First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tests whether simvastatin, a common cholesterol medication, can improve quality of life in adults with recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis. Researchers will enroll 90 participants to check if the drug is feasible and acceptable. The goal is to see if it helps with symptoms like pain and sleep, not to cure the disease.
