Trial summary

Bleeding is the most frequently reported serious complication of endoscopic sphincterotomy, and severe bleeding has occurred in about 1% to 2% of patients. Endoscopic injection of epinephrine is the most commonly used, effective, and least expensive method for the management of post- sphincterotomy bleeding. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Prophylactic Epinephrine Solution Injection in Prevention of Delayed Post-sphincterotomy Bleeding in Patients with Transient Bleeding During ERCP

Bleeding is the most frequently reported serious complication of endoscopic sphincterotomy, and severe bleeding has occurred in about 1% to 2% of patients. Endoscopic injection of epinephrine is the most commonly used, effective, and least expensive method for the management of post- sphincterotomy bleeding. However, the efficacy of prophylactic saline-epinephrine solution injection to prevent delayed EST bleeding when transient bleeding During ERCP has not been established.

Backgroud:

Bleeding is the most frequently reported serious complication of endoscopic sphincterotomy, and severe bleeding has occurred in about 1% to 2% of patients. Endoscopic injection of epinephrine is the most commonly used, effective, and least expensive method for the management of post- sphincterotomy bleeding. However, the efficacy of prophylactic saline-epinephrine solution injection to prevent delayed EST bleeding when transient bleeding During ERCP has not been established.

Study Rationale:

The hypotheses of the study is the prophylactic saline-epinephrine solution injection affects incidence of delayed post-EST bleeding.

Study Design:

A single blinded parallel group, multiple center, randomized controlled trial. The sample size is estimated 400 (200 in injection group and 200 in non-injection group), The primary outcome is the rate of delayed EST bleeding within 30 days of ERCP.

Study Objectives:

Primary objective: the rate of post-EST bleeding within 30 days of ERCP Secondary objectives: the rate of post-ERCP advese effect, the increasing procedure time because of hemostasis, the need for angiographic/endoscopic hemostasis times.

What participants receive

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

  • epinephrine solution injectionProcedure or surgery

    epinephrine solution injection at least 1 ml to the post- sphincterotomy wound

Study groups in NCT04964869
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Epinephrine solution injection groupExperimentalIn injected group, The saline epinephrine solution (1mg in 10ml N/S) is injected to 2 sites of cutted papilla (1 o'clock and 11 o'clock) by injected needle, at least 0.5ml per injected site, and must be protruded from submucosal layer.
Receives: Procedure: epinephrine solution injection
non-injection groupNo interventionIn non injection group, the saline epinephrine solution is not given

What is being measured

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing epinephrine solution injection in people with Bleeding Hemorrhage, run by Wen-Hsin Huang at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 5 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

post EST bleeding rate (time frame: 30 days). 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.
