Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT05694988Recruiting
Filter blood to reduce inflammation in acute pancreatitis
This trial tests whether using blood “filters” plus high-volume fluid filtration can improve outcomes in adults with acute pancreatitis without infection. It aims to remove inflammatory substances from the blood early, while ensuring you’re stable enough for several hours of treatment.
MoscowAges 18–75 - NCT06023771Recruiting
Invasive treatments for complications of acute pancreatitis
This study tests if invasive procedures (like draining fluid or removing dead tissue) can help people with complications from acute pancreatitis that do not improve with medicines or other non-surgical care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06080789RecruitingPhase 2
Study of a single injection of RABI-767 for severe acute pancreatitis
This trial tests a single injection of a new drug called RABI-767, given through a thin tube during an endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), to see if it can help people with severe acute pancreatitis. The drug is meant to reduce inflammation and prevent complications.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–85 - NCT06147635RecruitingPhase 2
Tributyrin for early acute pancreatitis
This trial tests a supplement called tributyrin (related to butyrate) to see if it can help prevent complications from acute pancreatitis when given early after diagnosis. It is for people having their first episode of pancreatitis, not for those with certain causes or weakened immune systems.
Delft, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT06508502Recruiting
Pancreatitis Severity and Gut Bacteria Study
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) might affect the severity of a first-time acute pancreatitis attack. It aims to see if certain gut bacteria can predict how serious the illness will be, which could help doctors treat patients better.
Göttingen, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT06553651Recruiting
Freezing tool to remove dead pancreas tissue
This trial tests a new freezing tool to remove dead tissue from the pancreas after acute pancreatitis. It might help you if you have a large, painful collection of dead tissue that needs to be cleaned out through a tube down your throat.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06835023Recruiting
Dextran and Ringer's Lactate vs. Ringer's Lactate Alone for Pancreatitis
This trial compares standard fluids (Ringer's lactate) to a combination of dextran 40 and Ringer's lactate for treating mild or moderate acute pancreatitis. It aims to see which works better for rehydration and recovery.
Satu Mare, Satu Mare CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06867120Recruiting
Predicting pancreatitis severity with bowel sounds
This study uses a special device to listen to bowel sounds to help predict how severe acute pancreatitis will be. The goal is to find a simple, non-invasive way to guide treatment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT07024199RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief for children with acute pancreatitis
This trial compares three common pain relievers (paracetamol, ibuprofen, and metamizole) to see which works best for children with acute pancreatitis. It aims to help your child feel better faster with fewer side effects.
WarsawAges 3–18 - NCT07153809Recruiting
Fecal transplant for severe acute pancreatitis recovery
This trial tests whether a fecal transplant (transferring healthy gut bacteria from a donor) can help people with severe acute pancreatitis. It is for adults who are about 2 weeks past the onset of the disease and have started to recover but still have fluid buildup in the pancreas.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07267169Recruiting
Blood filtering for acute pancreatitis
This trial tests whether a special blood filter (Efferon LPS) can help people with moderate to severe acute pancreatitis by removing harmful substances. It is for those who have been sick for 5 days or less and have certain signs of inflammation or organ stress.
