Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Reparixin
Reparixin + Immunosuppression Reparixin was administered at a dose of 2.772 mg/kg body weight/hour for 7 days (168 hours) at each transplant. It was administered as a continuous IV infusion into a (high-flow) central vein. Investigational Product infusion was to begin approximately 12 hours (range between 6 to 16 hours) before each pancreatic islet infusion was started. The Investigator identified the time to start study drug administration. Reparixin was given to all patients of this arm using the same dosing solution (reparixin 11.00 mg/mL), but the pump rate was adjusted to provide an infusion rate of approximately 0.25 mL/kg/hour. For immunosoppression regimen see the other arm description. |
Reparixin + immunosuppression
Other Names:

No Intervention: No experimental intervention
Immunosuppression only.
Induction: First islet infusion: anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), administered IV (central vein) at the dose of 1.5 mg/kg on Day -1, 0, 1, and 2 of islet infusion.
The first ATG injection was preceded by a bolus IV injection of 500 mg methylprednisolone.
Induction for the second islet infusion was to be administered per center practice.
Maintenance: Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), administered orally at the dose of 1 g twice a day, starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion; Tacrolimus, administered orally starting on Day -1 of the first islet infusion at a dose of 0.087 mg/kg twice a day.
Thereafter, dosing was to be targeted to blood trough levels of 8 to 10 ng/mL.
Administration continued up to Month 3 after the first transplant.
Rapamycin was to replace tacrolimus from Month 3 after the first transplant.
It was to be administered orally at the starting dose of 0.1 mg/kg once a day, then targeted to a blood trough level of 10 to 12 ng/mL.

Beta-cell Function as Assessed by Beta-score
Time Frame: Months 1, 3, 6, 12 post-transplant
|
The beta-score provides a simple clinical scoring system that encompasses glycemic control, diabetes therapy, and endogenous insulin secretion that correlates well with physiological measures of beta-cell function. On this basis, it is suitable as an overall measure of beta-cell transplant function. Beta score is a composite scoring system based on fasting plasma glucose values, HbA1c, insulin independence or use of insulin/OHAs, and the determination of stimulated C-peptide levels. Normal values are given a score of 2, intermediate values merit a score of 1, and clearly abnormal values garner no points. Thus, a perfect score is 8, and a score of 0 indicates absolute absence of beta-cell function. |
Months 1, 3, 6, 12 post-transplant
|
Beta-cell Function as Assessed by TEF/IEQ/kg Ratio
Time Frame: At months 1, 3, 6 after transplant 1 and months 1,3, 6, and 12 after transplant 2
