First seen Feb 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study aims to find out if extra digestive juices from the new pancreas cause weight gain after a pancreas transplant.

The goal is to better understand the problem so doctors can develop targeted treatments, like drugs that block fat absorption.
