Summary

This study compares a low dose (50 mg) versus the standard dose (100 mg) of indomethacin given rectally before ERCP to prevent post-procedure pancreatitis. About 1,366 adults undergoing ERCP will be randomly assigned to one of the two doses in a double-blind fashion. The goal is to see if the lower dose works just as well while potentially causing fewer side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
indomethacin (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug given as a rectal suppository)
What this could lead to
If successful, a lower dose could prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis just as effectively as the standard dose, while reducing side effects like bleeding or kidney problems.
What could go wrong
This is a non-inferiority trial, so the lower dose might prove slightly less effective. The study is also limited to adults in China, so results may not apply everywhere.
