Congenital Hyperinsulinism clinical trials at UCSF
1 research study open to eligible people
Congenital hyperinsulinism causes high levels of insulin in babies. UCSF has a study to see if a special imaging technique can help locate the problem areas before surgery. This study is testing the use of a type of PET scan called FDOPA/PET. The hope is that this technique can help guide doctors during surgery.
18FluoroLDOPA PET Imaging for the Detection and Localization of Focal Congenital Hyperinsulinism
open to eligible people ages up to 18 years
The goal of this project is to determine the role of FDOPA/PET as a pre-operative diagnostic imaging procedure for differentiating focal and diffuse forms of congenital hyperinsulinism and locating focal lesions in the pancreas to guide surgical resection.
