简要总结
The present proof of concept study addresses the following specific aims:
The general objectives of this work are:
- To increase and maintain the functional beta-cell mass after islet transplantation under a condition of low-dose tacrolimus
- To co-investigate the potential of alternative sites for encapsulated beta-cells
详细描述
- Aim 1: To increase functional beta cell mass by adding rituximab at first implantation
- Aim 2: To increase functional beta cell mass by adding basilixumab at second implantation
- Aim 3: To assess the influence of down-tapering the tacrolimus dose during posttransplant years 2-5 on these data, on metabolic control, on the prevalence of hypoglycemia and on safety parameters.
- Aim 4: To investigate the potential of the peritoneum and omentum as an alternative site for encapsulated beta-cells.
- Aim 5: To investigate the potential of the brachioradial muscle as an alternative site for encapsulated beta-cells.
