Feeding method after drainage of pancreatic necrosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of feeding after a procedure to drain pancreatic necrosis: a tube placed into the small intestine or eating by mouth. It aims to see which method helps recovery better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You have acute pancreatitis that led to a walled-off necrosis (a type of pancreatic fluid collection)
- You need a drainage procedure done through an endoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera)
- You have not had stomach or intestine surgery that affects nutrient absorption
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial compares placing a small plastic drain (stent) in your pancreas duct versus usual care for people with severe acute pancreatitis that is starting to cause organ failure. The goal is to see if the stent helps you heal faster and prevents complications.
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 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.
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 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.
This trial tests a procedure using an ultrasound through the stomach to drain fluid collections that form after pancreatitis. It aims to relieve symptoms like pain or blockages without major surgery.
