Endoscopy in acute pancreatitis study
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether an upper endoscopy (a camera test to look inside your stomach and the first part of your small intestine) done within 24-48 hours of being admitted to the hospital can help guide treatment for acute pancreatitis. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a confirmed case of acute pancreatitis and are able to safely undergo this procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with acute pancreatitis based on specific criteria (belly pain, high blood levels of pancreatic enzymes, or imaging results).
- You are admitted to the hospital for acute pancreatitis and can have an upper endoscopy within 24 to 48 hours of being admitted.
- You are able to safely undergo an upper endoscopy with sedation.
- You have not had previous stomach or small intestine surgery that would affect the exam, and you are not pregnant.

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 study tests if giving the blood thinner heparin early in acute pancreatitis can prevent organs from failing. It looks at whether heparin helps reduce serious complications and improve recovery.
This trial tests a special cooling catheter placed in the stomach to reduce inflammation in people with acute pancreatitis. It may help ease symptoms and speed recovery.
This study compares two ways of managing mild acute pancreatitis: being treated at the hospital (inpatient) versus going home with careful monitoring (outpatient). It aims to see if home care is safe and as effective as hospital care for people with mild symptoms.
This study looks at people with acute pancreatitis caused by very high blood fat levels (triglycerides). It aims to collect information to better understand and treat this condition.
This study looks at how gut bacteria change during acute pancreatitis and whether analyzing them can help predict how severe the condition will become. It may lead to better treatments and faster recovery.
