Studying severe pancreatitis with new lab tests
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- If you have pancreatitis, your symptoms started within the last 72 hours.
- You have been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on the 2012 Atlanta criteria.
- If you are a healthy volunteer, you have no history of pancreatitis and your routine blood and stool tests are normal.
- You have not taken antibiotics, probiotics, or acid-suppressing drugs in the past 4 weeks.
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain other serious medical conditions.

This study tests whether taking a specific friendly bacterium (Bifidobacterium longum) can help people with moderate-to-severe acute pancreatitis recover faster. Participants will either receive the bacterium or a placebo (inactive pill) for the first few days of treatment.
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 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 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 observes adults with acute pancreatitis to learn more about how the condition presents and what happens to patients over time. By participating, you can help researchers improve care for this painful condition.
This study looks at how acute pancreatitis affects blood sugar and the risk of developing diabetes. You'll wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor and have metabolic tests to track changes over time.
