Chronic Pancreatitis Understanding
Chronic Pancreatitis: Overview
Chronic pancreatitis is an irreversible and progressive disorder of the pancreas characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, and scarring. Exocrine and endocrine functions are lost, often leading to chronic pain. The etiology is multifactorial, although alcoholism is the most significant risk factor in adults. The average age at diagnosis is 35 to 55 years. Chronic pancreatitis is a permanent, progressive destruction of pancreatic tissue and function. Clinical manifestations include disabling abdominal pain, steatorrhea, and diabetes mellitus.
Symptoms
Early symptoms of chronic pancreatitis are similar to acute pancreatitis. Symptoms are occasional and include:
- Pain in the upper belly that spreads into the back
- Pain in the belly that gets worse when person drinks alcohol
- Diarrhea or oily stools
- Nausea and vomiting
- Severe belly (abdominal) pain that may be constant or that comes back
- Weight loss
Diagnosis
If chronic pancreatitis is suspected, contrast-enhanced computed tomography is the best imaging modality for diagnosis. Computed tomography may be inconclusive in early stages of the disease, so other modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, or endoscopic ultrasonography with or without biopsy may be used.
Treatment
Recommended lifestyle modifications include cessation of alcohol and tobacco use and eating small, frequent, low-fat meals. Although narcotics and antidepressants provide the most pain relief, one-half of patients eventually require surgery. Therapeutic endoscopy is indicated to treat symptomatic strictures, stones, and pseudocysts. Decompressive surgical procedures, such as lateral pancreaticojejunostomy, are indicated for large duct disease (pancreatic ductal dilation of 7 mm or more). Resection procedures, such as the Whipple procedure, are indicated for small duct disease or pancreatic head enlargement.
Chronic Pancreatitis Emerging Drugs
- NI-03: Kangen Pharmaceuticals, Inc
Kangen Pharmaceuticals is conducting a phase 1, single dose PK and safety study with NI-03 followed by a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group dose-ranging study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NI-03 when compared to placebo in subjects with Chronic Pancreatitis. The primary objective of the Single-Dose Phase is to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of single doses of NI-03 when administered at doses of 100 mg, 200 mg or 300 mg to subjects with chronic pancreatitis. The primary objective of the Double-Blind Phase of the study is to determine the efficacy, PK and safety of three doses of NI-03 (100 mg, 200 mg and 300 mg) as compared to placebo when administered three times daily (TID) for 28 consecutive days in subjects with chronic pancreatitis.

- August 2020: CT Pharmaceutical Solutions to add chronic pancreatitis condition to medical marijuana program
Individuals suffering from chronic pancreatitis may soon be able to access Connecticut's medical marijuana program. The program's board of physicians, which is charged with advising the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection (DCP) on potential additions of debilitating conditions, last week in a virtual meeting recommended that chronic pancreatitis be added to the program for adults, and for patients under 18 "whose pain is recalcitrant to standard medical management."
