About this study

Official title: The Impact of Genetic and Environmental Factors on the Progression of Chronic Pancreatitis:An Observational Study

To explore the impact on genetic and environmental factors for clinical manifestation, and the progression of chronic pancreatitis, including development of pancreatic insufficiency and other complications.

Read the detailed description

The present study was an observational study aimed to explore the impact of genetic factors (rare pathogenic variants of CP) and environmental factors(smoking and alcohol assumption) on the clinical manifestation and progression of CP. The observation items included the pain patterns, incidence of complications of CP, pancreatic cancer and death.

Being tested
smoking and alcohol assumption, genetic sequencing
Medical subject headings
Pancreatitis, Chronic, Tobacco Smoking, Alcohol Drinking

What participants receive

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

  • smoking and alcohol assumptionBehavioural

    documenting the change of smoking and drinking status during the follow-up period

  • genetic sequencingDiagnostic test

    sequencing the susceptibility genes for CP, including serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1, cationic trypsinogen, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator, chymotrypsin C, etc.

What is being measured

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

  1. the Number of Patients Developing Pancreatic Insufficiency

    The primary endpoint was the number of patients developing pancreatic insufficiency, categorised as 1) diabetes and steatorrhea, 2) diabetes only, or 3) steatorrhea only.

    Measured: 10 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Death

    all-cause death

    Measured: 20 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis and Genetic Mutation, run by Changhai Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Nov 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

the Number of Patients Developing Pancreatic Insufficiency (time frame: 10 years). 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 NCT04574297, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Nov 2021.
