Active clinical trials for "Pancreatitis"

A prospective, single arm, open label, multi-center, trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Interscope EndoRotor® Resection System in subjects requiring direct endoscopic necrosectomy (DEN) with walled off pancreatic necrosis (WOPN).

Walled of necrosis (WON) is severe local complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis. Disconnected pancreatic duct syndrome(DPDS) is commonly seen (50-60%) after necrotizing pancreatitis and has long term implication like recurrent pancreatic fluid collections (PFC)] requiring re-intervention. Incidence of recurrent PFC is more common in patients with DPDS (17-50%) compared to others. Studies has shown permanent in-dwelling transmural stent reduces recurrence of PFC (1.7% vs 17.4%, p<0.001). Nowadays,WON is effectively managed with endoscopic step up approach (96%). Several studies showed dedicated self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) are effective compared to the plastic stents in management of WON with decreased need of re-intervention. However, SEMS cannot be kept for longer duration because of associated adverse events. So, experts recommend to remove SEMS within 4-6 weeks of placement. Considering this background, study is planned with aim to see the effect of transmural plastic stenting on recurrence of PFC after SEMS removal in walled off necrosis with DPDS.

The primary objective is to determine the change in Triglyceride (TG) levels following 12 weeks of repeated Intravenous (IV) doses of evinacumab.

The goal of this observational study was to explore the complex relationship between changes in the intestinal microbiome and serum metabolites in patients with novel coronavirus infection and acute pancreatitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: The changes of intestinal microbiota and serum metabolites in patients with novel coronavirus infection and acute pancreatitis. Question 2: The relationship between the changes in the intestinal microbiome and serum metabolites. Participants will be recruited according to certain criteria. The investigators plan to recruit 4 groups of 30 volunteers, 120 volunteers in total. It is divided into (a) AP patients without COVID-19 (normal group) (b) AP patients with COVID-19 (treatment group) (c) patients with COVID-19 infection (control group) (d) normal healthy people. The basic information of subjects, including age, sex, address, and enrollment time, was collected after enrollment. After completing the relevant preparations, start the experiment. First of all, the sample collection and detection. Blood samples were taken from 2-3ml of blood (biochemical tube) after admission or in the morning of the next day, centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 3 minutes, and stored at -80℃ within 1 hour after taking the serum; Fecal samples are stool samples retained after admission and before antibiotic use. Fecal samples need to be stored at -20℃ within one hour after collection and transferred to -80℃within 24 hours. After the retention of samples, the retained stool samples shall be tested for bacterial flora, and the blood samples shall be tested for serum metabolomics. After the test, the investigators will use the statistical software SPSS 22.0 for statistical analysis. At the same time, in order to determine the correlation between intestinal flora and clinical parameters, the investigators will use Permutation analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) to process the data.

This study assesses the pain response to Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) guided Celiac Plexus Block (CPB) treatment in comparison to EUS without a pain block administered. All participants will receive medications for pain as needed.

The study is a phase 2/3, multicenter, double-blind, parallel assignment study. It involves 100 adult recipients of an intra-hepatic pancreatic Islet Auto-Transplantation (IAT). The objective of this clinical trial is to assess whether reparixin leads to improved transplant outcome as measured by the proportion of insulin-independent patients following IAT. The safety of reparixin in the specific clinical setting will be also evaluated.

Recently up-coming drug, etomidate which is a modulator of GABA(gamma-Aminobutyric acid)-A receptor has been known that it maintains the appropriate sedative levels and affects little effects on respiratory system. The investigators are now trying to investigate that etomidate with meperidine combination regimen is superior to the midazolam with meperidine more effective and less harm on sedation during the ERCP procedure.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether giving large amounts of intravenous (IV) fluids will reduce the risk of developing a complication known as post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas, and it is the most frequent serious complication of ERCP. Typically, a small amount of IV fluids are given during this procedure (~ 1 liter). We are testing whether using a larger amount of fluids (2 - 3 liters) will reduce the risk of PEP.

The therapeutic impact of ERCP with sphincterotomy in the management of patients with idiopathic recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) needs further study. The investigators conducted a single center, feasibility, randomized trial to determine 1) the role of pancreatic manometry in predicting future episodes of RAP and 2) differences in the efficacy of no, biliary (BES) or pancreatobiliary (dual) endoscopic sphincterotomy (DES).

This study is to verify the efficacy of 3.0 g/day of SA-001 in patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis in the non-compensatory stage or by pancreatectomy as compared with placebo under a double-blind design using the change in a coefficient of fat absorption as a primary endpoint.
