简要总结
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is strictly autoimmune mediated disease destructing the islets β-cell of the pancreas. Mesenchymal stem cells and its microvesicles are reported as an anti-inflammatory agents. We hypothesis that intravenous infusion of cell free umbilical cord-blood derived MSC microvesicles may reduce the inflammatory state and hence improve the β-cell mass as well as the glycemic control of the patients of T1DM.
详细描述
- Twenty T1DM patients, age between 18-60 years with reduction of C-peptide chain more than 50%, C-peptide of more than 0.8 ng/mL at Screening and requiring insulin ≥0.4 IU per kg per day.
- Twenty T1DM patients of the same entry selection criteria will be subjected to all steps except the microvesicles administration as a control group.
- Study follow up period: Three months
- Gender: Both males and females are included
- Entry selection criteria include:
UACR less than 300, BUN between 10-20 mg/dl, serum creatinin between 0.6-1.4 mg/dl and normal liver enzymes, normal serum bilirubin, normal serum albumin and coagulation profile). C-peptide of more than 0.8 ng/mL at Screening. BMI 20-40 kgm/m2 - Exclusion criteria: Other autoimmune diseases. Pregnancy. Previous treatment with stem cells. All patients and controls will be investigated for HBV, HCV & HIV by PCR test before enrollment in the study and positivity for any of these parameters means exclusion of this patient from the study.
- The primary end point will be the end of three months follow up. At day (0):All patients and controls will be subjected to the following investigations: Liver functions tests, kidney functions tests, HbA1c, glucose tolerance test (GTT), fasting and 2 hrs.post prandial blood glucose levels, C-peptide chain level and calculated total daily insulin dose.
After three months (at the end of the study) the same investigations will be repeated.
Two intravenous infusions of cell free cord-blood derived mesenchymal stem cells [CB-MSC] microvesicles:

结局指标
主要结局
Total daily insulin dose
时间窗: Three months
All T1DM patients with identified pre-study insulin dose and exosomes and microvesicles will be given then weekly follow up of the total daily insulin dose will be measured. After 3 months We calculate the total daily dose of insulin that maintain the RBS levels between 120-160 mg/dl at any point of the evaluation period.
次要结局
- Pancreatic β-cell Mass(3 months)
