About this study

Pancreatic islets are the part of the pancreas that produce insulin and help control the blood sugar. This study aims to improve islet transplantation as a treatment for Type 1 Diabetes by using a new combination of immunosuppressive drugs that have been successful in treating other autoimmune diseases and in preventing kidney transplant rejection.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of these studies is to assess the efficacy and safety of allogeneic pancreatic islet transplantation in the treatment of type I diabetes mellitus. A secondary study objective is to evaluate the efficacy of various immunosuppressive protocols and agents in preventing autoimmune destruction and rejection of allogeneic islet transplants. A tertiary objective is to determine the safety and efficacy of allogeneic pancreatic islet transplantation in patients who have received another organ transplant such as a kidney or liver.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Belatacept and Raptiva in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 7 inclusion and 19 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 6 May 2020. 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?

lnsulin independence (time frame: monthly). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 May 2020.
