Brief Summary:
Patients with end-stage cystic fibrosis (CF) and severe CF-related diabetes (CFRD) may benefit from combined lung-pancreatic islet transplantation. A recent case series showed that combined bilateral lung and pancreatic islet transplantation is a viable therapeutic option for patients with end-stage CF and CFRD. The use of different organs from a single donor may lead to reduced immunogenicity. As the prevalence of CFRD has increased dramatically with the improved life expectancy of patients with CF, islet transplantation should be considered at the end-stage CF. By restoring metabolic control, the investigators hypothesize that islet transplantation may improve the management of CF patients undergoing lung transplant and decrease the complication rate in the early postoperative period.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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

  2. Ratio [C-peptide/Glucose-Creatinine] & ratio [C-peptide/Glucose] [ Time Frame: Every week during the first month, and every month during 1 year ]

    Unit/day

  8. 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

  9. Number of major hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
  10. Glycemic variability (MAGE) [ Time Frame: Every 6 months during 1 year after transplant ]
    by continuous glycemic measurement Holter (CGMS) & glycemic reader memory analysis

  11. duration of hypoglycemia [ Time Frame: Every 6 months during 1 year after transplant ]
    by continuous glycemic measurement Holter (CGMS) & glycemic reader memory analysis

  12. Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
  13. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
  14. Tiffeneau-Pinelli index [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
    FEV1/FVC

  15. Nature of pulmonary infection episodes and nature of acute lung rejection if need be [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
  16. Dyspnea score according to the mMRC scale [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
  17. Oxygen saturation SaO2 room air [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
  18. Median maximum expiration flow [ Time Frame: Every month during 1 year after transplant ]
  19. Number of episodes of pulmonary rejection [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]
    requiring a corticosteroid bolus

  20. Number of days of post-transplant hospitalization and during the follow-up [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]
  21. Mortality [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]
  22. Adverse events [ Time Frame: Every visit during 1 year after transplant ]
