U.S., Sept. 5 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07155473) titled 'Identification of a Score for the Assessment of Intrapancreatic Fat' on Feb. 21.
Brief Summary: The SPES clinical study aims to evaluate the relationship between pancreatic fat accumulation (pancreatic steatosis) and metabolic health. Pancreatic steatosis has been linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome, but the underlying mechanisms and its impact on beta-cell function remain poorly understood.
The primary goal of this study is to develop a quantitative ultrasound elastography score to measure the degree of pancreatic steatosis and explore how this relates to pancreatic beta-cell function and key fac...
