| Proteomics of the effects of Gemcitabine with IV omega-3 fish oils in patients with unresectable pancreatic adenocarcinoma. |
Open to recruitment |
Collecting blood samples from patients with inoperable pancreatic cancer to look for proteins that may provide an indication of being more susceptible to cancer. |
| Randomised controlled trial on the effects of parenteral fish oil emulsion in critically ill septic patients. |
Open to recruitment |

| Assessment of mannose-binding lectin dependent pathway deficiency in the pancreatic islet auto-transplant patient. |
Open to recruitment |

| Randomised controlled trial of plasma and cellular uptake of oral EPA & DHA with or without exogenous lipase supplementation in healthy volunteers |
In set-up |
To determine whether people absorb omega-3 fish oils better when taken with an enzyme that aids digestion. |
| Informed consent: assessment of optimum information for major HPB procedures. |
In set-up |

| The mechanistic role of fish oils in micro RNA expression and therapeutic effects in pancreatic cancer |
In set-up |
