Clinical Trial

Disease: Type 1 Diabetes, T1D (NCT05565248)

Disease info:

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that results in destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. The resulting insulin deficiency leads to rising blood glucose levels that over time can lead to a range of complications involving the heart, eyes, kidneys, nerves, gums and teeth.

T1D may debut at any age but it usually begins in childhood or early adulthood, and is fatal if untreated. The standard current treatment is regular blood glucose monitoring and subcutaneous administration of modified human insulin expressed in heterologous hosts, e.g., E. coli.

Frequency:
Approximately 1 out of every 300 individuals will develop type 1 diabetes by the age of 18 in the United States and Europe. The rate is much lower in Asia and South America with only 1 in 1 million new cases per year.

Description

This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of VCTX211 Combination Product in Subjects with T1D.

VCTX211 combination product (unit) compromises 2 components: (1) allogeneic pancreatic endoderm cells (PEC211) genetically modified using Cluster Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/ CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR-Cas9) to promote immune evasiveness and survival, and (2) a durable, removable, perforated device designed to deliver and retain PEC211 cells.
