Combined pancreatic islet and lung transplant from the same donor for the treatment of patients with end-stage cystic fibrosis |
- Metabolic efficiency at 1 year [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Combined criteria based on the 4 following criteria: weight increase > 5% compared to inclusion, fasting blood glucose < 1.1 g/l at 12 months post-transplant (beta score criterion), Reducing insulin requirements (expressed in UI/day) compared to inclusion & decreased in HbA1c >= 0.5% (in absolute value) compared to inclusion Success is defined by achieving at least three of these criteria
- Ratio [C-peptide stimulated T6min/ C-peptide basal T0] [ Time Frame: 1 year after transplant ]Δ C peptide = [ C-peptide stimulated T6min/ C-peptide basal T0] Success if Δ C peptide > 2
- Ratio [C-peptide/Glucose-Creatinine] & ratio [C-peptide/Glucose] [ Time Frame: Every week during the first month, and every month during 1 year ]
- HbA1c [ Time Frame: Every 3 months during 1 year after transplant ]
- C-peptide stimulated by glucagon [ Time Frame: Every 3 months during 1 year after transplant ]
- Ratio [C-peptide stimulated T6min/ C-peptide basal T0] [ Time Frame: Every 3 months during 1 year after transplant ]
- Microalbuminuria & proteinuria [ Time Frame: Every 3 months during 1 year after transplant ]
- Insulin requirements [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]Unit/day
- Number of minor hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]defined by a blood glucose level < 0.6g/L at which the patient is capable of self-sugaring
- Number of major hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
- Glycemic variability (MAGE) [ Time Frame: Every 6 months during 1 year after transplant ]by continuous glycemic measurement Holter (CGMS) & glycemic reader memory analysis
- duration of hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Every 6 months during 1 year after transplant ]by continuous glycemic measurement Holter (CGMS) & glycemic reader memory analysis
- Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
- Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
- Tiffeneau-Pinelli index [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]FEV1/FVC
- Nature of pulmonary infection episodes and nature of acute lung rejection if need be [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
- Dyspnea score according to the mMRC scale [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
- Oxygen saturation SaO2 room air [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
- Median maximum expiration flow [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
- Number of episodes of pulmonary rejection [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]requiring a corticosteroid bolus
- Number of days of post-transplant hospitalization and during the follow-up [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]
- Mortality [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]
- Adverse events [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 14 Years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion criteria:
- Patient with cystic fibrosis
- Patient able to respect the protocol procedures
- Patient with end-stage respiratory insufficiency indicating a lung transplant
- Clinical history of cystic fibrosis related diabetes and/or insulin-dependent diabetes, with no residual insulin secretion (C-peptide < 0,5 ng/mL) and/or no response to IV glucagon stimulation: [peak stimulated C-peptide (T6min)/basal plasma C-peptide(T0)] < 2. The absence of insulin secretion will be verified 2 times before inclusion
- Evolution of diabetes for over 3 years
- Patient whose glycaemic control obtained with insulin therapy is not satisfactory and could significantly alter quality of life (HbA1c > 7% and/or MAGE index > 1,25). This situation is assessed by a diabetologist.
- Social Security membership or benefit from Social Welfare
- Patient who received the results of the medical evaluation required
Non-inclusion criteria:
- Patient with contra-indication for undergo a lung transplant
- Patient with an indication of heart, liver or kidney transplantation
- Patient for which poor therapeutic compliance is expected
- Patient under oral antidiabetic drug
- In women of childbearing potential: pregnancy test (urine and / or blood) positive, lactation, or unwilling to use effective contraception for the duration of the study until 3 months after the end . Men: procreation project during the study period up to 3 months after its end, or unwilling to use effective contraception patient.
- Active infection, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV
- Any history of malignancy within the past 5 years, with the exception of cutaneous basal cell carcinomas completely resected. The history of breast or melanoma cancers are an absolute contraindication
- Alcoholic intoxication or drug addiction
- Anemia (hemoglobin Hb <10g / dL in women and Hb <11 g / dL in men), lymphopenia (<1000 / uL), neutropenia (<1500 / uL) or thrombocytopenia (<100,000 / uL).
