Soy-and-tomato diet to lower inflammation in chronic pancreatitis
A dietary intervention clinical trial to reduce inflammation and improve outcomes in chronic pancreatitis
This project gives people with chronic pancreatitis a soy-and-tomato drink to lower inflammation and help improve nutrition and symptoms.

What this research studies
If you join, you'll drink a specially developed soy-tomato juice for a set period while researchers collect blood and health information. They will measure inflammatory markers, immune cell activity, and nutritional and metabolic outcomes to see whether inflammation falls. The team has already tested this soy-tomato juice in healthy volunteers and found it to be safe, tolerable, and absorbed into the body. The aim is to find a simple dietary approach that could reduce harmful inflammation and the complications of chronic pancreatitis.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis who can drink the soy-tomato beverage and provide blood samples would be ideal candidates.
Not a fit: People with soy or tomato allergies, or who cannot safely consume the drink, are unlikely to benefit from this project.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this dietary drink could reduce inflammation, improve nutritional health, and lower complications for people with chronic pancreatitis.
How similar studies have performed: Previous small studies showed the soy-tomato drink was safe and affected blood markers in healthy volunteers, but testing its effects in chronic pancreatitis is a new step.
