Magnesium Sulfate in the Prevention of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis.

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Post-ERCP Pancreatitis
Interventions
Drug: Placebo (NaCl 0,9%)
Registration Number
NCT03749590
Lead Sponsor
University Medicine Greifswald
Brief Summary

MagPEP is a multi-centre, randomized, phase III, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group trial. It evaluates magnesium sulfate for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis. Adult patients with a medical indication for ERCP are to be randomized (1:1 ratio) to receive either magnesium sulfate or placebo (NaCl 0,9%) 60 min before and 6 hours after ERCP.

Detailed Description

Title: prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, phase III trial to evaluate the efficacy of magnesium sulfate for the prevention of post-ERCP pancreatitis

Study drug: Magnesium sulfate

Indication: post-ERCP pancreatitis

Study design: multi-centre, randomized, phase III, double blind, placebo controlled, parallel group

Patient population: adult patients with a medical indication for ERCP

Number of patients: 1376 randomized to two equal groups

Treatment: patients receive 2 infusions of 500 ml NaCl 0,9%: the first one 60 min before ERCP and the second one 6 hours after ERCP. To the infusions 10 ml of either magnesium sulfate or placebo (NaCl 0,9%) will be added.
