Project Summary/Abstract This application is for an administrative supplement to support our participation in the Consortium for the Study of Chronic Pancreatitis, Diabetes and Pancreas Cancer (CPDPC). It will specifically enable the Stanford Clinical Center to continue its productive recruitment of patients into 3 key clinical studies of the consortium – 1) Prospective Evaluation of Chronic Pancreatitis for Epidemiologic and Translational Studies (PROCEED), 2) Pediatric Longitudinal Cohort Study of Chronic Pancreatitis [The International Study Group of Pediatric Pancreatitis: In Search for a Cure (INSPPIRE2), and 3) Evaluation of a mixed meal test for Diagnosis and characterization of Pancreaticogenic Diabetes secondary to pancreatic cancer and chronic pancreatitis (DETECT). These funds will support patient related costs in enrollment and fulfilling protocol-defined tasks including the collection and processing of biospecimens for each protocol.
