Brief Summary

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

Our aim is to compare the efficacy of 100 mg versus 200 mg rectal indometacin in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) among high-risk patients without no pancreatic stenting. The 100 mg versus 200 mg indometacin trial is a multicentre, single-blind, randomized controlled study. High-risk patients for PEP without pancreatic stent insertion will be informed about the opportunity to participate. A total of 1,036 eligible patients will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups: (1) administration of 100 mg rectal indometacin immediately after ERCP (standard-dose group), or (2) administration of 200 mg rectal indometacin immediately after ERCP (high-dose group). The primary outcome is the incidence and severity of PEP. Secondary outcomes include hyperamylasemia and other ERCP-related adverse events (AEs).

Detailed Description

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

Evidence suggests that escalating the rectal indometacin dose to 200 mg offers no clear advantage over the standard 100 mg regimen in high-risk patients. However, the majority of participants (76%) had received pancreatic stent placement, raising the possibility that the benefit of the supplementary strategy may have been obscured by the considerable efficacy of pancreatic stenting. Our aim is to compare the efficacy of 100 mg versus 200 mg rectal indometacin in preventing post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) among high-risk patients without no pancreatic stenting.
