Treatment of Patients With Newly Onset of Type 1 Diabetes With Mesenchymal Stem Cells

February 4, 2014 updated by: Per-Ola Carlsson, Uppsala University Hospital

Open Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Treatment of Recently Diagnosed Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

The main hypothesis of the investigators study is that the development of autoimmune diabetes may be halted att diagnosis by the immune modulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Ability to provide written informed consent
  • Mentally stable and able to comply with the procedures of the study protocol
  • Clinical history compatible with type 1 diabetes diagnosed less than 10 days of enrolment Stimulate c-peptide >0.1 nmol/l

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with BMI>30
  • Patients with unstable cardiovascular status
  • Patients with active infections, unless treatment is not judged necessary by the investigators
  • Patients with serological evidence of infection with HIV, hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
  • Sexually active females who are not a) postmenopausal, b) surgically sterile or c) using an acceptable method of contraception: oral contraceptives, Norplant, Depo-provera and barrier devices combined with spermicidal gel are acceptable.
  • Patients with known or previous malignancy. Patient with any condition or any circumstance that in the opinion of the investigator would make it unsafe to undergo treatment with autologous MSC.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control
Active Comparator: Mesenchymal stem cells
Comparison of active treatment with autologous mesenchymal stem cells (in addition to standard treatment) to standard treatment of patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
