Timing of treatment for necrotizing pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatment strategies for necrotizing pancreatitis, a severe form of pancreatitis where tissue dies. It tests whether focusing on the timing of treatment or on how to drain the dead tissue leads to better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with necrotizing pancreatitis (confirmed by CT or MRI scan).
- It has been less than 28 days since your pancreatitis started.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You or your legal representative can give permission to participate.
- You have not already had a drain placed through the stomach or intestine for this condition.

This trial studies the best timing for using a camera down your throat to drain infected fluid pockets from severe pancreatitis. It is for people who are still in the hospital with signs of infection and who can have the procedure done within the first 26 days of their illness.
This study compares two ways to treat a pancreatic infection pocket (walled-off necrosis): removing dead/infected tissue right away versus starting with drainage and escalating if needed. It may help find the safest, most effective approach for getting the infection under control.
This study looks at how a surgery to remove dead tissue from the pancreas (called open necrosectomy) affects organ function in patients with acute pancreatitis and sepsis. It may help doctors understand how to better treat this serious condition.
This trial looks at how organ function changes in patients with severe pancreatitis and sepsis after open surgery to remove dead tissue (necrosectomy). It aims to understand if recovery patterns differ.
This study compares removing a special metal stent early (after 2 weeks) versus waiting the usual 4 weeks in people who had a cyst in their pancreas drained. It is for those whose cyst has shrunk at least 70% after 2 weeks, to see if earlier removal is safe and effective.
This study looks at the best time to do a procedure called necrosectomy after draining a walled-off pocket of dead pancreatic tissue through an endoscope. It may help reduce complications and improve symptoms in people whose pancreatic necrosis is infected or causing problems like pain or blockage.
