NCT05576116

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of sleeve gastrectomy combined with pancreas after kidney (PAK) transplantation as a means of achieving normoglycemia, insulin independence, reduced insulin resistance, and kidney graft function preservation in the T2DM population. in the first year post pancreas after kidney transplant. Safety and efficacy data will be collected from the time of enrollment until participants reach 1 year post PAK transplant. Data will be compared to historical data from TGH's renal and pancreas transplant programs.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Patients achieving normoglycemia

    The primary study endpoint will be the proportion of patients who achieve normoglycemia (as defined by HbA1c \<6%) by Month 12 post-PAK. This will be compared to the proportion of patients among the historical controls who achieve normoglycemia through medical treatment alone and have undergone kidney transplant alone or simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation.

    month 12

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Change in body weight (kg) from baseline to post-SG (group 1); baseline to post-Pancreas Tx M3 (group 2)

    month 3

  • Change in body weight (kg) from baseline to post-PAK

    month 12

  • Change in HbA1c levels

    month 12

  • Body mass index (BMI)

    month 12

  • Waist circumference

    month 12

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Group 1: Staggered Approach

EXPERIMENTAL

The first 10 participants enrolled will undergo Sleeve Gastrectomy a minimum of 3 months prior to Pancreas Transplant.

Procedure: Sleeve Gastrectomy AND Pancreas after Kidney Transplantation (Staggered Approach)

Group 2: Combined Approach

EXPERIMENTAL

Eligible participants will undergo SG and pancreas transplantation simultaneously

Procedure: Combined Sleeve Gastrectomy and Pancreas transplantation

Interventions

Participants will undergo sleeve gastrectomy a minimum of 3 months prior to Pancreas Transplant. SG will be performed using the standard technique. Pancreas transplant will be performed as per standard procedure.

Group 1: Staggered Approach

Simultaneous SG and pancreas transplantation

Group 2: Combined Approach

  • Previous bariatric surgery
  • Presence of any other condition that could compromise the patient's ability to safely undergo, or benefit from SG procedure.
  • Known BK nephropathy or significant vascular damage to the kidney graft

Model Details: The first phase of the study will assign participants (n=10) to undergo Sleeve Gastrectomy (SG) prior to PAK. 3 months post-SG, patients will be activated on the pancreas transplant waitlist. If outcomes are favourable, the study may move to phase II (single group, n=10), which would investigate a combined surgery (simultaneous SG and pancreas transplantation).
