Arm muscle may be new home for insulin cells after pancreas removal
NCT ID NCT02872571
First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 22, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests whether transplanting insulin-making cells (islets) into the arm muscle can prevent diabetes in people who need their pancreas removed due to benign disease or injury. The liver is the usual transplant site but can damage the cells. The arm offers a simpler, safer spot. About 35 adults will take part, and success is measured by insulin response in the grafted arm three months after the procedure.
