Administration of Secretin (RG1068) Increases the Sensitivity of Detection of Duct Abnormalities by Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography in Patients With Pancreatitis

Compared with images from MRCP, those from RG1068-stimulated MRCP are improved in many aspects and could aid in diagnosis and clinical decision making for patients with acute, acute recurrent, or chronic pancreatitis. RG1068-enhanced MRCP might also better identify patients in need of therapeutic ERCP (ClinicalTrials.gov, Number: NCT00660335).
