iMmune SignAtures and Clinical outComes in Acute Pancreatitis: the MoSAIC Study
Ohio State University
Summary
The MoSAIC study is a prospective, observational study designed to develop an early prediction tool for severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and define a distinct immunologic profile compared to moderate acute pancreatitis (MAP). The aims are to validate a new multi-cytokine panel for early prediction of SAP and to identify the specific immune cells that correspond with cytokine signatures in early acute pancreatitis to characterize the immune pathways driving the development of SAP. Participants will provide blood samples and complete patient surveys and interviews within 36 hours of hospital presentation, at 48 hours, and hospital day 7 (if admitted). Data on hospital stay, medical history, clinical course, and severity of disease will be collected.
Description
All participants will sign an informed consent before participating in the study. Adult subjects of both sexes and belonging to all ethnicities will be enrolled. Participants will consent for access to their electronic health records, complete study questionnaires, undergo serial clinical laboratory testing and provide biospecimens during their acute pancreatitis (AP) hospitalization. The research team will access the electronic health records for 5 years from the time of enrollment in the study. The study network is comprised of five academic sites. Four sites will enroll AP patients \[OSU,…
