PERT for severe acute pancreatitis with tissue loss
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a medicine called PERT (pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy) helps people with severe acute pancreatitis who have lost pancreatic tissue (necrosis) and significant body weight. The goal is to see if replacing missing digestive enzymes improves nutrition and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have acute pancreatitis (not chronic or recurrent) that started within the last 28 days.
- At least half (50%) of your pancreas tissue must have died (necrosis), confirmed by a doctor.
- You will have lost more than 10% of your body weight since the pancreatitis began.
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
