Test whether arginine affects early results after islet transplant
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether taking arginine changes how well people do soon after an islet transplant. It may help improve early outcomes and guide care for people who are getting ready for this treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are age 16 or older
- You are currently on the LUMC waiting list for an islet transplant (either from a donor or your own cells)
- You can and are willing to use a flash glucose monitoring (FGM) device for 2 weeks before the transplant
- You are not pregnant (or will not be during the study)
- You have no known allergy or strong reaction to arginine

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.
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 two diabetes medications, empagliflozin and linagliptin, to see which one works better for controlling blood sugar, protecting kidney function, and improving body composition in people who have had a kidney transplant and have diabetes.
This trial looks at whether adding gastrin can improve outcomes after an islet cell transplant for people with type 1 diabetes. It may help some participants achieve better blood sugar control, but it also requires close follow-up and immune-suppressing medications to protect the new cells.
This trial tests whether taking an L-arginine supplement (a type of amino acid) each day can help improve how your body uses insulin and protects the cells that make insulin. It may be an option if you have prediabetes or metabolic syndrome and are looking for a simple daily supplement to support your metabolic health.
This trial tests whether transplanting your own insulin-making cells (islets) can help control blood sugar if you have type 2 diabetes and your pancreas is not making enough insulin. The goal is to reduce or stop your need for insulin injections.
