About this study

Official title: Study of Influence of Chronic Pancreatitis Severity Degree With Possible Complication of Pancreatic External Secretory Insufficiency on Intestinal Microbiota Composition Patterns

Assessment of qualitative and quantitative composition of the intestinal microbiota in patients with CP; in patients with CP and PEI complication of mild to severe degree; patients with CP and PEI who underwent surgical intervention on the pancreas. Intergroup comparison of the microbial compositional characteristics and their analysis. Correction of enzyme replacement therapy in selected groups of patients with regard to the identified microbial characteristics. Assessment of the intestinal microbiota composition in dynamics after 6 (+1) months on the background of allocated therapy

Being tested
enzyme replacement therapy
Medical subject headings
Pancreatitis, Chronic, Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency

What is being measured

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

  1. Genetic study of fecal samples of patients with CP

    Fecal samples of patients with CP from selected patient groups with/without PEI meet inclusion criteria will undergo 16s rRNA gene sequencing for further comparative intergroup analysis of the obtained data.

    Measured: 1 week

  2. Genetic study of fecal samples of patients with CP

    Fecal samples of patients with CP from selected patient groups with/without PEI meet inclusion criteria will undergo 16s rRNA gene sequencing for further comparative intergroup analysis of the obtained data.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Analysis of intestinal microbiota composition of patients with CP receiving 40,000 units of pancreatin per meal per day

    Analysis of intestinal microbiota composition of patients with CP from selected patient groups with/without PEI receiving adequate dosage of enzyme replacement therapy: 40,000 units of pancreatin per meal per day

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Analysis of intestinal microbiota composition of patients with CP receiving inadequate dosage of pancreatin per meal per day

    Analysis of intestinal microbiota composition of patients with CP from selected patient groups with/without PEI receiving inadequate dosage of enzyme replacement therapy: (less then adequate dosage) of pancreatin per meal per day

    Measured: 6 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis and Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency, run by Federal Research and Clinical Center of Physical-Chemical Medicine at 2 sites in Russia.

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 7 inclusion and 16 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 24 Nov 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 Russia. 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?

Genetic study of fecal samples of patients with CP (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 4 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 24 Nov 2021.
