First seen Nov 15, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests whether empagliflozin (Jardiance), a drug used for type 2 diabetes, can improve blood sugar control in people who have had an islet transplant and still have partial islet function. About 40 adults will receive either a placebo, 10 mg, or 25 mg of empagliflozin daily for 3 months. The main goal is to see if the drug increases the time their blood sugar stays in a healthy range.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Empagliflozin (Jardiance) 10 mg or 25 mg oral tablet
What this could lead to
If it works, this could help islet transplant recipients achieve better blood sugar control and reduce their insulin doses.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early pilot study with only 40 participants. The drug is already approved for type 2 diabetes but not specifically for this use, so results may not apply broadly.
