About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study of Surgical Outcome and Differences on Histopathology in Patients With Alcoholic & Non Alcoholic Chronic Pancreatitis

Numerous treatment modalities have been proposed to treat pain in alcoholic and non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis such as analgesic medication, inhibition of gastric acid production, enzyme substitution, somatostatin analogues, nerve blockade,reduction of oxidative stress and endoscopic pancreatic duct stenting, but none of these concepts have shown long lasting benefits as surgery in clinical studies.Comparison of surgical outcome in non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis and alcoholic chronic pancreatitis has limited data and differences on the basis of outcome in between alcoholic and non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis are not available in literature.

Although it is well known that pain is the main symptom of chronic pancreatitis, it has until now been assessed in very common and varying categories. Pain, however, is only one aspect of the large variety of sensitive facets of daily life. In addition to an improvement in pain symptoms and the preservation of pancreatic exocrine and endocrine function and other parameters, occupational rehabilitation of these mostly young patients and quality of life also should be considered in the evaluation of surgical outcome in alcoholic and non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis.

In this prospective study, we intend to find out if there are any differences in the surgical outcome on the above mentioned parameters in alcoholic and non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis.We also plan to see if there are differences in the histopathology in these two disease settings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of life

    Measured: Within first 6 months from the time of surgery

  2. Differences in extent of parenchymal fibrosis, inflammation and ductal obstruction of alcoholic and non alcoholic chronic pancreatitis

    Measured: Two weeks after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Pain relief

    Measured: Within first 6 months after surgery

  2. HbA1C,Fasting insulin and C-peptide levels

    Measured: Within first 6 months after surgery

  3. Fecal elastase levels

    Measured: Within first 6 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatitis, Chronic, run by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh at 1 site in India.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Nov 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in India. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of life (time frame: Within first 6 months from the time of surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Nov 2014.
