D ear Islet Transplant Registry Participant,
we are pleased to present the IsletTransplant Registry Newsletter No. 4on the occasion of the 4th Internatio-nal Congress on Pancreas and IsletTransplantation in Amsterdam, June27-30, 1993. We would like to expressour gratitude to the Chairman of thisC o n g ress, Dr. Reinout van Schilf-gaarde, for offering the possibility tohand over a personal copy to eachcongress participant. In addition, wewould also like to thank you for yourcontinuous support and efforts in pro-viding us with data on your patients.
This Newsletter includes re v i s e dRegistry Forms, results of an analysison all adult islet allografts performedworldwide through Dec 31, 1992, withmain emphasis on the period fro m1990-92 as well as a brief descriptionof fetal islet grafts reported to the Regi-stry.
The significant progress of the lastyears culminating in prolonged insu-lin independence following islet allot-ransplantation in diff e rent re c i p i e n tcategories and at diff e rent instituti-ons made us expecting a rapid deve-lopment in the field of clinical islettransplantation. It is true that furthercenters reached insulin independenceafter islet transplantation but theexpected bre a k t h rough on a widefront failed to come. At present, onlyfive patients are insulin independentafter islet allotransplantation, thre etype 1 diabetic patients (two in Milan,one in Minneapolis) as well as twopatients with pancre a t e c t o m y - i n d u-ced diabetes mellitus (one patient inP i t t s b u rgh and one patient in Milan).The number of transplantations peryear decreased from 36 in 1990 to 26in 1991 and 23 in 1992. In the first sixmonths of 1993 only eight transplan-tations are known to be performed(four in Giessen, two in Milan, one inMinneapolis and another one in LosAngeles). More o v e r, the results in islettransplantation could not be signifi-cantly improved since 1990. Another
step forward is of crucial importancefor islet transplantation and for allinstitutions involved to keep clinicaland scientific programs ru n n i n g .
Which future directions are pro-mising enough to be taken? Fre-quently mentioned approaches arecollagenase, pre-transplant isletimmunomodulation and new immu-n o s u p p ressive agents etc. However,it is only through a careful analysis ofdata that the impact of these or othera p p roaches can be substantiated.
In this respect, the Islet TransplantRegistry can contribute to advance thep ro g ress. As the number of trans-planted cases per center is low, it isevident that trends or even conclusi-ons can emerge much earlier whenall results achieved worldwide arecollected and then subjected to scien-tific analysis. The Registry can onlyfulfill this task if the forms will becompleted more thoroughly and con-scientious in the future. The accuracyof the Registry´s results depends verymuch on the quality of data that youprovide and can only be guaranteedby truthful reporting of successes andfailures.
We have always realized that com-pleting the previous Registry Formswas cumbersome and time consu-ming for you. Thus, these formsunderwent major revisions in ord e rto achieve more clearness by consi-dering only the very essential items.In this respect, we very much appre-ciated the recommendations pro v i-ded by Dr. David W. Scharp,Washington University, St. Louis andcolleagues of other leading NorthAmerican Islet Transplant Centers.
We are confident that completion ofthe Forms as well as data entry willnow be simplified and accelerated. Asubstantial advantage of the newForms is that print-outs of data onceput into the data base can be genera-ted directly onto these Forms. Thisguarantees a habitual format; proof-reading and updating of the data canbe done much more efficient on a
single form. Disks with File MakerPro 2.0 - files for direct data entry ona Macintosh computer are availableon request.
Standardized and accepted criteriafor the assessment of islet preparati-ons and for patient monitoring posttransplant are urgently re q u i red. Afirst step was the definition of isletequivalents and of the Sustacal sti-mulation index by Dr. David W.Scharp. In particular, assessment ofviability and function of human isletsp retransplant should be standard i-zed. We have to face loss of islet graftfunction in about 30% of cases withinthe first month and it will there f o rebe important to determine whetherthese early graft failures are a re s u l tof grafting an insufficient number ofviable islet equivalents. Many centersalready use similar methods for isletassessment, however, a large numberof unnecessary modifications existpreventing meaningful comparisonsof results between different instituti-ons.
During the Fourth InternationalC o n g ress on Pancreas and Islet Tr a n s-plantation a Workshop chaired by Dr.R e i n h a rd G. Bretzel, University ofGiessen, and Dr. Camillo Ricordi, Uni-versity of Pittsburgh, will try againto elaborate improvements in this cru-cial field. It is to be hoped that thisWorkshop will manage to define gui-delines for islet graft assessment andpatient monitoring and that everygroup performing clinical islet trans-plantation will adhere to these gui-delines in the future, eventually incarefully designed multicenter trials.
Again, we thank for your coopera-tion and participation in the IsletTransplant Registry.

One-Year Islet Allograft Survival byYear of Transplant (1990 - 92)
The 1990-92 Period
In the 1990-92 period a total number of 85adult allotransplants were reported to theIslet Transplant Registry worldwide. Forthe analysis three patients had to be exclu-ded since provided data were far fro mbeing complete. Another six patients hadto be excluded due to clearly positive pre-transplant basal C-peptide levels (≥ 0.4 ng/ml). The pretransplant basal C-peptide levels of the remaining patientswere 0, < 0.1, < 0.2 and < 0.4 ng/ml in 19,34, 13 and 10 cases, re s p e c t i v e l y. Thus 76patients were taken into the analysis andthe results are depicted in bar charts onpages 13-19.In addition, adult islet allograft survival asassessed by basal C-peptide ≥ 1ng/ml overthe first year posttransplant in re g a rd toyear of transplantation, number of donorsetc. are illustrated on pages 12-19.Fifty-three patients have been included inthese survival charts , all of whom had com-plete 1-year follow-up data (for this re a-son, patients transplanted in the secondhalf of 1992 were not considered).

Fetal Islet GraftsAccording to the data reported in the literature or com-municated to the scientific community, fetal islet tissuehas been transplanted to approximately 2,000 diabeticrecipients (see Newsletter No. 1). In this Newsletter, re s u l t son the 177 grafts only, which have been reported to theRegistry are presented. These reports are very muchappreciated since they facilitate to start with the evalua-tion of the potential impact of fetal islet tissue trans-plantation. The first two figures are a breakdown of 177 fetal isletgrafts according to the number of fetal donor pancreataand according to the recipient category, re s p e c t i v e l y. Thelast two pairs of figures compare the highest basal C-peptide levels and the lowest insulin re q u i rements within the first year following fetal and adult islet tissuetransplantation.Similar to the exclusion criteria of the 1990-92 period,only cases holding pre- as well as posttransplant dataw e re considered, resulting in only 66 fetal cases with pre -and posttransplant C-peptide data. It is interesting thata reduction of insulin re q u i rement appeared in both adultand fetal islet transplant recipients, although posttrans-plant basal C-peptide levels ≥ 1 ng/ml were frequentlyreported in the adult islet transplant group but not in asingle case in the fetal islet transplant group. In the thre efetal islet transplants, which were reported to be insulinindependent, no pretransplant C-peptide levels weregiven and the basal C-peptide levels within one year werein the range of 0.6 and 0.9 ng/ml.
