Protocol summary

Study aim
Determining of the effectiveness of epinephrine spray on papillae in prevention of post-Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) pancreatitis
Design
A randomized, double-blinding clinical trial, with the parallel groups, Phase 3 on 164 patients
Settings and conduct
In this randomized double-blind clinical trial, 164 eligible patients referred to Hajar and Ayatollah-Kashani hospitals will be included in the study and randomly divided into two groups. In one group epinephrine spray and the other group, the normal-saline spray will be prescribed. It should be noted that the patient, researcher, and statistical analyst will not be aware of the type of intervention.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria include age 18 years or older, having intact papillae, no deformity ‌ Papilla, consent to participate in the study. Exclusion criteria include having acute pancreatitis, having chronic pancreatitis with an acute exacerbation, above normal serum amylase level or lipase level (> 200 units per liter), having bile duct cancer, previous ERCP history or papilla manipulation and allergy to epinephrine.
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Patients in this group receive 50 mg indomethacin suppository, before the ERCP. In addition, during ERCP and before cannulation, the epinephrine is sprayed locally on the major papillae by a sprinkler catheter and then completely removed from the patient after the endoscope intervention. Control group: Patients in this group receive 50 mg indomethacin suppository, before the ERCP. In addition, during ERCP and before cannulation, the normal saline is sprayed locally on the major papillae by a sprinkler catheter and then completely removed from the patient after the endoscope intervention.
Main outcome variables
Frequency of cannulation, incidence of pancreatitis

Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, 164 eligible patients will be randomly selected. Then random numbers are created by computer software "Random Allocation". These numbers are randomly labeled A (Control group) and B (Intervention group). Each number is written on paper and placed in an envelope. Then each patient is asked to choose an envelope from among the envelopes. According to the selected envelope, the patient will be assigned to one of the two groups A or B.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
In this study, the two sprays of epinephrine and normal saline of the same color and shape are prepared by the pharmacist and placed in coded packages and given to the doctor. He prescribes them without knowing the type of each drug. Also, the person recording the patient's clinical information and the statistical analyst will not be aware of the type of intervention.
