Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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.

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

Experimental: mesenchymal stem cell transplantation
Patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus on full doses of Vildagliptin+Pioglitazone+Metformin and requiring Insulin at dose of >0.4unit/Kg for blood glucose control.
Biological: mesenchymal stem cell transplantation
20 - 30 ml of bone marrow will be aspirated and layered on density gradient medium (Ficoll - hypaque ) and stem cells will be separated. Separated mono nucleated cells will be dissolved in minimum essential medium and inoculated in culturing flask and mesenchymal will be allowed to adhere to culturing flask and mesenchymal stem cell will be injected into superior pancreatic duodenal artery . Patients will be urged to monitor and document blood glucose readings for next 6 months. Glucagon stimulated C - peptide HYPERGLYCEMIC CLAMP FOR ASSESSMENT OF BETA CELL FUNCTION , Homeostasis Model of Assessment - Insulin Resistance and Beta cell function ,HbA1c, lipid profile and biochemistry will be done at baseline and 6 months .
Sham Comparator: Control
vildagliptin+metformin+pioglitazone and on Insulin >0.4unit/Kg who will act as active control.They will receive injectable placebo at Day 1 in addition to above and will be followed up for 6 months.Follow up investigation and Insulin dose titration will be similar to Group 1
Other: control
5 ml of bone marrow will be aspirated and 3 mL of Vitamin B complex will be injected through transfemoral route into superior pancreatico-duodenal artery.
