March 13, 2024 updated by: Rui Li, The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University

A Clinical Study on the Optimal Dose of Indomethacin Suppository for Preventing Post-ERCP Pancreatitis

This study is a single-center, randomized, single-blind, parallel controlled clinical study to explore the optimal dose of postoperative indomethacin suppository for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis. The purpose of this study is to explore the optimal dosage of indomethacin suppository for PEP prevention, to study the control effect of indomethacin on hyperamylaseemia, and to further explore the group of patients who benefit most from this therapy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is a single-centre, randomized, single-blind, parallel-controlled designed clinical study to explore the optimal dose of postoperative indomethacin suppository for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis. The study will enroll 192 patients who undergo ERCP in the Department of Gastroenterology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from November 2022 to October 2023, and they will be randomly assigned to 3 groups of 64 each according to the date of surgery and hospitalisation number in a random number list formed by SPSS software.
