Brief Summary

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

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP (, a key tool that is used in diagnosis and treatment of pancreato-biliary diseases. Post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) is the most common and serious complication that can occur following this procedure and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. A variety of patient-related and procedure-related factors have been associated with higher rates of PEP.
