This clinical trial is for patients with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) who are experiencing low blood sugar on their current treatment.

Our team at the Congenital Hyperinsulinism Center at CHOP is working on a research study to determine whether an experimental gene therapy product, DTX401, is safe and effective in people with glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSDIa)

The purpose of the study is to evaluate blood sugar levels and beta-cell function in adolescents and adult with KATP hyperinsulinism whom did not undergo pancreatectomy.

The purpose of this study is to look at the safety and tolerability (how well you will react) of the study drug (HM15136) and to determine if it is effective for the treatment of Congenital Hyperinsulinism (HI).

Congenital Hyperinsulinism is the most common cause of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in infants and children. Infants who are born with this problem have low blood sugar, which can cause seizures or brain damage.

Our team is working on a study to better understand neurological problems, including seizures and developmental delays, that occur in children with hyperinsulinism, including HI/HA syndrome, and type 1 diabetes mellitus.

This study is to better understand neurological problems, including seizures and developmental delays, that occur in many individuals with HI/HA syndrome.

The Congenital Hyperinsulinism Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is working on a research study to better understand how people with hyperinsulinism may have different blood sugar responses to certain tests (like fasting or drinking a high-protein shake) when compared to people without hyperinsulinism.

The goal of the trial is to test the study drug safety, how your body processes the drug, how the drug affects your body, and see if it can increase your blood sugar.
