Efferon LPS hemoadsorption with hemofiltration for acute pancreatitis
Official title: Lipopolysaccharide Adsorption (Efferon LPS) in Patients With Acute Pancreatitis
Run by Efferon JSC · NCT07267169 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether adding Efferon LPS hemoadsorption to hemofiltration/hemodiafiltration helps patients with moderate-to-severe acute pancreatitis reduce organ dysfunction.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients within five days of pancreatitis onset with moderate or severe disease by the 2012 Atlanta criteria, CT-confirmed pancreatitis with modified CTSI ≥4, APACHE II >8, and either SOFA ≥2 or at least two SIRS criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with SOFA >12, uncontrolled surgical infection, septic complications, exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, very high triglycerides (>1000 mg/dL), advanced cirrhosis, or other listed exclusions are unlikely to benefit or are excluded from participation.

What this trial studies
This interventional study compares standard hemofiltration/hemodiafiltration (HF/HDF) alone to HF/HDF combined with Efferon LPS multimodal hemoadsorption in patients with moderate-to-severe acute pancreatitis. Participants are assigned to a control group (HF/HDF alone) or a treatment group (HF/HDF plus Efferon LPS) and therapy is started within 24 hours of ICU admission and within 8 hours of enrollment. The main outcome is change in organ dysfunction measured by the SOFA score, and safety endpoints are collected alongside efficacy measures. The Efferon LPS device targets both cytokines and lipopolysaccharide to reduce systemic inflammation that can drive multiple organ dysfunction.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, adding Efferon LPS could reduce the severity of organ dysfunction and may lower ICU stays and mortality in severe acute pancreatitis.
How similar studies have gone: Hemoadsorption and extracorporeal blood-purification approaches have shown promising but mixed results in sepsis and inflammatory conditions, and their application to acute pancreatitis is plausible but not yet proven.
