Pancreatic Surgery and New Diabetes Risk in Adults without Diabetes

Official title: Clinical, Oncologic, and Metabolic Effects of Pancreatic Mass Loss Following Partial, Near-Total, and Total Pancreatectomy in Patients Without Diabetes at Baseline: A Monocentric Ambispective Observational Study

Run by Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · NCT07608055 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether removing part or all of the pancreas during surgery affects blood sugar control and metabolism in adults who did not have diabetes before the operation.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) without diabetes before surgery who are undergoing partial, near-total, or total pancreatectomy at the study center.

Probably not a fit

Patients who already have diabetes before surgery or those not undergoing pancreatic resection may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an ambispective, single-center observational study in Rome, assessing how different extents of pancreatectomy influence the development of new-onset diabetes and metabolic changes over 12 months. Researchers will use data from routine care, metabolic tests, imaging, and tissue samples to explore predictors and tissue characteristics that may relate to postoperative glycemic outcomes. The study includes retrospective, prospective, and mixed-cohort components for patients undergoing partial, near-total, or total pancreatectomy for benign or malignant disease. Primary goal is to determine the incidence of new-onset diabetes within a year after surgery, by resection type, with secondary aims on long-term glycemic trends and oncologic outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, findings could help predict which patients are at higher risk for diabetes after pancreatectomy and guide perioperative management.

How similar studies have gone: Prior research has shown that pancreatic mass loss can affect glucose metabolism, but this study adds prospective data and tissue analyses to understand variability.
