About this study

Official title: The Effect of the Use of Lactated Ringer's Solution During ERCP on Rate of Post-endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Pancreatitis

This is a randomized, double-blinded, controlled trial. This study is a head to head comparison of normal saline (NS) infusion versus Lactated Ringer's (LR) infusion in patients, with the primary outcome of post-ERCP pancreatitis occurrence. Patients will be randomized to either the NS infusion group or the LR infusion group. IVF will be started pre-procedurally and will be continued throughout the procedure. A IVF bolus will be given at the end of the procedure and then continued as a continuous infusion. Our null hypothesis is that there will be no significant difference in the rate of occurrence of post-ERCP pancreatitis between the infusion of LR and NS solutions. Our alternative hypothesis is that patients receiving LR solution infusion will experience a decreased rate of post-ERCP pancreatitis compared to patients receiving NS solution infusion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lactated Ringer and Normal Saline 0.9% Infusion Solution Bag in people with Post-ERCP Acute Pancreatitis, run by University of South Florida.

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 15 inclusion and 11 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Primary Investigator (8139743980, ptaunk@health.usf.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-ercp 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 12 Jul 2017.
