Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT05878236Recruiting
Blood and scan markers in acute pancreatitis
This study looks at specific blood “immune” signatures and how they relate to outcomes in people with acute pancreatitis. If you enroll early, it may help doctors better predict how the illness will go and identify who might need more care.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06477159RecruitingPhase 4
Enzyme replacement for acute pancreatitis recovery
This trial tests whether a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) can help people who still have digestive problems after a recent episode of acute pancreatitis. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, or diarrhea.

Comparing two diabetes medicines for pancreatitis-related diabetes

Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
