Detailed Description

Management of pancreatic disorders imparts a major burden on healthcare costs, estimated at over 3 billion dollars annually. Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by chronic inflammation and progressive scarring, leading to abdominal pain, irreversible damage to the pancreas and the loss of both exocrine and endocrine function. Additionally, chronic pancreatic inflammation is a risk factor for pancreas cancer. There are no current treatments to modify the natural history of this disorder. Thus, identifying novel therapeutic options for this disease represents a high priority, and could fill an unmet medical need to improve quality of life, reduce risk of malignant transformation, and limit exorbitant medical costs associated with patient care. The investigators have assembled a multi-disciplinary research team to pursue an alternative, non-pharmacologic approach to limiting inflammatory cascades in (Chronic Pancreatitis) CP patients. They will assess compliance, toxicity and measure the changes in pro-inflammatory cytokine expression from a soy based dietary bread product using a classic 3+3 dose escalation study design in subjects with chronic pancreatitis.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

    1. Presence of pancreatic calcifications
    2. Suggestive for chronic pancreatitis - consistent EUS criteria or at least 3 abnormal side branches on pancreatic duct imaging
    3. Indeterminate EUS findings for chronic pancreatitis with evidence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI)
  2. Age ≥18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Inability to provide written consent
  2. Inability to comply with the study protocol
  3. Soy allergy
  4. Pancreatic cancer
  5. History of prior pancreatic surgery (this does not include endoscopic therapies)
  6. Comorbid diseases characterized by a chronic inflammatory state, including, but not limited to rheumatologic diseases, chronic kidney disease, extra-pancreatic malignancy

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Non-Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Dose Escalation (DE) Phase
Here a traditional 3+3 design will be used to determine the compliance, tolerability and dose limiting toxicities in this unique patient population. Dose escalation with soy bread will be continued until dose-limiting toxicities are observed in >33% of the participants or the daily target dose of 4 slices of bread [132 mg soy isoflavone] is reached.
Dietary supplement: Soy bread
Soy breads will be produced using a sponge-dough process. Finished dough will be formed, panned, and proofed in proofing cabinet (~95% RH) at 40ºC for 60 minutes. Proofed loaves will be baked for 50 minutes at 150ºC in a convection oven (jet air oven, model: JA14, Doyon, Liniere, Quebec, Canada). Breads will be considered done at an internal temperature of 95 ± 5ºC.
Other Names:
  • Soy Isoflavones
Experimental: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Phase
After the Phase I study has been completed, an additional 10 chronic pancreatitis patients will be treated at the best tolerated dose of soy bread for 4 weeks to further verify safety and toxicity.
Dietary supplement: Soy bread
Soy breads will be produced using a sponge-dough process. Finished dough will be formed, panned, and proofed in proofing cabinet (~95% RH) at 40ºC for 60 minutes. Proofed loaves will be baked for 50 minutes at 150ºC in a convection oven (jet air oven, model: JA14, Doyon, Liniere, Quebec, Canada). Breads will be considered done at an internal temperature of 95 ± 5ºC.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Dose Limiting Toxicities
Time Frame: 1 (dose escalation groups) or 4 (maximally tolerated dose) weeks
Participants were evaluated for the development of bothersome symptoms that prevented them from being able to complete the recommended intervention course. Counts represent number of subjects who developed a symptom that prevented the ability to complete the dose/study period.
1 (dose escalation groups) or 4 (maximally tolerated dose) weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pro-inflammatory Cytokines
Time Frame: 1 (dose escalation group) or 4 weeks (maximally tolerated subject)
Changes in the serum were assessed for TNF-alpha prior to and following introduction of soy bread
1 (dose escalation group) or 4 weeks (maximally tolerated subject)
