We’re tracking 11 recruiting acute pancreatitis studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Early Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT07418593RecruitingPhase 4
Blood test for pancreas function in chronic pancreatitis
This trial tests a new blood test to measure how well your pancreas works. It may help people with chronic pancreatitis understand their condition and quality of life.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06729996RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing two diabetes medicines for pancreatitis-related diabetes
This trial tests whether pioglitazone or empagliflozin is better at managing diabetes caused by chronic or recurrent pancreatitis. You will take one of these pills daily for 6 months and track your blood sugar and ketones at home. The goal is to find a safer, more effective treatment for this type of diabetes.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–80 - NCT05197920Recruiting
Study of diabetes after acute pancreatitis
This study looks at why some people develop diabetes after acute pancreatitis and how that process works in the body. It may help doctors better predict risk and tailor care for people recovering from pancreatitis.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT05771675RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Simvastatin trial for symptom relief in pancreatitis
This early-phase study tests whether simvastatin can improve patient-reported symptoms in people with recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis. It’s meant to see if the medicine is tolerable and helps with how you feel day to day.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–75 - NCT06401577Recruiting
Acute pancreatitis and diabetes risk study
This study looks at how acute pancreatitis affects blood sugar and the risk of developing diabetes. You'll wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor and have metabolic tests to track changes over time.
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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04814693Enrolling by invitation
Endoscopic removal of pancreatic dead tissue: two technique options
This trial compares two ways of clearing “walled-off” dead tissue in the pancreas using an endoscope—one is standard tools, the other is the EndoRotor® system. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better after you’ve already had drainage.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06651580Recruiting
Gene study for kids with pancreas problems
This study collects samples like blood or tissue from children with pancreatitis to look for gene changes that might raise their risk. It helps doctors learn more about why some children get pancreas inflammation.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT06880770RecruitingPhase 3
Study of plozasiran for severe high triglycerides with pancreatitis
This study tests an investigational drug called plozasiran for people with severely high triglycerides that have already caused pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). The goal is to see if the drug can lower triglycerides and help prevent future attacks.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

What taking part in a acute pancreatitis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
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
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there acute pancreatitis clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 11 recruiting acute pancreatitis studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a acute pancreatitis study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute pancreatitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New acute pancreatitis studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
