Early scope procedure fails to show clear benefit in severe pancreatitis trial
NCT ID NCT00987428
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether doing an early endoscopic ultrasound and removing any gallstones from the bile duct could help people with severe pancreatitis caused by gallstones. The trial planned to enroll many patients but was stopped early after only 27 participants. The main goal was to see if this early procedure improved organ failure scores after 8 days compared to standard care without the procedure.
