MagPEP: Magnesium Sulfate in the Prevention of Post-ERCP Pancreatitis.
Study Details
Study Description
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.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Magnesium 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. With each infusion 10 ml magnesium sulfate (4930 mg magnesium sulfate = 20 mmol magnesium) are administered (total dose: 9860 mg magnesium sulfate). |
Drug: Magnesium Sulfate
Patients receive 2 infusions (10 ml magnesium sulfate added to 500 ml NaCl 0.9%): the first infusion 60 min before and the second one 6 hours after ERCP

Placebo Comparator: Placebo (NaCl 0,9%) 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 each infusion 10 ml NaCl 0.9% (Placebo) will be added . |
Drug: Placebo (NaCl 0,9%)
Patients receive 2 infusions (10 ml NaCl 0.9% added to 500 ml NaCl 0.9%): the first infusion 60 min before and the second one 6 hours after ERCP

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- reduction in the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis by 50 % [24 hours after ERCP]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- reduction in intake of analgesics [during the first 24 hours after ERCP and, if a post-ERCP pancreatitis occurs, until discharge from hospital]
- duration of stay in hospital after ERCP [from end of ERCP to discharge from hospital; assessed on day 30 after ERCP]
- reduction in premature protease activation [during treatment period, assessed 24 h after ERCP]
- reduction in severity of post-ERCP pancreatitis [from 24 hours after ERCP onwards, assessed on day 30 after ERCP]
- reduction in 30-day morbidity [30 days after ERCP]
