Effects of DP-b99 in subjects with high risk acute pancreatitis on • Safety • Early clinical outcome (preliminary data) |
|

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
• Male or female subject. • Age 18 years or higher. • First in a lifetime episode of acute pancreatitis. • Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis based on 2 of the following 3 criteria: - Typical upper abdominal pain. - Elevation of serum amylase and/or lipase 3 times the upper limit of normal. - Contrast-material enhanced CT scan or abdominal sonogram demonstrating changes of acute pancreatitis. • History supporting alcoholic, hypertriglyceridemic or biliary etiology of the current pancreatitis episode (for biliary pancreatitis, a sonogram must exclude a stone obstruction at the time of study screening). • BISAP score >= 3. • Study treatment initiation is possible within 48 h of symptom onset. • Ability to provide informed consent. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
• Drug-induced, viral, hereditary or post-ERCP pancreatitis. • Recurrent episode of pancreatitis. • CT evidence of pancreatic necrosis at study entry. • Imaging evidence of physical obstruction of the common bile duct at study entry; e.g. for abdominal sonogram, stone(s) in the common bile duct or common bile duct having diameter > 6 mm (above 80 years, > 8 mm) with gallbladder in situ. • Severe chronic renal failure (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula <= 30mL/min or dependency on renal dialysis). • High likelihood for an invasive intra-biliary tract intervention (e.g. ERCP) in the coming week. • Class II or greater NYHA heart failure. • Oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). • Cirrhosis of the liver. • Severe anemia (hemoglobin < 8 g/dL). • Hematocrit < 35% or > 45% at study entry (fluids may be administered to correct the hematocrit before randomisation as long as study treatment starts within 48 hours of symptoms onset). • Serum ALT >250 IU/L at study entry. • Clinical suspicion of ascending cholangitis at study entry. • Active gastrointestinal bleeding. • Current malignancy not in remission (other than basal cell carcinoma of skin). • Altered mental status. • Current breast feeding or pregnancy. • Female of childbearing potential (< 2 years postmenopausal or not surgically sterilized) who is not willing to use adequate and effective birth control measures (failure rate less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly (e.g., implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence, or a vasectomized partner)) for the duration of the trial. • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the investigational product. • Dependent relationship with the investigator or the sponsor. • Participation in an investigational drug study during this clinical trial or within 30 days prior to start of this study. |
