Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study will include all consecutive patients with a native major duodenal papilla undergoing ERCP. Patients that previously underwent ERCP with sphincterotomy will not be included. Patients will be considered enrolled after signing the informed consent form. All patients will be hospitalized for at least 24 hours after ERCP for clinical observation.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with native duodenal papilla;
  • Any indication to ERCP +/- biliary sphincterotomy of duodenal major papilla;
  • Patients able to provide a written informed consent

Who cannot join

  • ERCP performed for disorders unrelated to biliary tract;
  • Previous upper gastrointestinal tract surgery;
  • Presence of a duodenal stricture (either malignant or benign);
  • Presence of a malignant infiltration of the papilla;
  • Concomitant anticoagulant and/or P2Y12 inhibitors therapy (clopidogrel, prasugrel, ticagrelor) that precludes the treatment;
  • INR > 1.5;
  • Platelets count < 80000/mm3;
  • Unwillingness to sign written informed consent.

About this study

Official title: Prediction of Post-Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography Pancreatitis Based on the Appearance of the Major Duodenal Papilla: a Prospective, Observational, Cohort Study

This observational, prospective study aims at evaluating how the occurrence of post-Endoscopic Retrograde CholangioPancreatography (ERCP) acute pancreatitis (PEP) could be influenced by difficult biliary cannulation that might be previously assessed by the morphological appearance of native major papilla in all the patients undergoing ERCP.

The rate of successful biliary cannulation across papilla types could be used as intraprocedural quality and competence metrics during training. Moreover, recognizing difficult papillae could allow reserving those to experts to decrease the odds of failed cannulation.

Being tested
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP)

What participants receive

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

  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP)Procedure or surgery

    ERCP performed for clinical practice

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of PEP occurrence

    Rate of PEP occurrence distributed between the different native major duodenal papilla types

    Measured: within 48 hours after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Rate of difficult biliary cannulation

    Rate of difficult biliary cannulation (> 5 cannulation attempts and/or > 5 minutes attempting to cannulate biliary duct and/or at least one passage in the pancreatic duct) distributed between the different native major duodenal papilla types

    Measured: during the procedure

  2. Rate of difficult biliary cannulation

    Rate of difficult biliary cannulation distributed between the different types of the intramural papillary segments on fluoroscopic images

    Measured: during the procedure

  3. Rate of intraoperative complications

    Rate of intraoperative complications distributed between the different native major duodenal papilla types

    Measured: during the procedure

  4. Rate of postoperative complications except for PEP

    Rate of postoperative complications except for PEP (up to 48 hours after ERCP) distributed between the different native major duodenal papilla types

    Measured: within 48 hours after the procedure

  5. Difference in the rate of difficult biliary cannulation

    Difference in the rate of difficult biliary cannulation between ERCP experts (>300 performed procedures) and fellows (<300 performed procedures)

    Measured: during the procedure

  6. occurrence of intra- and post-procedural complications

    To evaluate the occurrence of intra- and post-procedural complications but PEP, fluoroscopic morphology of the papillary segment of distal bile duct, perioperative and intraoperative risk factors

    Measured: within 48 hours after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post-ERCP Acute Pancreatitis, run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS at 2 sites in Italy.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Ivo Boskoski (+390630156580, ivo.boskoski@policlinicogemelli.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of PEP occurrence (time frame: within 48 hours after the procedure). 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 28 Feb 2024.
