After TPIAT and blood-sugar sensor study
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at outcomes after a procedure called TPIAT (total pancreatectomy with islet auto-transplantation), which aims to improve insulin function and blood-sugar control. It may help doctors better understand how people do over time after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You agree to wear a glucose monitoring sensor (FGM or CGM) at required times
- You can wear the sensor for at least 2 weeks before yearly clinical visits
- You can wear the sensor from at least 2 weeks before TPIAT, through the first 3 months after TPIAT

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies pancreatic islets (cells that make insulin) from people who are having part or all of their pancreas removed. It may help researchers learn more about how the pancreas works in health and disease.
This study looks at how well a second islet transplant works in people with type 1 diabetes whose first transplant stopped producing insulin or caused dangerous low blood sugar. It aims to see if getting another transplant can help control blood sugar again.
This study looks at people who receive a pancreas transplant, with or without a same-time kidney transplant, and follows them to understand their results. It may help improve how transplant teams choose patients and manage care after surgery.
This study looks at how well a treatment works after islet cell transplantation done for people with long-term (chronic) pancreatitis. It may help doctors better understand graft (transplant) function and how to choose the best approach and follow-up.
This trial tests a surgery that removes the whole pancreas and then puts your own insulin-making cells back into your liver. It is for people with certain types of pancreatic or nearby tumors who also have a soft pancreas and a very narrow main duct, and who still make some insulin.
This trial tests a two-part surgery: removing the pancreas and then putting the patient’s own insulin-making cells back into the body to help control long-term pancreatitis pain. It is aimed at adults with severe, long-lasting pain who have not improved with medicines or procedures.
