Study of acid-reducing drug in pancreatic necrosis drainage
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a type of acid-reducing drug (called a PPI) affects the outcome of endoscopic drainage for walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON). It aims to see if the drug helps or harms recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 80 years old.
- You have walled-off pancreatic necrosis (WON), a pocket of dead tissue that forms after severe pancreatitis.
- Your doctor plans to drain or remove the necrosis using an endoscope (a tube with a camera) guided by ultrasound.
- You have not used acid-reducing drugs like PPIs (e.g., omeprazole) in the last 14 days, and you do not need to take them regularly for other health issues.
- You do not have severe bleeding risks, such as a high INR (>1.5) or very low platelets (<50,000).
- You are not pregnant, and you have not had stomach or pancreatic surgery in the past.

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 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.
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 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.
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.
