Can children get islet transplants?

Our goal is to ensure that islet transplants are safe enough to perform in children. However, there is no study underway at this time that allows people under the age of 18 years to get an islet transplant. Until the Food and Drug Administration deems islet transplants reliably safe, people under the age of 18 years can not participate in these clinical trials.
