Can a 1,500-Patient biobank unlock the secrets of chronic pancreatitis?
NCT ID NCT07770412
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study will follow 1,500 adults with chronic pancreatitis for several years, collecting health data and biological samples like blood, stool, and bile. The goal is to track how the disease changes over time, especially in those undergoing ERCP treatment, and to identify factors linked to complications or pancreatic cancer. By building a detailed biobank, researchers hope to improve future diagnosis and care for this condition.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- This research could lead to better ways to monitor chronic pancreatitis, predict complications, and improve treatment decisions for ERCP procedures.
- What could go wrong
- As an observational study, it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all patients, and long-term follow-up may be challenging.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 years, with no sex restrictions. * Meets the diagnostic criteria for chronic pancreatitis, with a definitive diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis based on imaging, pathology, or pancreatic function tests; * Receiving medical care at the study center and willing to accept long-term follow-up management. * Able to cooperate with baseline data collection and scheduled follow-ups. * Provided written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Concomitant malignancies. * Concurrent severe systemic diseases with an expected life expectancy of \< 1 year. * History of major pancreatic resection or pancreaticoduodenectomy. * History of major gastrointestinal surgery. * Pregnant or lactating population. * Severe psychiatric disorders, cognitive dysfunction, or assessed by the investigator as having extremely poor compliance, rendering the participant unable to complete the scheduled follow-up plan. * Other relevant conditions deemed by the investigator as potentially affecting the study results or compromising participant safety.
