NCT ID NCT05088798
First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study aims to see if a special PET/MRI scan (18F-DOPA) can accurately find small, treatable spots in the pancreas that cause hyperinsulinism—a condition where the body makes too much insulin, leading to dangerously low blood sugar. About 100 patients who have not improved with standard medications will receive this scan before surgery. If successful, the scan could help surgeons remove only the problem spot, potentially curing the condition without removing the whole pancreas.
