Pancreatic islet study in patients having pancreas surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are able to give permission (informed consent) to join the study.
- You are scheduled to have part or all of your pancreas removed.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial studies how pancreatic cancer affects blood sugar and the risk of developing diabetes after surgery. Patients who have their pancreas removed will provide blood and tissue samples to help understand this link.
This trial tests whether lab-grown islet cells (pancreatic organoids) can help control blood sugar in people who develop diabetes after having most or all of their pancreas removed. If successful, this could reduce the need for insulin shots.
This study tests a surgery that removes the entire pancreas and then transplants your own insulin-making cells (islet cells) back into your liver. It aims to relieve chronic pancreatitis pain while reducing the risk of diabetes.
This study follows patients who are having part or all of their pancreas removed due to disease. Researchers want to understand how this surgery affects blood sugar control, weight, and overall health in people without diabetes before surgery.
This study tests whether giving insulin after pancreatic surgery helps control blood sugar in patients who develop diabetes as a result of the surgery. It may help you manage your recovery better and avoid complications from high blood sugar.
