Healthy volunteers help map normal pancreatic fluid
NCT ID NCT07285863
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study aims to collect and analyze pancreatic fluid from 24 healthy adults after giving them a synthetic hormone called secretin. The secretin is injected during an endoscopic ultrasound to stimulate the pancreas to release fluid, which is then collected from the duodenum. Researchers will measure levels of bicarbonate, sodium, potassium, and chloride to better understand normal pancreatic fluid composition. This knowledge may help improve diagnosis and monitoring of pancreatic diseases like chronic pancreatitis.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- human secretin (CHIROSTIM)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help establish normal ranges for pancreatic fluid components, improving diagnosis of pancreatic conditions like chronic pancreatitis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study in healthy volunteers, not a treatment trial. Results may not directly apply to patients with pancreatic disease.
