Comparing two enzyme treatments for chronic pancreatitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether enzymes from microbes work as well as enzymes from pigs to help people with chronic pancreatitis digest food better. It aims to find a treatment that reduces symptoms like pain and poor digestion.

This study tests a new pancreatic enzyme medicine (called NHS7108) for people with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI). EPI means your pancreas doesn't make enough enzymes to break down food properly. The study aims to see if this new medicine is safe and works well to help your body absorb nutrients.
This trial tests a new medicine (ANG003) for people with cystic fibrosis who have severe pancreatic problems. It looks at how safe and effective the medicine is, and whether it helps with digestion.
This trial tests whether pioglitazone or empagliflozin is better at managing diabetes caused by chronic or recurrent pancreatitis. You will take one of these pills daily for 6 months and track your blood sugar and ketones at home. The goal is to find a safer, more effective treatment for this type of diabetes.
This trial tests whether a pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) can help people who still have digestive problems after a recent episode of acute pancreatitis. The goal is to see if it improves symptoms like stomach pain, bloating, or diarrhea.
This trial tests two different doses of a digestive enzyme pill to see which works better for people who have trouble digesting food after stomach or pancreatic surgery. The goal is to improve digestion and quality of life.
This trial tests a new blood test to measure how well your pancreas works. It may help people with chronic pancreatitis understand their condition and quality of life.
