About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

The purpose of this study is to improve the blood glucose level in type 2 diabetic patients.

Read the detailed description

We hypothesize that Autologous bone marrow derived stem cells which would be expanded into culture and their subsequent transplant into the pancreas of patients with T2DM, aged 30 - 70 years with triple oral hypoglycemic agent failure and on insulin(>0.4 U/ kg body weight/day) will lead to abolition or reduction of insulin requirement by more than or equal to 50% in these patients over a period of 6 months. It is assumed that stem cell in these patients leads to increased angiogenesis, secretion of various cytokines and upregulation of pancreatic transcription factors and Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and creates a micro-environment which supports beta cell/resident stem cell activation and survival.

Being tested
mesenchymal stem cell transplantation, control, MNC's TRANSPLANTATION
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • mesenchymal stem cell transplantationBiological

    20 - 30 ml of bone marrow will be aspirated and layered on density gradient medium (Ficoll - hypaque ) and stem cells will be separated. Separated mono nucleated cells will be dissolved in minimum essential medium and inoculated in culturing flask and mesenchymal will be allowed to adhere to culturing flask and mesenchymal stem cell will be injected into superior pancreatic duodenal artery . Patients will be urged to monitor and document blood glucose readings for next 6 months. Glucagon stimulated C - peptide HYPERGLYCEMIC CLAMP FOR ASSESSMENT OF BETA CELL FUNCTION , Homeostasis Model of Assessment - Insulin Resistance and Beta cell function ,HbA1c, lipid profile and biochemistry will be done at baseline and 6 months .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing mesenchymal stem cell transplantation and MNC's TRANSPLANTATION in people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, run by Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh at 1 site in India.

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 6 inclusion and 8 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 27 Oct 2015. 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 India. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Reduction of insulin requirement by ≥ 50% by the end of 6 months of autologous bone marrow derived stem cell transplantation and Improvement in Glucagon stimulated C - peptide levels and hyperglycemic clamp for assessment of beta cell function (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT01759823, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Oct 2015.
