Bariatric surgery plus pancreas transplant after kidney transplant
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies whether adding bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and a pancreas transplant can improve health in people with long-term type 2 diabetes who already received a kidney transplant. It may help with blood sugar control and related metabolic health, while also needing careful safety screening for kidney function and blood vessel health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a type of weight-loss surgery (called metabolic surgery) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes achieve better blood sugar control. It's for people who have struggled to manage their diabetes with standard treatments and have a BMI between 30 and 35.
This Phase 3 trial compares sleeve gastrectomy versus a different bypass-style operation to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help some people lower blood sugar and diabetes medication needs, but you must meet specific safety and health criteria.
This study tests whether weight-loss surgery improves how your body uses insulin and energy. It compares insulin sensitivity and related measurements before and after surgery to understand who benefits.
This trial tests a surgery for early-stage stomach cancer that also aims to improve type 2 diabetes by changing how your body processes food. It might be an option if you have both conditions and are not using insulin.
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.
This study follows patients with diabetes who are having surgery to remove part or all of their pancreas (usually for cancer or benign disease). Researchers will track how the surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health over time.
