Pancreatitis Clinical Trials

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of NI-03 (Study Medication) compared to Placebo in Subjects with Chronic Pancreatitis.

For patients with severe pancreatitis refractory to medical and endoscopic therapy, total pancreatectomy (TP) with islet autotransplantation (IAT) may be considered. While 90% of TPIAT recipients have some function of the transplanted islet graft, only about 1/3rd come completely off insulin. The long-term goal of the proposed research is to ...

Summary Purpose and Objective: The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of rapid acquisition of point of care 3D ultrasound in obtaining abdominal and/or pelvic images. The study will use a newly developed acquisition method and post-processing technique to create three dimensional image models of the abdomen ...

Acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) are associated with high disease burden across the lifespan. Recurring abdominal pain is the most prevalent and distressing symptom. Pain severity reduces health-related quality of life for individuals with CP and is associated with increased fatigue, anxiety and depressive symptoms, lower general ...

Chronic pancreatitis is a chronic inflammatory condition where progressive fibrosis and scarring leads to loss of pancreatic exocrine and endocrine function and can lead to development of malnutrition, weight loss, abdominal pain and impaired quality of life. Patients with chronic pancreatitis have a high risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared to ...

Investigators plan to harvest human islets using carbon monoxide-saturated mediums. Survival and function of transplanted islets will be compared with islets harvested using regular mediums.

This is a Phase IIa study sponsored by AzurRx SAS and Syneos Health is a local representative sponsor and involves testing of a new medication for the compensation of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) caused by chronic pacreatitis (CP) and/or distal pancreatectomy. The new medication is called MS1819 Spray Dried (MS1819-SD) ...

Pancreatic cancer is the 4th cause of cancer related deaths in USA and in many of the Western Countries. The incidence of the disease is almost corresponding to the mortality rate. For this reason pancreatic cancer can be considered a global lethal disease. Even if treatments have improved, the resection ...

The initial study design with discussions about the different variables to be included into the investigators' prospective database started during 2014 PancreasFest held in Pittsburgh, PA in late July 2014 under the sponsorship of Collaborative Alliance for Pancreatic Education and Research (CAPER). Following this, a datasheet with variables was created, ...

This study is a proposed a comprehensive prospective assessment of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI), nutritional status, and quality of life (QOL) during the early re-feeding phase, at 3 months, and 12 months following an AP attack. A blood sample will be collected for measurement of nutritional markers and a fecal ...
