ENCRT-103-hPI: Evaluation of an Immune-protected ENCRT-103-hPI Containing Primary Human Islets in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes, With and Without Standard-of-care Portal Vein Islet Infusion.

July 7, 2026 updated by: Encellin

Evaluation of ENCRT-103-hPI, an Immune-protected Combination Product Containing Primary Human Islets in Adults With Type 1 Diabetes, With and Without Standard-of-care Portal Vein Islet Infusion.

This study will evaluate the safety and performance of ENCRT-103-hPI, which is a cargo of primary islets inside Encellin's ENC-103-CED. The 103 offers a soft pillow-like encasing to contain and protect the cells from the immune system. The product is implanted in the upper arm or abdomen and is approximately the size of a quarter. Eligibility is open to both patients on a standard of care islet infusion wait list, as well as those who are not. Participation in this trial does not preclude future Encellin trial participation. The study duration is 4.5months and requires keeping the implant for 4 months, as well as adhering to a standard of care schedule of follow ups during the implant period.

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

This study is a dual-arm, three-centre, non-randomized, FIH trial that will evaluate the safety of the ENCRT-103-hPI in patients with T1D. Study subjects may be receiving standard of care islet infusion (cohort A), or not (cohort B). Cohort B will receive a special access drug regimen compared to cohort A's standard of care immune management.

Both cohorts will experience equivalent processes: donor matching, comparable ENCRT-103-hPI dosages, implant into the upper arm or abdomen, explant at 4 mo and post surgical followup.

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and local tissue response of fully immune-protected ENCRT devices containing primary human islets in adults with Type 1 Diabetes. Included in assessments are vascular integration and immune cell exclusion.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate of the activity, function, and survival of the donor islets from the retrieved ENCRT-103-hPI.

The exploratory objectives include measures of circulating and stimulated C-peptide, HbA1c, insulin use doses, and when available, CGM trends.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Cohort A: ENCRT-103-hPI with standard of care
Patients receive standard of care islet infusion and the intervention of an ENCRT implant on the same day. Cohort A also receives standard of care drug regimen for immune management.
Device: ENCRT-103-hPI encompasses the ENC-103 device, which will be implanted once loaded with primary islet cargo.

The ENC-103-CED is a unique device on the landscape. It is a soft, device made of non-fibrosis inducing material and design features. ENCRT-103-hPI that will be implanted consists of this device loaded with primary islets.

Both cohorts A and B will receive the intervention of an ENCRT-103-hPI implant.

Experimental: Cohort B: ENCRT-103-hPI only
Patients receive only an ENCRT implant (the intervention) and a special access drug regimen for immune management.

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.
