Smart sugar sensors may improve recovery from complex pancreatic surgery
NCT ID NCT06755788
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether using a real-time continuous glucose monitor (RT-CGM) during pancreaticoduodenectomy (a complex surgery) helps keep patients' blood sugar in a safe range and improves recovery. About 246 adults scheduled for this surgery will be randomly assigned to standard care or RT-CGM-guided care. The main goal is to see how much time blood sugar stays in the target range during the operation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- real-time continuous glucose monitor (RT-CGM)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this approach could help surgeons maintain safer blood sugar levels during major pancreatic surgery, potentially reducing complications and speeding recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 246 participants, so results may not apply to all hospitals or surgeries. The device itself carries a low risk of skin irritation or sensor inaccuracy.
