Can a single infusion prevent organ failure in severe pancreatitis?
NCT ID NCT07803965
First seen Sep 04, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026
Summary
This trial tests an experimental drug called SGC001 in people who are likely to develop severe acute pancreatitis, a painful inflammation of the pancreas that can lead to organ failure. Participants receive either SGC001 or a placebo as a single intravenous infusion alongside standard care. The study checks the drug's safety, how the body processes it, and whether it helps keep organs working. The trial has two parts: the first focuses on finding a safe dose, and the second looks at whether the drug reduces days with organ failure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SGC001 injection, an experimental drug given as a single intravenous infusion
- What this could lead to
- If it works, SGC001 could become an add-on treatment to prevent organ failure in people with predicted severe acute pancreatitis, reducing the need for intensive care.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase IIa trial with a small number of participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe. The main risks are side effects from the infusion, and the results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Aged 18 to 75 years inclusive, with no restriction on gender 2. Meet the diagnostic criteria for acute pancreatitis (AP) specified in the IAP Guidelines for the Management of Acute Pancreatitis (2025 Revision), i.e., satisfying at least two of the following three criteria: Clinical criterion: Acute epigastric abdominal pain; Biochemical criterion: Elevated pancreatic enzymes (serum lipase or amylase level more than 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)); Imaging criterion: Abdominal imaging examination (computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound) demonstrating findings consistent with acute pancreatic inflammation, with or without necrosis. 3. Meet the manifestations of predicted severe acute pancreatitis (AP) Exclusion Criteria: 1. The exact onset time of abdominal pain cannot be accurately determined. 2. History of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) performed within 7 days prior to screening; 3. Received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or renal replacement therapy prior to admission; 4. Requirement for emergency surgery, ERCP, ECMO, renal replacement therapy or plasma exchange immediately upon admission; 5. Having a known medical history of severe cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, hepatic, hematological or immune diseases; 6. Subjects with current malignancy or a prior history of malignant tumors, except for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder tumors or carcinoma in situ of the cervix that have been cured for at least 5 years. 7. Subjects suffering from severe psychiatric disorders, cognitive impairment caused by severe social environmental factors, or any other conditions that the investigator judges may lead to poor protocol compliance or expose the subject to additional safety risks during the trial. 8. Administration of live vaccines within 1 month prior to screening; 9. Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding; female subjects of childbearing potential who have had unprotected sexual intercourse within 1 month prior to screening, or with a positive pregnancy test at screening; subjects (or their partners) who plan to conceive, donate sperm or oocytes throughout the study period and within 6 months after study completion; subjects who refuse to use one or more effective contraceptive methods during the study and for 6 months following the end of the study.
