Simvastatin in Reducing Pancreatitis in Patients With Recurrent, Acute or Chronic Pancreatitis

Acute Pancreatitis Clinical Trial

Official title:
Statin Therapy to Reduce the Risk of Recurrent Pancreatitis

Clinical Trial Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well simvastatin works in reducing pancreatitis (the inflammation of the pancreas) in patients with pancreatitis that occurs more than once (recurrent), has worsened quickly (acute), or has persisted or progressed over a long period of time (chronic). Simvastatin may decrease the inflammation of the pancreas by modulating the immune response responsible for inflammation. It is not yet known if simvastatin may be an effective treatment for pancreatitis.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To evaluate the effect of a simvastatin intervention versus placebo on the change in secretin-stimulated peak bicarbonate concentration in the pancreatic fluid at 6 months post-treatment in patients with a history of at least two episodes of acute pancreatitis in the past 12 months. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the effect of a simvastatin intervention versus placebo at 6 months from baseline (study visit 1) on: Ia. Change in the endoscopic ultrasound score (EUS). Ib. Change in serum and pancreatic fluid levels of cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. Ic. Change in pancreatitis-related readmissions. Id. Change in quality of life score as measured by the Quality of Life (QLQ)-Core (C)30 and QLQ-Pancreatic modification (PAN)28(Chronic Pancreatitis [CP]). OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive simvastatin orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 6 months. ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO QD for 6 months. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30, 60, and 90 days. ;
