Can islet transplants help kidney recipients with type 1 diabetes?
NCT ID NCT00708604
First seen Apr 29, 2026 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early study tested whether transplanting insulin-making cells (islets) could help people with type 1 diabetes who already had a kidney transplant and were on anti-rejection drugs. Only 3 people took part. The goal was to see if the procedure was safe and could reduce or stop the need for insulin shots. Because participants must stay on lifelong anti-rejection medication, this is a disease control approach, not a cure.
