Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) works to treat idiopathic recurrent pancreatitis (IRAP) in adults. It also clarify the efficacy of ERCP in the diagnosis of IRAP. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ERCP reduce the frequency of pancreatitis episodes in IRAP patients? Does ERCP contribute to identify the etiology of IRAP patients? Participants will be randomly allocated to receive ERCP (pancreatic sphincterotomy and pancreatic stent placement) or conservative treatment and be followed for 1 year.
The goal of this observational cohort study is to learn about the etiology, natural course, therapeutic effect and outcome of recurrent acute pancreatitis patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Does endoscopic intervention, surgery or conservative treatment reduce the recurrence of acute pancreatitis? What are the risk factors affecting the recurrence of acute pancreatitis? Patients will be closely followed and clinical information will be recorded.
This clinical will evaluate the safety, tolerability and early efficacy of pirenidone in patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis.
Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) was defined as two or more occurrences of acute pancreatitis, which was associated with higher percentages of morbidities and mortalities, lower patients' life quality and increased health-care costs. Current interventions, including cholecystectomy and abstain from drinking were reported to be effective methods for preventing the recurrences of biliary and alcoholic etiologies, respectively. However, there were no effective preventions for other etiologies, such as idiopathic etiologies. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), including indomethacin, diclofenac and aspirin could inhibiting the inflammatory cascade of pancreatitis. In this study, we aimed at exploring the effects of 100mg aspirin on reducing the occurrences of recurrent acute pancreatitis.
The purpose of this pilot study to examine the feasibility and acceptability of simvastatin in adults with Recurrent Acute Pancreatitis (RAP) and Chronic Pancreatitis (CP).
This phase I/II trial assesses the safety and effectiveness of total pancreatectomy with islet cell autotransplantation for the treatment of patients with long-term pancreatic inflammation (chronic pancreatitis) and non-cancerous (benign) pancreatic tumors. Total removal of the pancreas (pancreatectomy) can be used to treat chronic pancreatitis, but it may result in diabetes. An islet cell autotransplantation involves removing cells from a patient's pancreas (the islet cells) and infusing them into the liver. Islet cells are responsible for producing hormones like insulin, reducing the occurrence of diabetes in patients undergoing total pancreatectomy. Total pancreatectomy with autologous islet cell transplant is an accepted and Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for patients with chronic pancreatitis. However, patients with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic tumors have historically not been candidates for this procedure due to concerns of spreading potentially cancerous cells to other parts of the body. This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of this treatment in patients with chronic pancreatitis and benign pancreatic tumors.
Recurrence of acute pancreatitis (AP) is often facilitated by regular alcohol consumption and smoking. An applied lifestyle intervention focusing on the cessation of alcohol consumption and smoking might prevent the recurrence of AP. REAPPEAR Study is a randomized controlled trial and a cohort study focusing on the efficacy of the lifestyle intervention and the effect of quitting alcohol and smoking respectively.
The therapeutic impact of ERCP with sphincterotomy in the management of patients with idiopathic recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) needs further study. The investigators conducted a single center, feasibility, randomized trial to determine 1) the role of pancreatic manometry in predicting future episodes of RAP and 2) differences in the efficacy of no, biliary (BES) or pancreatobiliary (dual) endoscopic sphincterotomy (DES).
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.
