Gene study for kids with pancreas problems
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study collects samples like blood or tissue from children with pancreatitis to look for gene changes that might raise their risk. It helps doctors learn more about why some children get pancreas inflammation.

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 collects health information and tissue samples from people with pancreatic cancer or other pancreatic conditions. Your participation may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future care.
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 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 blood “markers” to find early signs or higher risk for pancreatic cancer. You may join if you have certain risk factors (like new diabetes, pancreatic cysts/pancreatitis, or a strong family history) and can come to Omaha for blood draws twice a year.
This study looks at how the pancreas affects blood sugar and diabetes. It may help find better ways to prevent or treat type 2 diabetes.
