Pancreas ultrasound imaging study in type 1 diabetes
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study checks whether a special ultrasound scan can clearly picture the pancreas in people with type 1 diabetes and in non-diabetes control participants. It may help researchers better understand the pancreas in diabetes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 65, and you can participate fully in the study
- You can sign informed consent (and cannot be someone unable to consent)
- You are not pregnant or breast-feeding
- You should not have pancreas diseases like pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, pancreatic cancer, or neuroendocrine tumors
- Your body size must allow the sonographer to get a clear pancreas ultrasound picture
- You must not have certain unstable heart/lung conditions or a known allergy to the ultrasound contrast

This study uses a special PET scan to measure how well insulin-producing cells (“beta cells”) in the pancreas are working in people with diabetes. It’s meant to help researchers understand diabetes biology and test whether the scan can reflect beta cell function.
This early study tests a new kind of donor islet transplant (UP421) designed to avoid rejection. It's for adults with long-standing type 1 diabetes who have trouble controlling blood sugar despite intensive insulin therapy.
This trial tests how two diabetes medications, SGLT2i and pioglitazone, affect ketone production in people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to find new ways to improve blood sugar control.
This study takes pictures of the pancreas in children and teens (and likely adults) with type 1 diabetes soon after diagnosis. The goal is to learn more about how the pancreas changes with diabetes, which may help future care.
This study tests whether using ultrasound scans in diabetes clinics can help people avoid insulin-induced lipohypertrophy (lumps under the skin from injections). It is for people with diabetes who use insulin injections or a pump and have unstable glucose levels despite using a continuous glucose monitor.
This study tests whether a series of ultrasound treatments can improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes. You may be asked to stay on your current diabetes pills and avoid certain other medicines during the study.
