September 28, 2012 updated by: Dr Vikas Sood, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research

Tissue Distribution of F18-FDG Labelled Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Stem Cells in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Investigators purpose is to track stem cells in vivo in the type 2 diabetes mellitus patients after the same have been labelled with positron emission tomography tracer F18-FDG; as it is assumed that the therapeutic outcome will profoundly depend on the delivery of these cells to pancreas. Biodistribution and quantification studies will be done at 30 minutes and 90 minutes of stem cell infusion.

Detailed Description

Autologous bone marrow derived stem cells have a promising potential in regenerative medicine. In particular the past decade has garnered a great interest in cellular therapy for treating Type2 diabetes mellitus. The pertinent questions in regenerative medicine today are to know about the homing, survival, differentiation and functionality of the cells and based on these to find out the adequate administration methods and choose the optimal dose and cell types. Various modalities have been used in the preclinical and clinical trials. These include MRI,optical imaging in the form of bioluminescence and fluorescence, quantum dots, SPECT and PET/CT imaging. However the methods which are suitable for stem cell tracking in small animals are not easily translated for human trials. In humans PET/CT imaging with its reasonable resolution and unique ability to combine anatomical and functional imaging is considered to be the best bet yet. Hence we intend to label the autologous bone marrow derived stem cells with PET tracer F18-FDG and carry out biodistribution studies, our ultimate aim being to study how in vivo distribution of the cells affect therapeutic efficacy.

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
28

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

30 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Experimental: Stem cell therapy - SPD artery
Stem cells will be infused into the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.
Other: Stem cell therapy- SPD artery
A total of 28 patients will be enrolled and randomized to four groups of 7 patients each. 7 patients will receive stem cell infusion into the superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
• Increment in glucagon stimulated C - peptide levels at the end of 6 months of ABMSCT, as compared to baseline
Time Frame: 6 months
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame
• Any reduction in requirement of insulin dosage measured as a percentage decrease from baseline • Improvement of HbA1c levels as compared to baseline
