Enzyme pills for severe pancreas damage
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests if taking pancreatic enzyme pills can help people who have lost weight after a severe first-time pancreas attack with more than half of the organ damaged. It aims to see if the pills improve nutrition and recovery.
