Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This project aims to evaluate the efficacy of autologous mesenchymal stem cell treatment to preserve insulin production and beta-cell mass in recently diagnosed patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. The hypothesis to be tested is that an increased number of circulating mesenchymal stem cells will provide immune modulatory properties, and thereby stop the immune process in islets causing progressive beta-cell death.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation
  • Procedure: sham transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells
Phase 2

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Placebo Comparator: sham transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells

control arm with sham transplantation

Procedure: sham transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells
Placebo control for transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells

Active Comparator: autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation

Active arm with transplantation of cells

Biological: autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. ∆-change of C-peptide Area Under the Curve (AUC) (0-120 min) for a mixed meal tolerance test at two year follow-up when compared to pre-treatment values at enrolment. [∆-change will be assessed as a difference between two years after transplantation/sham transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells when compared to before transplantation/sham transplantation, i.e. at time 0.]
