Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see if a patient's ability (and/ or parent) to read, write, and do basic math problems affects blood sugar control in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective treatment option for managing naturally occurring hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. Hypotheses: 1. Sucrose and Fructose are equally effective as glucose in the treatment of spontaneous hypoglycemia in children with type 1 diabetes. 2. Children and teens will use a variety of treatment practices for the management of hypoglycemia. 3. Children and teens will prefer the mode of treatment that was most effective in treating hypoglycemia.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether intravenous administration of autologous adipose stem cells is safe and beneficial in patients with type 1 diabetes.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and safety of simultaneous islet-kidney transplantation in patients of type 1 diabetes with end-stage renal disease using a glucocorticoid-free immunosuppressive regimen with alemtuzumab induction. Islet transplantation can result in insulin independence with excellent metabolic control when glucocorticoid-free immunosuppression is combined with the infusion of an adequate islet mass. Alemtuzumab (Campath-1H ®) is a 150-kDa humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody that targets the CD52 antigen. Prolonged lymphocyte depletion can be expected following alemtuzumab treatment.
The purpose of this study is to establish the safety and efficacy of multiple administrations of PROCHYMAL® in participants recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
In an earlier Phase 1/2 clinical trial using the Edmonton Protocol of steroid free immunosuppression, investigators at University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) demonstrated the safety of islet preparation, iset transplantation, and medical treatment at UIC. Therefore, the primary purpose of the present Phase 3 clinical trial is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic islet transplantation in improving glycemic control in Type 1 diabetic patients using the UIC protocol that was developed and proven effective during the Phase 1/2 clinical trial.
In this study the islets will be surface modified to carry immobilised heparin (Corline Heparin Conjugate) prior to transplantation. The primary objective is to investigate safety and efficacy of allogeneic islet transplantation using islets coated with immobilised heparin. The modification with heparin has been shown to protect the islets from being attacked by the immediate defence systems in blood (coagulation and inflammation), so that a larger portion of the islets will survive the initial phase and engraft. Evaluation will be based on metabolic and blood chemistry parameters.
The primary objective of this protocol is to test the safety and efficacy of a treatment regimen consisting of maintenance therapy with efalizumab and sirolimus for 1 year followed by withdrawal of efalizumab and maintenance therapy with sirolimus, for the prevention of the destruction and rejection of islet transplants in type 1 diabetic recipients. Genentech, the manufacturer of efalizumab voluntarily withdrew the drug from the U.S. market in April of 2009. Previously transplanted subjects have been transitioned to alternative immunosuppressives and no new subjects will be transplanted under this protocol.
The study evaluates the safety and efficacy of Cotransplantation of Islet and Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Type 1 Diabetic Patients. The researchers hypothesize that additional Mesenchymal Stem Cell infusion can benefit the promising clinical islet transplantation through the following mechanisms: protection of islet from inflammatory damage, immunological modulation, engraftment promotion, thus decrease or eliminate the need of exogenous insulin and improve β-cell function.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether control of inflammatory pathways mediated by IL-1 beta using the IL-1 receptor antagonist anakinra will yield measurable decreases in expression of genes that are otherwise overexpressed as a consequence of IL-1 beta effects in children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes. Ultimately, we believe that control of IL-1 beta pathways will be associated with preserved insulin secretory capacity.
