Classification and Comparison of Early-onset and Late-onset Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis and Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

Unknown status

Trial summary

Classification of early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (EOICP) and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (LOICP) was proposed based on bimodal distribution of age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP). However, studies of larger populations prove it may be normal distribution. Read more about this study

About this study

Classification of early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (EOICP) and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (LOICP) was proposed based on bimodal distribution of age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP). However, studies of larger populations prove it may be normal distribution. Therefore, the aim of the study is to find what the distribution of age at onset of ICP is and whether the classification of EOICP and LOICP is meaningful.

Read the detailed description

Idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (ICP) patients admitted to the investigator's center from January 2000 to December 2013 were enrolled. Characteristics were compared between early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (EOICP) and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (LOICP) patients. Cumulative rates of diabetes mellitus, steatorrhea, pancreatic stone, pancreatic pseudocyst (PPC), biliary stricture, and pancreatic cancer after the onset and the diagnosis of ICP were calculated, respectively. Different cut-off values for age at onset of ICP were set to classify EOICP and LOICP. Then differences of clinical courses between EOICP and LOICP were compared when classified by distinct cut-off values.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Distribution of age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis

    Identify the distribution of age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: December 31, 2013

  2. Basic characteristics of early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis

    Identify respective ratio of patients with male gender and patients with smoking history in early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis in traditional classification (traditional classification: age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis<35 years old as early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis; age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis>35 years old as late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis).

    Measured: December 31, 2013

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Basic characteristics of early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis with different cut-off values for age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis

    Identify respective ratio of patients with male gender and patients with smoking history in early-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis with different cut-off values for age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: August 31, 2019

  2. Diabetes mellitus

    Evaluate incidence and cumulative incidence of endocrine insufficiency developed in early-onset and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis patients with different cut-off values for age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: August 31, 2019

  3. Steatorrhea

    Evaluate incidence and cumulative incidence of exocrine insufficiency developed in early-onset and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis patients with different cut-off values for age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: August 31, 2019

  4. Pancreatic pseudocyst

    Evaluate incidence and cumulative incidence of pancreatic pseudocyst developed in early-onset and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis patients with different cut-off values for age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: August 31, 2019

  5. Common bile duct stricture

    Evaluate incidence and cumulative incidence of common bile duct stricture developed in early-onset and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis patients with different cut-off values for age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: August 31, 2019

  6. Pancreatic cancer

    Evaluate incidence and cumulative incidence of pancreatic cancer developed in early-onset and late-onset idiopathic chronic pancreatitis patients with different cut-off values for age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis.

    Measured: August 31, 2019

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Pancreatitis and Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis, run by Changhai Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Distribution of age at onset of idiopathic chronic pancreatitis (time frame: December 31, 2013). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Sep 2019.
