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 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 trial tests a device that filters blood to remove waste products that may worsen pancreatitis. It aims to see if the device is safe and helps people with severe pancreatitis recover.
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 studies a new way to monitor infected pockets of dead tissue in the pancreas (called walled-off necrosis) right at the bedside during standard drainage treatment. It may help doctors track changes in the infection more closely, which could improve care.
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.
