Filter by:Our aim in this study is to find out if we can locate the similar reduction in the recruitment of macrophages, remodeling of vasculature and do they correlate in the number and area of the islets in pancreas as in the mouse model.
RATIONALE: Measuring cadmium levels in urine samples from patients with chronic pancreatitis may help doctors predict which patients may develop pancreatic cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying urine cadmium levels in predicting pancreatic cancer risk in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Thalidomide (Thalomid) is effective in treating patients with chronic pancreatitis.
This study assessed the effect of pancrelipase delayed release capsules on fat and nitrogen absorption in subjects with PEI due to Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatectomy. There was a run-in with a 5-day of single-blind placebo treatment, followed by a 7-day Double-blind period and a 6-month Open-Label Follow-up.
This study is to evaluate the safety of 3.0 g/day of SA-001 (to be flexibly increased or decreased with the range from 1.5 g/day to 6.0 g/day), which will orally be administered for 52 weeks to patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis in the non-compensatory stage or by pancreatectomy.
This study is to verify the efficacy of 3.0 g/day of SA-001 in patients with pancreatic exocrine insufficiency caused by chronic pancreatitis in the non-compensatory stage or by pancreatectomy as compared with placebo under a double-blind design using the change in a coefficient of fat absorption as a primary endpoint.
The purpose of this trial is to determine whether a mucosa-to-mucosa technique of pancreaticojejunostomy will improve the pancreatic fistula rate.
Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreas that presents with abdominal pain and in late stages may cause diabetes and malnutrition. The pain may be incapacitating and may affect patients physically, mentally and socially. Pain due to chronic pancreatitis is difficult to treat. Oxidative stress and free radical mediated injury has been shown to cause pancreatic inflammation. It has been shown that patients with chronic pancreatitis are deficient in micronutrients and natural antioxidants such as b-carotene, vitamin E and C etc. Studies have suggested that antioxidant supplementation may help to combat pain in these patients. Antioxidant supplementation may decrease the oxidative stress and boost the antioxidant status, thereby resulting in pain relief. The investigators have planned to perform a trial to study the effect of antioxidant supplementation on pain relief in patients with chronic pancreatitis.
The researchers aim to study the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on chronic visceral pain in patients with idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.
This pilot study is a feasibility, safety, and preliminary benefits study to look at whether giving the calcium channel blocker amlodipine to people with hereditary pancreatitis as a prophylactic measure can reduce the inflammatory process in the pancreas.
