The following are the study hypothesis:
- Secretin administration compared to placebo will result in a statistically significantly greater percentage of collected fluid samples being predominantly of exocrine pancreas origin when samples are duodenal aspirates.
- Secretin administration compared to placebo will result in a statistically significantly greater percentage of collected fluid samples meeting the minimum specifications for use in the indicated laboratory test of DNA mutational analysis.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Documented or suspected diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis or suspected diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
- Undergoing Endoscopic Procedure.
- Age ≥ 18 years.
- Willing and able to sign informed consent, meeting IRB guidelines.
- Willing and able to meet all study requirements and obligations.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Ongoing, active pancreatitis at the time of the procedure.
- Known adverse reaction to secretin.
- Recent (within one month) use of medication that can potentially cause pancreatitis, such as metronidazole, tetracycline, sulfonamides.
- Use of anticholinergic medication within 7 days of study.
- Pregnant women, nursing mothers, or women of childbearing potential not employing appropriate contraception. Acceptable methods of birth control are: intrauterine device, implantable progesterone device, progesterone intramuscular injection, oral contraceptive (started at least one month prior to Visit 1 and continuing for the duration of the trial), contraceptive patch, condoms with spermicide or abstinence.
- Any medical condition which in the judgment of the Principal Investigator makes participation of the patient in the study medically unwarranted.
- Known complete obstruction of the pancreatic duct.
- Patients who have received an investigational product/drug or device within 30 days prior to Visit 1.
