Phase N/A
INSPPIRE 2 Study Summary

This study is designed to collect samples like blood, saliva, urine, or stool from children to look for gene changes (mutations) that might raise their chances of getting pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is a serious disease that affects the pancreas, an organ that helps with digestion and regulating blood sugar. The study focuses on children with acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP), which means they have had episodes of inflamed pancreas that go away and then come back, and chronic pancreatitis (CP), which means their pancreas is constantly inflamed and damaged. Over four years, children will answer questions about their quality of life for 2 hours every year and provide samples. After the study, follow-ups happen yearly.

  • Eligible children must be under 18 and have ARP or CP.
  • Participants' parents must agree to share their child's health information.
  • The study requires a yearly visit for four years.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
