About this study

Official title: Reactions to Contrast Media (CM) Administered at the Time of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

The aim of this study is to prospectively document the incidence of CM adverse reactions at the time of ERCP and to determine whether various perceived risk factors are predictive of adverse reaction.

Adverse reactions to iodine containing contrast media (CM) have been described after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) but have been difficult to study due to their extremely low incidence. Adverse reactions can be classified by severity (mild, moderate or severe) or underlying mechanism (idiosyncratic versus nonidiosyncratic). Nonidiosyncratic reactions are related to the dose and osmolality of the CM; these are not observed during ERCP due to the relative small amount of systemic absorption of CM. Idiosyncratic reactions on the other hand are not dose-dependent and generally occur shortly after administration of CM.

Premedication with corticosteroids, H1/H2 -blockers and the use of low osmolality CM is beneficial in preventing nonidiosyncratic reactions during intravascular administration. However their role in during ERCP is unclear as CM is not injected into the intravascular space. Currently there are no formal recommendations and clinical practice varies considerably. The general purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of CM reactions during ERCP and to determine whether various risk factors are predictive of idiosyncratic reactions. Based on these results, we hope to develop guidelines for the use of prophylaxis to prevent CM reactions in ERCP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Contrast Allergies, run by University of Florida at 1 site in United States.

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 16 Mar 2017. 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 United States. 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?

Determine the incidence of adverse reactions to CM administered during ERCP in patients with prior reaction to IV CM administration and/or shellfish allergy. (time frame: at the time of the subjects ERCP). 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 16 Mar 2017.
