RECRUITING

Cellular Therapy for Type 1 Diabetes Using Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of fresh metabolically active allogeneic umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC-MSCs) for the treatment of new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) and to understand the mechanisms of protection. If proven effective, such a strategy can be used as a therapeutic option for T1D patients and potentially other autoimmune disorders.

  3. * Presence of malignancy
  4. * Subject has abnormally high lipid levels that exceeds \> 3 times the upper limit of normal for LDL cholesterol or triglycerides
  5. * Subject has blood pressure greater than 160 mmHg systolic or 100 mmHg diastolic at time of consent
  6. * Subject is being treated for severe active infection of any type
  7. * A female subject who is breast-feeding, pregnant, or intends to become pregnant during the study.
  8. * Subject with clinically relevant uncontrolled medical condition not associated with diabetes (e.g. severe psychiatric, hematologic, renal, hepatic, neurologic, cardiac, or respiratory disorder)
  9. * Subjects with HgbA1c \>12%, and/or fasting blood glucose \>270 mg/dL and/or frequent episodes of hypoglycemia (\>2 episodes per week of blood glucose levels \<60 mg/dL).
