Scientists investigate why diabetes comes back after transplant
NCT ID NCT01047865
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 238 people who received a pancreas and kidney transplant for type 1 diabetes. The goal was to understand why diabetes sometimes returns even after a new pancreas is working. Researchers checked for immune system markers, like antibodies and T cells, that might signal the body attacking the new pancreas again. The study did not test a new treatment but aimed to gather knowledge for future care.
