Tracking organ health after surgery for infected pancreatic necrosis with sepsis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at how organ function changes in people with severe acute pancreatitis who also have sepsis, after surgery to remove infected dead tissue from the pancreas. If you're having this type of surgery, the study hopes to improve understanding of recovery and organ health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You need a confirmed diagnosis of acute pancreatitis.
- You must have infected dead tissue in or around the pancreas that requires surgery to remove it.
- You must meet the medical definition of sepsis (a severe whole-body reaction to infection).
- You cannot have had previous surgery on the same area.

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 study compares two different approaches—one focused on when to drain the dead tissue and another on how to drain it—for treating necrotizing pancreatitis. The goal is to find which strategy leads to better recovery and fewer complications.
This study tests a new blood test that looks for signs of infection in people with severe pancreatitis. It aims to more accurately detect if the dead pancreatic tissue has become infected, which could help doctors decide on treatment earlier.
This trial compares a newer, minimally invasive surgery (MIPPED-C) with standard open surgery (OSN) for treating infected pancreatic necrosis. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests whether removing the spleen during open surgery for infected dead pancreas tissue helps people with a specific type of high blood pressure around the spleen caused by severe pancreatitis. It may lower bleeding risk and improve recovery.
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut (microbiome) might affect the severity of a first-time acute pancreatitis attack. It aims to see if certain gut bacteria can predict how serious the illness will be, which could help doctors treat patients better.
