Background And Aims: Enzyme insufficiency (EPI) is common in chronic pancreatitis (CP), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and after pancreatic resection. 40%-50% of CP patients and 70%-80% of PDAC patients develop EPI. 1/3rd of these patients are prescribed Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), often at an inadequate dose, with evidence that this leads to increased morbidity and mortality.

Certepetide (aka LSTA1 and CEND-1) is a novel cyclic tumor-targeting internalizing arginyl glycylaspartic acid peptide being developed to treat solid tumors. Certepetide is designed to overcome existing challenges in treating solid tumors by delivering co-administered anticancer drugs into the tumor while selectively depleting immunosuppressive T cells, enhancing cytotoxic T cells in the tumor microenvironment, and inhibiting the metastatic cascade. A population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was conducted to characterize the concentration-time profile of patients with metastatic exocrine pancreatic cancer receiving certepetide in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine, and to investigate the effects of clinically relevant covariates on PK parameters.

Purpose: Pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) is a rare and aggressive form of pancreatic cancer that originates in the acinar cells of the exocrine pancreas. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical and molecular characteristics of patients with PACC at our institution.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with PACC seen at Mayo Clinic between 2002 and 2023.

Aims: To assess outcomes of oral anti-hyperglycaemic therapies in people with diabetes secondary to a pancreatic condition (type 3c), where specific treatment guidance is limited.
Materials And Methods: Using hospital-linked UK primary care records (Clinical Practice Research Datalink; 2004-2020), we identified 7084 people with a pancreatic condition (acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer and haemochromatosis) preceding diabetes diagnosis (type 3c cohort), initiating oral glucose-lowering therapy (metformin, sulphonylureas, SGLT2-inhibitors, DPP4-inhibitors or thiazolidinediones), and without concurrent insulin treatment. We stratified by pancreatic exocrine insufficiency [PEI] (n = 5917 without PEI, 1167 with PEI) and matched to 97 227 type 2 diabetes (T2D) controls.

An asymptomatic 79-year old woman presented with a 40 mm pancreatic cystic lesion, located in the pancreatic body-tail and consistent with branch-duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (BD-IPMN) without "high risk stigmata". During a 4-year follow-up period, imaging showed no mural nodules or main pancreatic duct dilation, and serum CEA and CA19.9 were within normal range.
