Filter by:The two gut-derived hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is secreted from intestinal cells in relation to a meal and increase insulin secretion from the pancreas. The hormones also exert effects outside the pancreas, but especially for GIP, these are poorly investigated. Because of this, only GLP-1 based drugs (GLP-1 receptor agonists) are on the market for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Nonetheless, a new drug is in clinical development: a combined GIP-GLP-1-receptor agonist (tirzepatide), which has shown better results than GLP-1 alone. The mechanism behind these impressive effects are unknown and in this study, the investigators will look into the exptrapancreatic effects of GIP and GLP-1, separate and combined and thus elucidate the mechanisms of action of this new drug class.
This is a single center observational study to assess alteration of glucose metabolism after pancreatectomy.
In this study, liver samples will be collected, processed and stored in a specialized, clinical grade, cell bank for potential future clinical use. A set of ex-vivo immunogenicity and transdiffrentiation tests will be carried to confirm the ability of this cryopreserved cell batch to be used as clinical grade raw material. Biopsies will be collected during TP or PP with the assumption that some of the patients (especially PP patients will not go through Islets autotransplantation) will develop brittle diabetes, thus Orgenesis therapy can provide them in the long run, a treatment. In terms of T1DM the purpose is to have available clinical grade raw material for cell replacement therapy. The collected liver samples will be proliferated (up to passage 4) for future use. A portion of the stored cells will be utilized in a small-scale process to test possible immunogenicity performed on the collected blood sample. The assay will provide data whether immunomodulation treatment will be required in the future clinical trials. Also the transdffrentiated cells (AIPs) will be tested according to release criteria relevant for clinical IPC production. Liver biopsy donors will be contacted upon approval of the consecutive study and will have study recruitment priority. The donors can refuse to participate in the future study or may not need the therapy, however, their biopsies will be stored for a potential use if required, after the therapy is approved.
The study aims at establishing the profile of the immune reaction that occurs in the early surgical suites after pancreatectomy. Blood samples will be collected before surgery, (Day-1), at day0, and after surgery at Day 1, Day 3, Day 7 at 1 year after pancreatectomy. Mass cytometry, genomic and transcriptomic approaches will be used to evaluate the immune systemic modulation after surgery.
This is a pilot study designed to determine if the bihormonal bionic pancreas provides improved blood glucose control, compared to the current standard of care, in individuals with hyperinsulinism who developed diabetes after having a pancreatectomy.
Multi-center, prospective, observational cohort study of patients undergoing total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT)
This is a single arm investigator-initiated study designed to test the feasibility and potential efficacy of preoperative lanreotide to reduce the risk of postoperative abscess or pancreatic leak and fistula. All consenting patients undergoing planned elective pancreaticoduodenectomy or distal pancreatectomy for malignancy or suspected malignancy will be treated with a single deep subcutaneous dose of lanreotide prior to planned resection on the day of surgery. Following this intervention, care will be based on standard treatment protocols. Sixty-day mortality and morbidity will be collected for all patients.
