New diagnostic tool aims to end pancreatitis misdiagnosis
NCT ID NCT07536841
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new scoring system called OC26 to help doctors more accurately diagnose autoimmune pancreatitis, a condition where the immune system attacks the pancreas. Researchers will review medical data from 82 adults suspected of having the disease. If the OC26 criteria prove reliable, they could help distinguish autoimmune pancreatitis from other pancreatic conditions like cancer, leading to better treatment decisions.
