Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 70 years
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with CP, AC pr RAP who are not: 1. Pregnant or lactating patients 2. Contraindications to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or endoscopic ultrasound 3. Known chronic liver disease, chronic renal failure, malignancy, chronic inflammatory bowel syndrome, chronic obstructive lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis. 4.

About this study

Official title: Characterization of Fibro-inflammation During Progression From Acute to Chronic Pancreatitis

Observational prospective study evaluating the developement of chronic pancreatitis based on imaging modalities as well as biochemical markers of inflammation, fibrosis and oxidative stress.

Read the detailed description

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) represents the end-stage of a continuous disease process evolving from acute pancreatitis (AP), over recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP). Due to the irreversible nature of CP, early detection and prevention is key. The study uses state-of-the-art imaging modalities as well as biochemical markers of to evaluate fibrosis progression in patients with pancreatitis.

The included participants have either first time AP, RAP, early CP with preserved pancreatic exocrine and endocrine function or end-stage CP with exocrine insufficiency. Included patients will be followed prospectively for 15 years with advanced MRI and contrast enhanced EUS with elastography, assessment of endocrine and exocrine pancreatic function, biochemical and nutritional assessment, and evaluation of pain processing using quantitative sensory testing. Blood for a biobank will be obtained. The purpose of the biobank is to allow analyses of potential biomarkers for the progression of disease eventually leading to CP.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Diagnostic imagingDiagnostic test

    Also called MRI and EUS

    MRI assessments including magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) combined with gold standard EUS

Study groups in NCT03853447
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Diagnostic imagingThe progression of fibrosis will be assessed based on diagnostic imaging of thre subgroups including Patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP; N=50) of any aetiology, except gallstones, based on MANNHEIM. Patients with their first attack of acute pancreatitis (AP; N=50) of any aetiology except gallstones using the revised Atlanta criteria for AP. Patients with recurrent AP (RAP; N=50) except gallstones, defined as two or more cases of AP as diagnosed by the revised Atlanta Criteria.
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Diagnostic imaging

What is being measured

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

  1. Fibrosis progression on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Progression of fibrosis in the pancreas based on either EUS or MRI

    Measured: 15 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Lean body mass assessed using bioimpedance

    Body composition focusing on lean body mass will be assessed using bioimpedance

    Measured: 15 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatitis and Acute Pancreatitis, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre at 3 sites in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 0 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Denmark. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Srdan Novovic, PhD (38623862, srdan.novovic@regionh.dk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Fibrosis progression on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (time frame: 15 years). 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 8 Apr 2020.
