Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cell Transplantation in T2DM

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

• Registration Number: NCT01759823
• Lead Sponsor: Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to improve the blood glucose level in type 2 diabetic patients.

Detailed Description

We hypothesize that Autologous bone marrow derived stem cells which would be expanded into culture and their subsequent transplant into the pancreas of patients with T2DM, aged 30 - 70 years with triple oral hypoglycemic agent failure and on insulin(\>0.4 U/ kg body weight/day) will lead to abolition or reduction of insulin requirement by more than or equal to 50% in these patients over a period of 6 months. It is assumed that stem cell in these patients leads to increased angiogenesis, secretion of various cytokines and upregulation of pancreatic transcription factors and Vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and creates a micro-environment which supports beta cell/resident stem cell activation and survival.
