Cell therapy trial for pain from long-term pancreatitis
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old, and you can be male or female
- You have confirmed chronic pancreatitis with specific findings, such as calcifications, duct damage, or ongoing pancreas enzyme problems
- Your pancreatitis pain has lasted more than 6 months, with pain that can be steady or come and go
- Your pain score is above 30, and you’ve been on a stable opioid dose for at least 30 days
- You do not have a recent acute pancreatitis flare in the last 30 days
- Key health and safety issues (like serious anemia, major lab abnormalities, active infection, or certain heart failure) must not apply

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.
This trial tests whether pirfenidone, an oral medication that may reduce scarring and inflammation, can help relieve pain in people with chronic pancreatitis. If you have ongoing pain or frequent flare-ups, this study could offer a new treatment option.
This trial tests a two-part surgery: removing the pancreas and then putting the patient’s own insulin-making cells back into the body to help control long-term pancreatitis pain. It is aimed at adults with severe, long-lasting pain who have not improved with medicines or procedures.
This trial tests whether personalized education can improve how people with long-term pancreatitis experience and respond to pain. It may help by teaching pain-focused strategies and tracking how pain changes over time.
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.
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.
