Cedars-Sinai Chronic Pancreatitis Clinical Research Consortium
Official title: Cedars Sinai Center for the Chronic Pancreatitis Clinical Research Consortium
Funded at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center · NIH-11216446 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This program follows people with chronic pancreatitis, pancreatitis-related diabetes, and pancreatic cancer to learn about causes, early signs, and better treatments.

Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Adults and children with chronic pancreatitis, people with pancreatitis-related diabetes (type 3c), or those at high risk for pancreatic cancer are the primary candidates.
✕Less likely to help
People without pancreatic disease or those needing urgent clinical care unrelated to pancreatitis are unlikely to receive direct benefit from participation.
What this research studies
If you join, you would be enrolled in long-term cohort studies (PROCEED for adults and INSPPIRE 2 for children) where doctors collect your medical history, samples, and clinical data over time. The team runs additional studies using genetics, epidemiology, and biomarkers to find early warning signs and explain disease mechanisms. The center emphasizes keeping participants in follow-up so researchers can track disease progression and outcomes. Some participants may also be invited to treatment trials or asked to provide samples for laboratory research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could lead to earlier diagnosis and more personalized, effective treatments for people with chronic pancreatitis and related pancreatic conditions.
How similar studies have gone: Previous consortium efforts (CPDPC/CPCRC) have produced useful findings on genetics, natural history, and biomarkers, though wider clinical benefits are still being developed.
