Pancreatitis clinical trials at UCSF
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Pancreatitis is when the pancreas becomes inflamed. UCSF is studying gene mutations in children by collecting samples like blood and saliva. UCSF hopes to find out why some people are at higher risk for pancreatic cancer.
Biospecimen Collection to Identify Gene Mutations for High Risk Pancreatic Cancer in Pediatric Patients, INSPPIRE 2 Study
open to eligible people ages up to 17 years
This clinical trial collects blood, saliva, urine, or stool samples to help identify possible genetic mutations that may increase a person's chance at developing pancreatic cancer. Finding genetic markers among pediatric patients with acute recurrent pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis may help identify patients who are at risk of pancreatic cancer.
