What this research studies
If you join at UPMC, you would be followed by a team of doctors and researchers who focus on recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis and diabetes that comes from pancreatic disease. You may be asked about your medical history, have clinical exams, and give blood or other samples so researchers can study biological markers and disease patterns. Your information and samples would contribute to a national consortium that combines data from many centers to improve understanding. From time to time you might be invited to join additional ancillary studies that look for causes, biomarkers, or potential treatments.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates are people with recurrent acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, or diabetes that developed after pancreatic disease, and sometimes healthy volunteers for comparison.
Not a fit: People without pancreatic disease or those seeking immediate treatment effects may not get direct, immediate benefit because the center focuses on research and long-term improvements.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could lead to better ways to diagnose, prevent, and manage pancreatitis and diabetes related to pancreatic disease.
How similar studies have performed: Other consortium-based cohort studies have already identified risk factors and biomarkers for pancreatic disease, so this collaborative approach has produced useful findings though more discoveries are needed.
