Trial summary

In this study, liver samples will be collected, processed and stored in a specialized, clinical grade, cell bank for potential future clinical use. A set of ex-vivo immunogenicity and transdiffrentiation tests will be carried to confirm the ability of this cryopreserved cell batch to be used as clinical grade raw… Read more about this study

  • For T1DM - HbA1c ≤10%.
  • Willing to sign the study informed consent document.
  • In good general health with no infections, or concomitant medical conditions that would influence the outcome of the trial, at the discretion of the Investigator and the Sponsor.

Who cannot join

About this study

Official title: Collection of Human Liver Biopsy and Whole Blood Samples From Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), Total or Partial Pancreatectomy Patients for Potential Use as an Autologous Source for Insulin Producing Cells in Future Clinical Studies

In this study, liver samples will be collected, processed and stored in a specialized, clinical grade, cell bank for potential future clinical use. A set of ex-vivo immunogenicity and transdiffrentiation tests will be carried to confirm the ability of this cryopreserved cell batch to be used as clinical grade raw material. Biopsies will be collected during TP or PP with the assumption that some of the patients (especially PP patients will not go through Islets autotransplantation) will develop brittle diabetes, thus Orgenesis therapy can provide them in the long run, a treatment. In terms of T1DM the purpose is to have available clinical grade raw material for cell replacement therapy.

The collected liver samples will be proliferated (up to passage 4) for future use. A portion of the stored cells will be utilized in a small-scale process to test possible immunogenicity performed on the collected blood sample. The assay will provide data whether immunomodulation treatment will be required in the future clinical trials. Also the transdffrentiated cells (AIPs) will be tested according to release criteria relevant for clinical IPC production. Liver biopsy donors will be contacted upon approval of the consecutive study and will have study recruitment priority. The donors can refuse to participate in the future study or may not need the therapy, however, their biopsies will be stored for a potential use if required, after the therapy is approved.

What participants receive

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

  • Liver biopsy collectionOther

    Liver biopsy collection to Confirm suitability of T1DM, total or partial pancreatectomy patient's liver cells to be used as future personalized cell replacement therapy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Confirmation of patients' suitability eligibility to participate in future clinical study

    Defined by a successful AIPs production from their liver biopsy.

    Measured: 1 year post biopsy collection

  2. Evaluating autoimmune response to AIPs

    Defined by Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) assay based on the patient's PBMCs isolated from whole blood samples and following in-vivo subcutaneous implantation into the patients' arm

    Measured: 1 year post biopsy collection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type 1 Diabetes and Pancreatectomy; Hyperglycemia, run by Orgenesis Ltd..

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Confirmation of patients' suitability eligibility to participate in future clinical study (time frame: 1 year post biopsy collection). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Sep 2019.
