First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether transplanting insulin-producing cells into the arm muscle can prevent diabetes after partial or full pancreas removal. About 35 adults with non-cancerous pancreas conditions will receive their own islet cells injected into one arm. The goal is to see if the cells work better in muscle than in the liver, avoiding common transplant problems.
