Trial summary

Rectal indomethacin and pancreatic duct (PD) stenting (PDS) are recommended for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). However, the effects of the combination of the two methods on preventing PEP are controversial. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Combination of Rectal Indomethacin and Pancreatic Duct Stenting Versus Indomethacin Alone in Preventing Post-ERCP Pancreatitis in Patients With Difficult Cannulation

Rectal indomethacin and pancreatic duct (PD) stenting (PDS) are recommended for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). However, the effects of the combination of the two methods on preventing PEP are controversial. We hypothesized that some group of patients with difficult cannulation might benefit from the combination of indomethacin plus PDS (IP) compared with indomethacin alone (IN).

What participants receive

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

  • Pancreatic duct stentingDevice

    A stent placed in the pancreatic duct to reduce PEP possibly by relieving pancreatic ductal hypertension that develops because of transient procedure-induced edema and stenosis of the pancreatic orifice

Study groups in NCT04340687
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IP groupAll patients recevied pancreatic duct stent during ERCP and one single dose of 100mg rectal indomethacin after ERCP.
Receives: Device: Pancreatic duct stenting
IN groupAll patients received one single dose of 100mg rectal indomethacin after ERCP.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall PEP

    PEP was diagnosed if there was a worsening or new onset of pain in the upper abdomen, an elevation in serum amylase of at least three times of the upper limit of the normal range 24h after the procedure and requiring at least two nights of hospitalization.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall ERCP related complication

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Healthy, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 9 Apr 2020. 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. 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?

Overall PEP (time frame: 30 days). 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 NCT04340687, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 9 Apr 2020.
