Pentoxifylline Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis
Pentoxifylline Treatment in Acute Pancreatitis; A Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Randomized Trial

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Subjects will be put in one of two groups by chance (as in the flip of a coin). This is done so that neither you nor the investigator will know which group you are in.
You will be put into either the treatment group or the control group.
- The treatment group will receive a drug called pentoxifylline
- The control group will receive a placebo (matching pill that has no medication in it) You will take the pills by mouth starting from the time of admission. You will receive a total of 9 doses over the first three days of your hospitalization (72 hours).
When subject have standard patient care blood draws, additional blood will be taken to do the research tests. The additional blood tests will be done every day for up to 5 days, after the administration of study drug or till the time of discharge whichever occurs earlier. The additional tests will require about 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of blood per day; the maximum amount of extra blood taken would be less than 3 tablespoons (40.0 ml). Information from your medical record will be gathered while you are hospitalized and after your discharge. The study will continue to gather clinical follow up information up to four months.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in C-Reactive Protein (CRP)
Time Frame: baseline, Day 1, Day 3
|
C-reactive protein is produced by the liver.
The level of CRP rises when there is inflammation throughout the body.
The normal value range for CRP = 1-10 mg/L.
|
baseline, Day 1, Day 3
|
Change in Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF)-Alpha
Time Frame: baseline, Day 1, Day 3
|
Normal value range for TNF alpha = 0 - 22 pg/ml.
|
baseline, Day 1, Day 3
|
Change in Interleukin (IL) IL-6
Time Frame: baseline, Day 1, Day 3
|
Normal value range for IL-6 = 0 - 5 pg/ml.
|
baseline, Day 1, Day 3
|
Changes in Interleukin (IL) IL-8
Time Frame: baseline, Day 1, Day 3
|
Normal value range for IL-8 = 0 - 5 pg/ml.
|
baseline, Day 1, Day 3
