Brief summary

Primary objective: To describe and compare the safety and efficacy of treatment with AAT in chronic pancreatitis patients who undergo total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT).

Detailed description

The goal of this study is to assess whether infusion of Prolastin-C during peri-transplant period can enhance islet autograft survival and function in chronic pancreatitis patients who have total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation. This is a prospective, controlled, double-blind study. The primary endpoint will be area under the curve for the serum C-peptide level during the first 4 hours of an mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT), normalized by the number of islet equivalents (IEQ)/kg at day 365±14 after the transplant.

Interventions

Patients will receive Prolastin-C at 60mg/kg on day 0, 7, 14, and 21 days of transplantation

DRUGPlacebo

Patients will receive saline on day 0, 7, 14, and 21 days of transplantation
