    My mom had an elevated lipase which was due to pancreatitis from an ERCP procedure. I know this is not similar to your situation, but do those drugs cause pancreatitis?

    Brian…..I don’t recall anyone mentioning high lipase counts, hence I am wondering whether it is related to the trial drug (in some way). I assume the physicians are aware of this, but wonder about the drug company’s response. Don’t hesitate from asking these pertinent questions, you have the right to do so.
    You mention that things are going pretty well. Are you referring to minimum side effects or have scans shown positive response?

    Also, dear Brian, threads get lost in the volume of postings. At times it helps to revive the thread by simply posting it again.

    Happy New Year,

    My wife, Barb, is part of a clinical trial at Moffitt Cancer Center. Started in Sept and is going pretty well. Gemcitabine and cisplatin with coplanlisib (trial drug)

    Today her Lipase count was very high – at 265. Has been around 40 for months. I have read some articles including http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/lipase-14225#2

    Anyone have any experience like this? Brian
