Kidney Alone Versus Islet-After-Kidney in Type 1 Diabetic Kidney Transplant Recipient. (KA-IAK)

May 11, 2026 updated by: University Hospital, Lille

Targeted Trial Emulation of Kidney Alone Versus Islet-After-Kidney in Type 1 Diabetic Transplant Recipients : a French Nationwide Cohort Study

Islet transplantation is associated with a benefit on glycaemic control compared to optimized insulin therapy in recent clinical trials. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning the long-term impact of islet transplantation on type 1 diabetic kidney transplant recipients' prognosis. The objective of the study is to assess the impact of islet transplantation in patients with type 1 diabetes and a kidney transplantation on the risk of graft failure. Every type 1 diabetic recipient transplanted with a kidney in France between 2000 and 2017 is included. Patients transplanted with pancreatic islets are compared to controls treated with insulin alone according to a matching method based on time-dependent propensity scores which allow to ensure patients comparability at the time of islet transplantation. Time-dependent propensity scores are built according to variables associated with both the probabilities of being transplanted with islets and the outcome of interest. These variables are assessed by a direct acyclic graph. The primary outcome consists in death-uncensored graft survival, defined by death or return to dialysis. Secondary outcomes include the risk of death, or the risk of death-censored graft survival.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is aged over 18
  • With type 1 diabetes
  • With End-Stage Renal disease
  • Transplanted with a kidney

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Islet-after-kidney group
Patients with type 1 diabetes with a kidney transplant received or not an islet transplantation after kidney transplantation. As soon as they received an islet transplantation, they belong to the "Islet-after-kidney group".
Kidney alone group
Patients with type 1 diabetes with a kidney transplant who did not receive an islet transplantation belong to the " Kidney alone group ".
Other: Pancreatic islet transplantation after kidney transplantation
Pancreatic islet transplantation consists in the intrahepatic transplantation of pancreatic islets, as a result of enzymatic digestion of a deceased-donor pancreas.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Patient-graft survival
Time Frame: From the date of islet transplantation (or time-point equivalent in the control group) until the date of death from any cause or return to dialysis, whichever comes first, assessed up to 240 months.
Patient-graft survival by death-uncensored graft survival, i.e. the return to dialysis or death
From the date of islet transplantation (or time-point equivalent in the control group) until the date of death from any cause or return to dialysis, whichever comes first, assessed up to 240 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
