Trial Endpoints

The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of ANTOX (vers)1.2 and MGCT (Magnesiocard�) compared to placebo in the treatment of pain in patients with hereditary pancreatitis and idiopathic chronic pancreatitis


Primary Outcome

  • Pancreatic pain, defined as the number of days of typical 'pancreatic' pain during one year, calculated by the number of days recorded with any pancreatic pain


Secondary outcomes

  • Intensity of pain recorded using a score (0-10) where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
  • Analgesic consumption assessed using 'morphine equivalents'
  • The number of days spent in hospital due to painful exacerbations of pancreatitis or due to complications arising due to pancreatitis will be obtained from the patient. The clinician responsible for the care of the patient will independently verify this.
  • Quality of Life (QoL) including activities of daily living.
