Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) studied
autoimmune pancreatitis
Intervention(s)
Prednisolone at a dose of 10mg/day is started. The dose is taperd by 2.5mg every 8-10 weeks until reaching 5mg/day. Maintenance therapy at a dose of 5 mg/day is continued.
Resuming or increasing prednisolone is not planned. Patients during the course of tapering prednisolone continue to taper the dose until its complete cessation.
Primary Outcome(s)
Patients with AIP, who show serological relapse (defined as IgG>1600mg/dl) after their maintenance steroid dose is tapered or ceased, are enrolled in this study. They are divided into 2 groups, that is, 1) steroid resuming group, and 2) obsevation group. The main outcome is to clarify frequency and severity of pancreatic or extrapancreatic clinical relapse in each group within 3 years.
Secondary Outcome(s)
Morphological change of pancreas Pancreatic endocrine function Occurrence of malignancy Survival time
