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

10 years to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Stage A Safety: Side effects reported for entire cohort
Time Frame: Reported during the first 20-27 days following sP administration
To determine if there are unexpected adverse events with intra arterial delivery of sP into the celiac artery in individuals with Type 1 Diabetes, and evidence of residual beta cell function as reflected by a peak C---peptide levels of > 200 pmol/L. Multiple measurements per patient will be aggregated to arrive at one reported value: Number of participants with abnormal laboratory values, adverse events and/or peak C-peptide levels >200pmol/L that are related to treatment.
Reported during the first 20-27 days following sP administration

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
C-Peptide Levels (small cohort)
Time Frame: Day 20-27 post sP injection
To determine in an initial small cohort (n=12, toxicity and dose finding cohort) if one or more sP doses significantly increases the basal or stimulated c---Peptide levels at Day 20---27 post---injection using data from Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT).
Day 20-27 post sP injection
C-Peptide Levels (large cohort)
Time Frame: Day 20-27 post sP injection
To assess in a larger cohort (n=40, continued safety and efficacy) whether sP dose, determined from the dose finding cohort, significantly increases basal or stimulated C-- peptide levels at Day 20---27 post sP---injection using MMTT data.
Day 20-27 post sP injection

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
sP Longevity
Time Frame: 3 and 6 months
To determine an estimate of sP longevity in the entire cohort of patients, by monitoring HbA1c values, exogenous insulin requirement, daily recorded blood sugar levels and adverse event recording at 3 and 6 months post injection of sP. Multiple measurements per patient will be aggregated to arrive at one reported value for the aforementioned outcome measures.
