Clinical Trial: Integrating Plasma Metagenomics and Host Response for Accurate Diagnosis of Infected Pancreatic Necrosis in a Prospective Multicenter Cohort of Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis

U.S., Dec. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07308600) titled 'Integrating Plasma Metagenomics and Host Response for Accurate Diagnosis of Infected Pancreatic Necrosis in a Prospective Multicenter Cohort of Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis' on Dec. 04.

Brief Summary: This study is being done to find a faster and more accurate way to tell whether the necrosis in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) has become infected. In the absence of microbiological confirmation, clinicians often have to initiate empirical antibiotic therapy for suspected pancreatic infection-a practice supported by current guidelines but one that may contribute to antimicrobial resistance. In this study, we will ...
