Filter by: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.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the performance of the GlucoTrack device (non invasive device) in measuring blood glucose levels
The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT,1983-1993) compared intensive therapy aimed at near-normal glycemia versus conventional therapy with no specific glucose targets in 1441 subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) over a mean follow-up of 6.5 years. Intensive therapy reduced the risks of retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy by 35-76%. The level of glycemia was the primary determinant of complications. We also described the adverse effects of intensive therapy; assessed its effects on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, neurocognition and quality of life; and projected the lifetime health-economic impact. After the primary DCCT results were reported in 1993, intensive therapy aiming for a HbA1c <7% was adopted world-wide as standard-of-care for T1DM. The Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC, 1994-present) is the observational follow-up study of the DCCT cohort. Micro- and cardio-vascular complications and a wide range of established and putative risk factors, including genetic and epigenetic factors, have been measured with standardized methods, carefully documented and events adjudicated. EDIC has notably shown that the early beneficial effects of intensive versus conventional therapy on complications persisted for ~15 years despite the convergence of HbA1c levels in the two groups during EDIC, a novel concept termed metabolic memory. Prior intensive therapy was also shown to reduce substantially the risk of CVD events and mortality. The overarching goals for the current cycle (2022-2027) are to study the occurrence and identify potentially modifiable risk factors of the more advanced microvascular and cardiovascular complications and physical and cognitive dysfunction that are occurring with increasing diabetes duration and age. With increasing longevity, the increased adiposity that has affected patients with T1DM, including EDIC participants, has potential adverse consequences. Thus, the impact of diabetes duration, aging and adiposity on morbidities and their underlying risk factors will be studied. The results will guide treatment priorities as T1DM patients age.
The long-term goal of the TEDDY study is the identification of infectious agents, dietary factors, or other environmental agents, including psychosocial factors which trigger T1DM in genetically susceptible individuals or which protect against the disease. Identification of such factors will lead to a better understanding of disease pathogenesis and result in new strategies to prevent, delay or reverse T1DM.
The main purpose of the study is to investigate the reason for the reduced number of hypoglycaemic attacks in type 1 diabetic patients when, for a period of time, using Insulin Aspart at meals together with NPH insulin mornings and evenings, and when, in another period of time, using human fast-working insulin at meals and NPH insulin mornings and evenings, and when the patients in both periods simultaneously take extra insulin at meals if high blood glucose values are found before meals.
