Preventing bleeding after sphincterotomy during ERCP

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of local administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) and sucralfate in reducing post-sphincterotomy bleeding in patients undergoing endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for common bile duct stone removal. A total of 120 patients will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving the treatment or a control group. The study aims to address the significant complication of delayed bleeding after sphincterotomy, which can lead to increased mortality and prolonged hospital stays. The trial is being conducted at National Cheng Kung University Hospital and Siriraj Hospital.
