Trial summary

Pancreatitis is a common complication especially in patients with gallbladder stones, most patients with biliary pancreatitis may recover spontaneously without sequelae, but in 10-20% of patients, the disease is severe and mortality rates of up to 30% are detected in these patients.

About this study

Official title: Can we Measure Pancreatitis Severity With Flow Cytometry?

Pancreatitis is a common complication especially in patients with gallbladder stones, most patients with biliary pancreatitis may recover spontaneously without sequelae, but in 10-20% of patients, the disease is severe and mortality rates of up to 30% are detected in these patients. In the evaluation of acute biliary pancreatitis, many scoring systems have been established (Atlanta, Ranson, APACHE, BISAP etc.) from past to present to determine morbidity and mortality of the disease.

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the correlation between morbidity and mortality of acute biliary pancreatitis and lymphocyte subtypes with Flow-cytometry.

Read the detailed description

Pancreatitis is a common complication especially in patients with gallbladder stones, most patients with biliary pancreatitis may recover spontaneously without sequelae, but in 10-20% of patients, the disease is severe and mortality rates of up to 30% are detected in these patients. In patients with severe pancreatitis, aggressive fluid replacement, organ damage follow-up, appropriate antibiotherapy, and endoscopic sphincterotomy and radiological interventions may be of great benefit. In the evaluation of acute biliary pancreatitis, many scoring systems have been established (Atlanta, Ranson, APACHE, BISAP etc.) from past to present to determine morbidity and mortality of the disease. There are limited number of studies in the literature about the immune parameters in the evaluation of acute pancreatitis. In a studies, serum inflammatory markers such as IL-1, IL-6 and CD4, CD8 T lymphocyte and Treg population were evaluated.Treg cells are reported to be an independent prognostic factor in determining the severity of acute pancreatitis. In patients diagnosed with acute biliary pancreatitis, determination of the course of the disease at the time of diagnosis is extremely important for treatment and survival.

In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the correlation between morbidity and mortality of acute biliary pancreatitis with lymphocyte subtypes via Flow-cytometry.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pancreatitis and Lymphocytic Infiltrate, run by Istanbul Training and Research Hospital at 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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 3 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Lymphocyte subtypes 1 (time frame: 9 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04502940, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 3 May 2021.
