acute cholecystitia and acute cholangitis and etc. In this condition, it will be defined PEP(post-ERCP pancreatitis).

    Measured: 24 hours

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Shao Feng, MD (8613033090788, tagsmile1985@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Acute Pancreatitis (time frame: 24 hours). 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 14 Dec 2016.
