Trial summary

The goal of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of bone marrow (BM) as site for pancreatic islet transplantationin humans. Our hypothesis is that BM represents a better site than liver (currently the location of choice for this procedure) thanks to its potential capacity to favor islet engraftment.

About this study

Official title: Bone Marrow vs Liver as Site for Islet Transplantation in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: Pilot Study to Evaluate Efficacy

The goal of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of bone marrow (BM) as site for pancreatic islet transplantationin humans. Our hypothesis is that BM represents a better site than liver (currently the location of choice for this procedure) thanks to its potential capacity to favor islet engraftment. To address our hypothesis we propose herein a randomized phase II trial to compare BM and liver as sites for islet transplantation in T1D patients.

Read the detailed description

The study is a phase II, single center, open label, pilot study. We will recruit 12 patients with T1D to be randomly (1:1) assigned to receive islet either into the liver through the portal venous circulation (standard procedure; arm A, n=6) or directly into the BM at the level of the iliac crest (arm B, n=6). Patients will be selected from those eligible for islet Tx based on local practice and guidelines.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
A: intraportal islet infusionActive comparatorPatients will received islet into the liver through the portal venous circulation (standard procedure)
Receives: Biological: Human pancreatic islet transplantation
B: intra BM islet infusionExperimentalPatients will received an intra BM islet infusion at the level of the iliac crest. The direct intra BM administration will be performed following the same procedures that our institution utilizes for administration of cord-blood cells in patients with acute leukemia (Lancet Oncol. 2008;9:831). The procedure is easy and reproducible: a standard needle for BM aspiration is inserted in the iliac crest and cells are gently infused.
Receives: Biological: Human pancreatic islet transplantation

What is being measured

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

  1. Insulin secretion under stimulation

    basal and -10 to 120 min time course of glucose, C-pep levels and insulin derived from the mixed meal tolerance test

    Measured: month 12 post-Tx

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AE) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    Measured: throughout the study up to 1 year after first transplant

  2. Insulin requirement

    Change in average daily insulin requirements

    Measured: month 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 post- transplant

  3. Islet function

    change in HbA1c, Transplant Estimated Function (TEF) and fasting C-peptide levels

    Measured: month 1, 3, 6, 9, 12 post-Tx

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Human pancreatic islet transplantation in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Ospedale San Raffaele at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 4 Nov 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 Italy. 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?

Insulin secretion under stimulation (time frame: month 12 post-Tx). 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 NCT01722682, 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 4 Nov 2020.
