Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia
MONDO:0005803An inherited autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by the disorganized formation of new islets in the pancreas and congenital hyperinsulinism. It is due to focal hyperplasia of pancreatic islet cells budding off from the ductal structures and forming new islets of langerhans. Mutations in the islet cells involve the potassium channel gene kcnj11 or the atp-binding cassette transporter gene abcc8, both on chromosome 11.
Also known as: hyperinsulinemia hypoglycemia, hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (disease), nesidioblastosis

New drug aims to tame tumor-triggered low blood sugar in rare cancer patients
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests a new medicine called ersodetug for people whose tumors cause dangerously low blood sugar that standard treatments can't control. About 16 adults with insulin-producing tumors will receive the drug alongside their usual care. The main goal is to see if ersodetug …

Could a tiny glucagon shot before workout stop blood sugar crashes in type 1 diabetes?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a low dose of glucagon, given before exercise, can prevent blood sugar drops in adults with type 1 diabetes who use an automated insulin pump. Eighteen participants will exercise after a meal, comparing glucagon to a standard glucose drink. The goal is to…

New imaging test could pinpoint tiny pancreatic tumors in babies, guiding Life-Saving surgery
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study tests whether a special PET scan using a radioactive tracer called FDOPA can accurately find and locate focal lesions in the pancreas of infants with congenital hyperinsulinism, a condition causing severe low blood sugar. The goal is to help surgeons remove only the di…

New scan spots tiny pancreatic tumors that cause dangerous low blood sugar
Diagnosis Expanded accessThis study offers expanded access to a PET scan using a radioactive tracer called 18F-DOPA to locate small, insulin-producing lesions in the pancreas. It is for patients with congenital hyperinsulinism, Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, or insulinoma who have low blood sugar. The goal…

New imaging trial aims to sharpen diagnosis for Parkinson's, tumors, and more
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis phase 3 study is testing an improved PET/CT imaging method using a radioactive tracer called 18F-DOPA. Researchers want to see if it can better detect small lesions and reduce image artifacts in patients with conditions like congenital hyperinsulinism, neuroblastoma, neuroen…

New scan could pinpoint hidden pancreas problems, avoiding major surgery
Diagnosis Recruiting nowThis study is testing whether a special PET/MRI scan using 18F-DOPA can accurately locate small, overactive areas in the pancreas that cause too much insulin (hyperinsulinism). The goal is to help doctors decide if surgery can remove just the problem spot, potentially curing the …

Scientists probe why gastric bypass causes dangerous blood sugar drops
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study looks at how gastric bypass surgery affects insulin and blood sugar control, focusing on gut hormones and nerve signals. Researchers will compare three groups: people who had the surgery and now have severe low blood sugar, those who had the surgery without symptoms, a…
