About this study

Official title: Treatment of Type I Diabetes by Pancreatic Islet Transplantation Into The Gastric Submucosa

The overall objective of this pilot project is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the gastric submucosal space as a novel site for clinical islet transplantation. The site has several physiologic attributes that may improve the outcomes of islet transplantation compared with the conventional intraportal transplant site.

Read the detailed description

The overall objective of this pilot project is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the gastric submucosal space as a novel site for clinical islet transplantation. Safety will be evaluated by the monitoring of side effects such as post procedural GI complications, frequency of hypo and hyperglycemic events, and immunosuppression side effects. Efficacy will be determined by accepted measures including insulin independence, long term glucose control, and reduction/elimination of hypoglycemic events.

The site has several physiologic attributes that may improve the outcomes of islet transplantation compared with the conventional intraportal transplant site.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Hypo- and Hyper-glycemia limits for blood glucose related risks; during procedure, abdominal pain, duodenal hemorrhage, and duodenal perforation post-procedure, fever, cytokine release syndrome (to the thymoglobulin), immunosuppression related issues

    Measured: Six months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Isolated Human Pancreatic Islets in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Andrew Posselt 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 10 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 8 Oct 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 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.

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?

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: Six months). 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 8 Oct 2020.
