Researchers track islet graft health after pancreas removal
NCT ID NCT03097185
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at blood markers and how well transplanted insulin-making cells (islets) work in people with chronic pancreatitis who have their pancreas removed and get their own islets back. Researchers will follow 100 adults for at least two years to understand graft function. The goal is to learn more, not to test a new treatment.
