Efficacy of Islet Re-transplantation After Failure of Beta-cell Replacement
France20 participantsStarted 2025-07-31
Plain-language summary
Islet transplantation and pancreas transplantation are established therapeutic options for selected individuals with type 1 diabetes experiencing severe glycemic instability and recurrent hypoglycemia. Although these approaches significantly improve glycemic management and quality of life, long-term graft survival remains limited, with a progressive decline in beta-cell function over time.
The clinical benefit-risk profile of islet re-transplantation after graft failure remains poorly defined, and outcomes following repeat islet transplantation after prior islet graft failure have not been specifically evaluated.
Repeated exposure to multiple donors may increase the risk of alloimmunization, including the development of donor-specific antibodies , which may adversely affect graft survival and limit access to future transplantation.
This multicenter retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of islet re-transplantation in adults with type 1 diabetes after failure of initial beta-cell replacement (islet or pancreas transplantation), with outcomes assessed at 3 months, 1 year, and 5 years.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
