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 tests whether placing a small tube (stent) in the pancreatic duct during an early stage of acute pancreatitis helps you recover better than the usual treatment without a stent. The goal is to see if the stent reduces complications and improves outcomes for people with moderate to severe pancreatitis.
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 study compares different ways doctors drain bile when a tumor blocks the duct and causes jaundice. It looks at real-world results to find which technique works best for patients like you.
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 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 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.
