The Effect of Proton Pump Inhibitors on Endoscopic Treatment of Walled-off Necrosis: a Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial
In this multicenter, randomized controlled trial, patients with pancreatic walled-off necrosis (WON) based on inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either receive intravenous infusion or oral administration of continuous proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or to undergo no PPI (nPPI) therapy after endoscopic ultrasound-guided transluminal drainage/debridement. Clinical data and patient-reported outcomes will be systematically collected at baseline and during follow-up periods. The study aims to assess whether PPI use after EUS-TD (Endoscopic Ultrasonography-Guided Transmural Drainage) increases the number of direct endoscopic necrosectomies required to managing WON. Additionally, the study will investigate the impact of PPI use on the incidence of stent occlusion and postoperative complications following EUS-TD, as well as its effect on the average duration of hospitalization and associated costs for patients with WON.
• Patients aged 18 years or older and not exceeding 80 years of age.
• Patients with a confirmed diagnosis of WON.
• Patients requiring endoscopic ultrasound-guided transluminal drainage/debridement therapy.
• Patients who have signed informed consent forms.
