NCT ID: NCT00588367 Completed - Clinical trials for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

CT Pancreas Perfusion

Start date: April 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

1. Pancreatic CT perfusion with a biofeedback breathing belt worn by the participant, and using novel post-processing techniques, is a reliable method which can be used to differentiate between pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis, and autoimmune pancreatitis. 2. Pancreatic CT perfusion can be used to monitor patients undergoing decompression treatment (endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with stent placement) for painful chronic pancreatitis, and the change in the pancreatic perfusion parameters correlate with the change in the pain parameters (pain scale and analgesic use). 3. Pancreatic CT perfusion parameters can be calculated using surrogate scan data sets at specific time points to replace the continuous scanning.

NCT ID: NCT00583479 Completed - Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trials

Prospective Study of Celiac Block Injection: 1 vs. 2

Start date: June 2002
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to compare the clinical effectiveness of EUS-guided CB performed with a single injection versus two injections of medication into the celiac ganglion region.

NCT ID: NCT00583271 Completed - Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trials

A Prospective Study of EUS Guided Celiac Block

Start date: June 2002
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this prospective study is to measure the clinical effectiveness of EUS-guided CB in subjects, 50 who have chronic pancreatitis and 50 who have pancreatic cancer, that are already undergoing celiac block for clinical reasons.

NCT ID: NCT00560157 Completed - Acute Pancreatitis Clinical Trials

Nutritional and Metabolic Evaluation of a Tube Feeding Immune Enhancing Diet in ICU Patients

Start date: December 2002
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Comparison of metabolic and nutritional effects of an enteral immune enhancing diet with those of a standard polymeric one, in ICU patients

NCT ID: NCT00559364 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Pancreatitis

Safety and Efficacy Study of Viokase® 16 for the Correction of Steatorrhea

Start date: November 2007
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This study assesses the efficacy and safety of Viokase® 16 for the correction of steatorrhea (malabsorption of dietary fats) in patients with a history of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) due to chronic pancreatitis (CP) or pancreatectomy. This study is sponsored by Aptalis Pharma (formerly Axcan).

NCT ID: NCT00534534 Completed - Pancreatitis Clinical Trials

Decrease of Recurrent Pancreatitis

Start date: January 2001
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Retrospective studies have shown, that about half of the patients will have a recurrent episode after the first acute alcoholic pancreatitis. Of the patients in hospital, more than half annually are treated for recurrent acute pancreatitis. Because alcohol has been shown an important factor in the development of recurrent pancreatitis, it was hypothesized, that by attempting intensively to diminish the individual alcohol consumption the number of recurrent pancreatitis could be decreased. Two protocols will be compared: A) initial intervention against alcohol abuse and B) repeated interventions at 6 month intervals.

NCT ID: NCT00523874 Completed - Clinical trials for Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis

Recurrence of Acute Alcoholic Pancreatitis

Start date: January 2001
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Previously our retrospective study showed that almost half of the patients with acute alcoholic pancreatitis had a recurrent attack in the long-term, mild pancreatitis and young age being risk factors for recurrence. The aim of this prospective follow-up study was aimed to find out the risk factors in detail.

NCT ID: NCT00505128 Completed - Clinical trials for Biliary Pancreatitis

Impact on Outcome of Early Endoscopic Extraction of Bile Duct Stones in Biliary Pancreatitis

EEPAB
Start date: July 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Impact on outcome of early endoscopic extraction of bile duct stones in biliary pancreatitis: a prospective multicenter randomized controlled study.

NCT ID: NCT00491023 Completed - Diabetes Clinical Trials

Examining Macrophage Influx and Vascularization in Chronic Pancreatitis

Start date: February 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

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.

NCT ID: NCT00490386 Completed - Pancreatitis, Acute Clinical Trials

Helicobacter Pylori and Acute Alcohol Induced Pancreatitis

Start date: June 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

This study is performed to measure wether Helicobacter Pylori has an effect on the incidence and course of acute alcohol induced pancreatitis
