Studying chronic pancreatitis using follow-up tests
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study follows people with chronic pancreatitis to learn more about the disease and how to better diagnose it. You may have research-related scans or procedures and will be asked to stay in follow-up over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have chronic pancreatitis (a long-term inflammation of the pancreas).
- You do not have pancreatitis caused by autoimmune disease or major trauma (or certain specific acute events).
- You do not have a primary pancreatic tumor or cancer in the pancreas, and it is not a spread (metastasis) from another cancer.
- You should not have had an organ transplant or have HIV/AIDS.
- You must be able to safely handle the study over time, including having follow-up visits as agreed.
- If you could become pregnant, you must have a negative pregnancy test shortly before any research procedures.

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.
This study collects health information and samples from people with chronic pancreatitis over time. It aims to better understand the disease and improve care for future patients.
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.
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.
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.
This study follows people with certain inflammatory or cyst-related pancreas conditions to learn more about their health and outcomes. It may help improve understanding of these pancreas problems and guide better care.
