Dose-escalation of Rectal Indomethacin for Preventing PEP

Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University

Summary

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).
