Recruiting studies
- NCT05451901Recruiting
Direct surgery versus step-by-step drainage for walled pancreatic infection
This study compares two ways to treat a pancreatic infection pocket (walled-off necrosis): removing dead/infected tissue right away versus starting with drainage and escalating if needed. It may help find the safest, most effective approach for getting the infection under control.
Bunkyō-Ku, TokyoAges 18 years+ - NCT03684278RecruitingPhase 2
Infliximab for new acute pancreatitis patients in the first 36 hours
This trial tests infliximab (an anti-inflammatory medicine) versus placebo to see if it improves outcomes in adults with newly diagnosed acute pancreatitis. It is designed for treatment to start within 36 hours of hospital admission.
Aberdeen, AberdeenshireAges 18–85 - NCT04761523Recruiting
Diet fat changes to help prevent pancreatitis coming back
This study looks at whether changing how much dietary fat you eat can lower the chance that pancreatitis returns. It focuses on people who have had pancreatitis more than once and are not already receiving specific meal guidance for a medical reason.
BudapestAges 14 years+ - NCT06113419Recruiting
Timing of gallbladder surgery after severe pancreatitis
This study looks at the best time to remove the gallbladder in people who have had a severe bout of pancreatitis caused by gallstones. It aims to see if removing the gallbladder earlier or later after recovery helps patients heal better.
Bogota, CundinamarcaAges 18 years+ - NCT07738094Recruiting
Cold and NSAID therapy to prevent post-ERCP pancreatitis
This trial tests if applying cold therapy or giving an NSAID (anti-inflammatory medication) before an ERCP can prevent pancreatitis, a common complication. It is for adults having their first ERCP.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07681050RecruitingPhase 2
Phosphate for acute pancreatitis
This trial tests if giving phosphate through a vein can help people with acute pancreatitis. It's for adults who come to the emergency room with pancreatitis and can start treatment within 24 hours of being admitted to the hospital.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07406698Recruiting
Best timing for endoscopy in infected pancreatitis
This trial studies the best timing for using a camera down your throat to drain infected fluid pockets from severe pancreatitis. It is for people who are still in the hospital with signs of infection and who can have the procedure done within the first 26 days of their illness.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06899087Recruiting
Signals of infected pancreatic necrosis from blood
This trial collects blood samples from people with infected pancreatic necrosis to find patterns that help diagnose the condition. The goal is to reduce the need for invasive tests and start treatment faster.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT07168863Recruiting
Pancreas biopsy and pancreatitis risk study
This study looks at how often inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) happens after a pancreas biopsy using a special scope (EUS) and needle (FNB). If you are getting a biopsy of a mass or cyst in your pancreas or nearby bile duct, this study will help doctors understand the risks better.
Tehran, Tehran ProvinceAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06260878RecruitingPhase 4
Fluids before ERCP to prevent pancreatitis
This trial tests if giving fluids before an ERCP procedure can lower the risk of developing pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). It may help people who have not had this procedure before.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–75 - NCT05252754RecruitingPhase 3
Medicines to prevent pancreas swelling after ERCP
This Phase 3 study tests whether putting an anti-inflammatory medicine into the rectum (indomethacin) plus taking an immune-suppressing pill (tacrolimus) works better than using the two medicines in a different combination to prevent pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. If you qualify, you may be assigned to one of the treatment options to lower your risk of post-ERCP pancreas inflammation.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05267379Recruiting
Study of causes of pancreatitis after ERCP
This study looks at how genes and medication processing in the body may relate to getting pancreatitis after an ERCP procedure. If you are having an ERCP and meet the criteria, your data and possibly samples may help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
Nijmegen, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT04195347RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CM4620 to lessen pancreatitis after asparaginase
This study tests CM4620 to reduce how severe pancreatitis becomes in children and young people with leukemia/lymphoma who develop pancreatitis after receiving a drug called asparaginase. It aims to improve outcomes by calming the inflammation of the pancreas.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges Up to 21 years - NCT05146336Recruiting
CytoSorb registry for critically ill patients needing blood treatment
This registry collects information about critically ill patients who receive the CytoSorb 300 mL blood treatment. It may help doctors better understand when the treatment works best and when it should not be used.
KlagenfurtAges Any age - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 17 years - NCT03643718Recruiting
Emergency surgery and trauma patient registry online
This trial is a web-based registry that collects information about people who need emergency surgical or non-surgical treatment for sudden (acute) problems. Your information can help doctors better understand and improve emergency care and decision-making.
PisaAges Any age - NCT07117318Recruiting
NSAIDs with or without a pancreatic stent to prevent pancreatitis after ERCP
This trial tests whether using rectal NSAIDs (a type of painkiller) with or without a small tube (stent) in the pancreas can prevent pancreatitis after ERCP. It's for people who are at higher risk for this complication.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT06380842Recruiting
Organ function after necrosectomy for pancreatitis with sepsis
This study looks at how a surgery to remove dead tissue from the pancreas (called open necrosectomy) affects organ function in patients with acute pancreatitis and sepsis. It may help doctors understand how to better treat this serious condition.
Chengdu, ChinaAges 18 years+ - NCT05061680Recruiting
Balloon treatment for large bile duct stones
This trial looks at a procedure that uses a large balloon to help remove big stones from the bile duct. It may help people with large common bile duct stones who are safe for this approach.
HelsinkiAges 18–95 - NCT07756476Recruiting
Fluid treatment guided by heart response for acute pancreatitis
This study tests whether giving IV fluids based on how your heart responds can improve recovery from acute pancreatitis, compared with usual care. It may help your body handle fluids better during treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for acute pancreatitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 78 recruiting acute pancreatitis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a acute pancreatitis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a acute pancreatitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
