Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether giving large amounts of intravenous (IV) fluids will reduce the risk of developing a complication known as post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, and it is the most frequent serious complication of ERCP. Typically, a small amount of IV fluids are given during this procedure (\~ 1 liter). We are testing whether using a larger amount of fluids (2 - 3 liters) will reduce the risk of PEP.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This trial is designed as a phase II/III study. The phase II portion of the trial will be completed to establish safety and efficacy data prior to proceeding with a phase III study. The phase II trial will enroll 110 patients that are undergoing elective ERCP as outpatients. Following the phase II portion, if the data suggests that the intervention arm (high volume group) is safe, the investigators will begin enrolling patients who are undergoing ERCP in a more urgent setting as inpatients.

We plan on enrolling 1,400 consecutive high risk patients undergoing ERCP. We are assuming a baseline PEP risk of 9.2%. Fluid administration will be based on Ideal Body Weight (IBW) in order to standardize the aggressive fluid administration across all body weights and reduce the potential for adverse cardiopulmonary outcomes.

All participants will be monitored for 90 minutes following their procedure to assess the development of any adverse symptoms. Analysis by a data safety monitoring board (DSMB) will take place throughout the study. The DSMB is comprised of a panel of experts independent of NorthShore University HealthSystem.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

High Volume Group (Intervention Arm)

Patients will be randomized to receive intravenous Lactated Ringer's solution. In the high volume group (intervention arm), patients will receive fluids prior to, during, and after the completion of the procedure. Patients in the high volume group will receive fluids via infusion by the following weight based regimen:

* initial bolus of LR prior to ERCP of 7.5 cc/kg over 1 hour
* LR fluid infusion during the procedure at 5 cc/kg/hr
* Post-procedure bolus of 20 cc/kg over 90 minutes

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Administration of Lactated Ringer's (LR) Solution

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients will be randomized to low volume or high volume group. Patient in the low volume group will receive fluids via infusion at a rate of 1.5 cc/kg/hr. Fluid administration may be continued through the 90 minute post-procedure observation period. Patients in the high volume group will receive fluids via infusion by the following weight based regimen:

* initial bolus of LR prior to ERCP of 7.5 cc/kg over 1 hour
* LR fluid infusion during the procedure at 5 cc/kg/hr
* Post-procedure bolus of 20 cc/kg over 90 minutes

Low Volume Group (Control Arm)

Patients will be randomized to receive intravenous Lactated Ringer's solution. In the low volume group (control arm), patients will receive fluids at the start of the ERCP. The fluids will be administered via infusion at a rate of 1.5 cc/kg/hr. Fluids may be continued through the 90 minute post-procedure observation period.
