Stem Cells From Human Exfoliated Teeth in Treatment of Diabetic Patients With Significantly Reduced Islet Function

Early Phase 1

• Conditions: Type1diabetes
• Interventions: Biological: Stem cells from human exfoliated teeth

• Registration Number: NCT03912480
• Lead Sponsor: CAR-T (Shanghai) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

Brief Summary

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Stem cells from human exfoliated teeth transplantation in patients with Islet function decreased significantly to provides scientific basis for further clinical studies to verify the safety and efficacy. On the basis of maintaining the original treatment, intravenous drip of dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells.

Detailed Description

Basic treatment:

The original treatment regimen was maintained. During the study period, insulin dose could be adjusted with the change of blood glucose, while the type and dose of oral hypoglycemic drugs remained unchanged (except when side effects of drugs or insulin preparations were stopped or patients still had frequent hypoglycemia).

Stem cell therapy:

Dosage: Stem cells from human exfoliated teeth were calculated at 0.11IU/kg body weight .

Course of treatment: 3 times, Injections were administered at enrollment, 2 weeks after enrollment, and 6 weeks after enrollment.

Note: at 1 month follow-up (V5) after the last transplantation of several cells, the subjects were still unable to discontinue insulin, and then began the second course of stem cell therapy.After the second course of treatment, the follow-up plan was resumed.
