Recruiting studies
- NCT07074379Recruiting
Treatments for painless chronic pancreatitis
This study tests whether a procedure using a scope (endotherapy) or shock waves to break up stones can help people with painless chronic pancreatitis who have not had these treatments before.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–85 - NCT05771675RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Simvastatin trial for symptom relief in pancreatitis

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06386224Recruiting
Online pain self-management for pancreatitis pain
This study tests an online pain-management program for adults with chronic or recurrent acute pancreatitis. The program is done on your own device (or a loaner iPad) and is designed to help you learn skills to cope with pain and improve daily life.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07707609Recruiting
Pain and brain changes in chronic pancreatitis
This study looks at how chronic pancreatitis pain affects the nervous system and mental health. It aims to understand pain better and may help develop new ways to manage it.
Hyderabad, TelanganaAges 18–60 - NCT03434392Recruiting
Testing pain-sensing to predict treatment response in chronic pancreatitis
This study uses a special pain-testing method to better predict how people with chronic pancreatitis-related pain (or similar conditions) will respond to treatment. It may help doctors choose therapies that work better for each person’s type of pain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03460769Recruiting
Mixed meal test to study diabetes from pancreas conditions
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30–84 - NCT03853447Recruiting
Study of inflammation changes from pancreas flare to chronic disease
This trial studies how “inflammation” in the pancreas changes over time—going from a first or repeated attack to long-term (chronic) pancreatitis. It may help doctors understand what drives progression and identify people at higher risk for chronic disease.
Hvidovre, Capital Region DenmarkAges 18–70 - NCT04403074Recruiting
Procedure for pancreas pain in chronic pancreatitis
This trial tests an endoscopy-based procedure called celiac plexus neurolysis to reduce pain from chronic pancreatitis. It may help people whose pancreas pain has not been adequately controlled with other treatments.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT04996628Recruiting
Testing nerve pain signals to guide treatment for chronic pancreatitis pain
This study checks how your nerves respond to controlled touch and temperature tests, to help predict how well you’ll respond to procedures that relieve blockage in the main pancreatic duct. It may help doctors choose the most effective treatment for chronic pancreatitis pain.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT05733130Recruiting
Registry study for chronic pancreatitis symptoms
This study keeps a medical registry of people with chronic pancreatitis (long-term pancreas inflammation), starting soon after the diagnosis. It helps doctors better understand how the condition begins and progresses in real life.
MilanAges 12 years+ - NCT05925036RecruitingPhase 1
Cell therapy trial for pain from long-term pancreatitis
This Phase 1 study tests a new cell-based treatment to reduce pain caused by chronic pancreatitis. It’s designed mainly to check safety first, and it may help people with ongoing, opioid-stable pancreatic pain.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT06178315Recruiting
Nerve block for pain from chronic pancreatitis
This trial tests a treatment where medication is injected near nerves in the belly to block pain signals. It may help people with long-term pain from chronic pancreatitis by reducing pain without surgery.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06205342RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Stem cells for chronic pancreatitis pain
This trial tests whether a new treatment using stem cells can safely reduce long-term pain from chronic pancreatitis. It is for people who have had pancreatic pain for at least 6 months and are already taking daily pain medicine.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT06267365Recruiting
Predicting treatment success for chronic pancreatitis
This study looks at whether brain patterns can predict how well endoscopic therapy works for chronic pancreatitis pain. If you have confirmed chronic pancreatitis with blockage in your pancreatic duct and frequent pain, you may be able to join.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06655051Recruiting
Plastic versus metal stent for bile duct blockage from chronic pancreatitis
This study compares two types of stents (plastic vs. metal) to see which works better for treating bile duct narrowing caused by chronic pancreatitis. If you have a bile duct blockage from chronic pancreatitis, you may be eligible.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06925204Recruiting
Study on chronic pancreatitis and its treatments
This study looks at how chronic pancreatitis changes over time and how treatments work. It may help doctors find better ways to manage the condition.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07174609Recruiting
Scrambler therapy for chronic pancreatitis pain
This study tests a non-invasive pain treatment called scrambler therapy for people with chronic pancreatitis. It uses mild electrical signals on the skin to try to reduce long-term belly pain.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07314489RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Glucose and enzyme function in chronic pancreatitis
This study looks at how chronic pancreatitis affects blood sugar and digestion. It tests if your body makes enough enzymes and how your sugar control changes over time.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT00830557Recruiting
Share information and donate tissue samples for pancreatic illnesses
This study collects health information and tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic conditions. Your participation may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07439757Recruiting
Using AI to Guide Care for Pancreatic Conditions
This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help doctors make better decisions for people with suspected pancreatic conditions. If you are already getting a special CT scan, the AI will analyze the images to see if it can improve diagnosis and treatment planning.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - 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.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07109180Recruiting
Robot vs. open surgery for chronic pancreatitis pain
This study compares robot-assisted vs. open surgery for treating chronic pancreatitis pain. It aims to see which approach works better for people with a dilated pancreatic duct who need relief from severe symptoms.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04115826Enrolling by invitation
Stones treatment comparison for chronic pancreas pain
This trial compares two ways to break and remove pancreatic duct stones in people with long-term pancreas pain caused by calcified stones. It looks to see which approach helps reduce pain more effectively and safely.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for chronic pancreatitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 54 recruiting chronic 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 chronic 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 chronic 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.
