About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Randomized, Double-Blind Controlled Study of Topical Endoluminal Pancreatic Duct Lidocaine for Prevention of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis

The purpose of this study is to determine if lidocaine is effective in reducing the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis.

Read the detailed description

Post endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis is a common cause of morbidity for which there is no known pharmacologic prophylaxis. Post-ERCP pancreatitis is thought to be caused by several factors, including intraductal pressure, multiple duct injections with contrast, and neural arc reflexes. Lidocaine is a safe, inexpensive class IV antiarrhythmic that has topical anesthetic effects, inhibits trypsin activity, and may potentially prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis by injection directly into the pancreatic duct at the time of ERCP. Lidocaine has been shown to inhibit phospholipase A2, a key pancreatic enzyme, interrupt local arc reflexes to stop neuronal transmission, and to dampen GI tract mucosal reflexes to prevent high ductal pressure.

The key objective of this study is to determine if injection of lidocaine is beneficial in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis. Subjects will be randomized to study group or control group in an equal ratio. The physicians performing the ERCP will be unaware of the treatment group to which patients have been assigned. Study arm will receive contrast agent Diatrizoate 60% (5 ml) diluted with lidocaine 2% (5 ml) during ERCP. Control arm will receive contrast agent Diatrizoate 60% (5 ml) diluted with normal saline 0.9% (5 ml) during ERCP. Diatrizoate diluted with normal saline is the standard of care. Patients will be contacted 1 day and 1 week post-ERCP to assess for symptoms of pancreatitis.

What participants receive

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

  • Lidocaine HydrochlorideDrug

    1:1 combination of contrast dye Diatrizoate 60% (5 ml) diluted with lidocaine 2% (5 ml) used at ERCP. Lidocaine will only be used once, and thus a maximum dose of 100 mg will be employed. If the patient requires more contrast agent, this will be used without the addition of lidocaine.

  • Normal SalineDrug

    1:1 combination of contrast dye Diatrizoate 60% (5 ml) diluted with normal saline 0.9% (5 ml) used at ERCP (standard of care).

What is being measured

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

  1. Post ERCP Pancreatitis is the Primary Outcome.

    The primary outcome of interest will be development of acute pancreatitis defined as new or worsening abdominal pain post-ERCP associated with an increase in serum amylase at least 3 times the upper limit of normal.

    Measured: 24-48 hours post-procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Serum Amylase Levels

    serum amylase levels are measure by a blood draw

    Measured: measurement is taken 2 hrs after ERCP
