About this study

Official title: An Open-label Pilot Study of Delayed Mycophenolate Mofetil Instead of Tacrolimus Combined With Anti-thymocyte Globulin, Daclizumab, Etanercept, and Sirolimus in Single-donor, Solitary Islet Allograft Recipients With Type 1 Diabetes

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of islet allotransplantation for the reestablishment of stable glycemic control in patients with type 1 diabetes, using anti-thymocyte globulin induction immunosuppression with sirolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and low dose tacrolimus maintenance immunosuppression.

Read the detailed description

To assess the safety and efficacy of a new single-donor islet allotransplant protocol focusing on minimization of ischemic damage by the two-layer pancreas preservation technique, attenuation of posttransplant nonspecific inflammatory responses by etanercept and anti-thymocyte globulin, deletion/inactivation of autoreactive T cells by anti-thymocyte globulin and daclizumab induction immunotherapy, and potent yet non-diabetogenic maintenance immunosuppression with sirolimus and delayed mycophenolate mofetil instead of tacrolimus for the reestablishment of stable glycemic control in recipients with type 1 diabetes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assess the incidence and severity of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic subjects receiving an islet allotransplant and immunotherapy during the first year posttransplant.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Assess liver laboratory tests during the first year following intraportal islet allotransplantation.

    Measured: 1 yr

  3. Assess the incidence, type, and severity of islet transplant-related infectious complications during the first year posttransplant.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Assess the proportion of recipients who develop alloantibodies directed at donor alloantigens during the first year posttransplant.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Monitor the incidence, timing, and severity of adverse events as well as their relationship to the islet transplant procedure and additional protocol-regulated treatment products during the first year after islet transplantation.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Assess the proportion of type 1 diabetic subjects receiving delayed mycophenolate mofetil instead of tacrolimus who achieve insulin independence in the first year after transplantation of allogeneic islets.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Assess the proportion of type 1 diabetic islet allograft recipients with full and partial alloislet function at one year post transplant.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Assess the glycemic control, insulin secretory responses, and the glucose disposal rate during the first year posttransplant.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Effect of donor age, pretransplant islet insulin secretory response, # of transplanted islet equivalents, # of transplanted beta cells, pretransplant insulin action, recipient BMI and immunosuppressive therapy on safety and efficacy.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Assess, in a selected group of islet allotransplant recipients, the autoimmune and alloimmune responses to transplanted islets at intervals during the first year posttransplant.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Allogeneic islets of Langerhans transplant in people with Type 1 Diabetes and Hypoglycemia, run by University of Minnesota at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assess the incidence and severity of hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetic subjects receiving an islet allotransplant and immunotherapy during the first year posttransplant. (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00285233, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Aug 2012.
