MRI study of pancreas function in children with pancreatic issues
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study uses a special pancreas MRI to see how well the pancreas works and how pancreas disease changes over time. It also compares MRI findings in children with different pancreas conditions, including suspected pancreatic insufficiency and episodes of pancreatitis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be between 5 and under 21 years old

This study takes pictures of the pancreas in children and teens (and likely adults) with type 1 diabetes soon after diagnosis. The goal is to learn more about how the pancreas changes with diabetes, which may help future care.
This study checks whether regular imaging can find pancreatic cancer earlier in people who recently developed diabetes or whose diabetes is getting worse. It may help detect pancreatic problems sooner when treatment options are likely better.
This study tests a new, harmless “disposable” setup for MRI scans to measure how pancreatic cancer treatments affect the body. It may help doctors get more accurate MRI measurements, so treatment response can be assessed better.
This trial tests whether a special MRI scan can help doctors better plan treatment for people with pancreatic cancer that is borderline able to be removed by surgery. The study will check how the tumor responds to initial treatment before surgery.
This study uses MRI scans to screen for pancreas cancer in people at high risk due to family history or certain gene mutations. It aims to see if MRI can help find cancer early.
This study is testing a new MRI technique that may help predict how well pancreatic cancer treatments will work. You would receive a special substance (called hyperpolarized pyruvate) during a standard MRI scan.
