Comparing two methods for cleaning infected pancreatic fluid collections
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device (Endorotor) against standard methods to clean out infected fluid collections in the pancreas after severe pancreatitis. It aims to see if the new approach works better and costs less.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are hospitalized for severe pancreatitis with infected fluid collections that have been drained.
- You still have symptoms or infection more than 48 hours after drainage, and the collection is still visible on scans.
- You have not had any prior cleaning sessions (called DEN) for this collection.
- You are expected to live at least one year, without serious bleeding problems, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This trial compares two ways of clearing “walled-off” dead tissue in the pancreas using an endoscope—one is standard tools, the other is the EndoRotor® system. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better after you’ve already had drainage.
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 trial is testing a device that filters your blood to remove inflammatory particles (cfDNA and NETs) that may be worsening organ damage from pancreatitis. It is for people who have developed breathing, heart, or kidney problems while hospitalized with pancreatitis.
This trial tests a new freezing tool to remove dead tissue from the pancreas after acute pancreatitis. It might help you if you have a large, painful collection of dead tissue that needs to be cleaned out through a tube down your throat.
This trial tests whether using blood “filters” plus high-volume fluid filtration can improve outcomes in adults with acute pancreatitis without infection. It aims to remove inflammatory substances from the blood early, while ensuring you’re stable enough for several hours of treatment.
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.
