Clinical Trials for Insulinoma
Insulinoma is a tumor of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, most commonly affecting middle-aged to older dogs and occasionally cats. It causes hypoglycemia, leading to weakness, seizures, and collapse. Clinical trials at veterinary universities are researching improved surgical techniques, medical management protocols, and novel therapies through funded research programs.

Understanding Insulinoma in Pets
Insulinoma is a tumor of the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas that causes the body to produce too much insulin, leading to low blood sugar. Symptoms often include weakness, unsteadiness, or seizures.
Who it tends to affect
- Typical size: Affects both dogs and cats; more commonly diagnosed in dogs
- Typical age: Most commonly diagnosed in middle-aged to older dogs, typically 7–12 years
Can my pet join — does breed matter?
Trials typically enroll based on blood glucose findings, imaging results, and whether surgery has been performed. Both dogs and cats meeting the study's criteria are generally eligible.
Most trials are open to all breeds and set requirements by size, weight, age, and diagnosis instead. Our matching service checks your pet's specific details against each study's actual requirements.
