Study of inflammation changes from pancreas flare to chronic disease
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pancreas disease that fits one of these: chronic pancreatitis, a first acute attack, or repeated acute attacks
- Your case is not caused by gallstones (so gallstone-related pancreatitis doesn’t count)
- Chronic pancreatitis diagnosis must meet the Mannheim criteria your clinician uses
- Acute pancreatitis episodes must meet the revised Atlanta criteria your clinician uses
- You may be asked to confirm your diagnosis history (how many attacks and when they happened)
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial looks at how severe acute pancreatitis works by using advanced tests on your body's germs, chemicals, and proteins. It may help find better ways to treat patients with this condition.
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 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.
This study collects health information and samples over time from people with chronic pancreatitis to learn more about the disease and improve care. It may include endoscopic procedures, which use a thin tube to look at the pancreas.
