Allogeneic Islet Transplantation for the Treatment of Type 1 Diabetes

Phase 2
Conditions
Patients With Type 1 Diabetes
Interventions
Procedure: Allogeneic transplantation of intrahepatic islet
Registration Number
NCT01974674
Lead Sponsor
Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris
Brief Summary

It is a multicentre, sequential, phase II clinical trial, aiming at evaluating the allogeneic islet transplantation for the treatment of type 1 diabetes.

19 patients with type 1 diabetes will be included and ideally distributed evenly: patients with unstable diabetes without renal insufficiency (AI group for "islet alone" by the international customary determination) and patients with a functioning kidney transplant (IAK group for "islet after kidney"). The main endpoint will be defined by the restoration of normal glycemic control without insulin at 6 months after graft.

Allogeneic transplantation of intrahepatic isletAllogeneic transplantation of intrahepatic isletAllogeneic transplantation of intrahepatic islet number required for insulin independence of obtaining, with a threshold dose of 9,000 IEQ/kg body weight of the recipient and a maximum sequence number of 3 infusions. The patient will receive after transplantation immunosuppressive therapy with Thymoglobulin for induction, Prograf and Cellcept, both of which are given throughout the duration of the study
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
restoration of normal glycemic control without insulin6 months after graft

the restoration of normal glycemic control without insulin therapy will be evaluated by measuring

- A fasting glucose (\> 8 hours) less than 1.25 g/L and a 2 hours glucose after oral intake of 75g of glucose, less than 2 g/L in a patient without insulin for at least 15 consecutive days during the the first 6 months from day 0.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Decreased glycemic variabilitywithin 2 years after inclusion

defined on blood glucose and / or glucose holter

term graft survivalwithin 2 years of inclusion

defined by the rate of C-peptide

potential of each infusion of isletswithin 2 years after inclusion

number of IEQ/kg of recipient required to reduce the daily insulin dose of 1 unit

Obtaining a remission of diabeteswithin 2 years after inclusion

The remission of diabetes is defined by the normality of blood glucose or insulin without lHbA1c.

The normality of blood glucose is defined below 1.20 g/L and postprandial fasting glycemia less than 1.60 g/L in the book self-monitoring (including 6/7 blood glucoses during the previous 3 days evaluation visit).

Normal HbA1c is defined as less than 6.5%.

Decrease in the frequency, severity or poor perception of hypoglycaemia defined Hypo scorewithin the 2 years after inclusion
Restoration of normal glycemic control without insulin for a year1 year
Obtaining an improvement in glycemic controlwithin 2 years after inclusion

HbA1c \<6.5%, with lower insulin doses by 30%
