Trial summary

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a progressive immune distruction of pancreat beta cells and deterioration of endogenous insulin secretion. Regulatory T cells (Treg) are fuctionally deficient in T1D, leading to the loss of immune tolerance to the islets and the initiation of an… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Safety and Therapeutic Effects of Autologous Tregs in T1DM

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a progressive immune distruction of pancreat beta cells and deterioration of endogenous insulin secretion. Regulatory T cells (Treg) are fuctionally deficient in T1D, leading to the loss of immune tolerance to the islets and the initiation of an autoimmune attack. Previouse studies have revealed the potential theraputic effects of autologous Treg transplantation in T1D. We have modified the preparation protocol for autologous Tregs. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effect of autologous Treg therapy in patients with T1D.

Being tested
Ex vivo Expanded Human Autologous Regulatory T Cells, Routine Care
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1

What participants receive

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

  • Ex vivo Expanded Human Autologous Regulatory T CellsBiological

    Peripheral blood component donation is used to collect Treg cells for ex vivo expansion, with technical guidance provided by the Center for Biotechnology Drug Development at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

  • Routine CareOther

    Routine care is provided to all participants according to clinical guidelines for T1DM.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with adverse events, laboratory abnormalities and other signs of toxicity.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Therapeutic effects on diabetes-related outcomes

    Therapeutic effects on diabetes-related outcomes 1 year after intervention include: 1) C-peptide response during mixed meal tolerance test, reported as the change from baseline in the fasting level, postprandial level and area under the curve; 2) Insulin Use; 3) Hemoglobin A1c.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ex vivo Expanded Human Autologous Regulatory T Cells and Routine Care in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School at 1 site in China.

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 4 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Nov 2024. 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 China. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dr. Lu, MD (0086-025-868182432, lujing@njglyy.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants with adverse events, laboratory abnormalities and other signs of toxicity. (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year). 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 27 Nov 2024.
