Medicine to prevent repeat pancreas attacks from high triglycerides
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a medication (a GLP-1 agonist) to see if it can prevent another pancreatitis attack caused by very high triglycerides. If you recently had such an attack, this treatment might lower your risk of it happening again.
