Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Ages 18-70 years, inclusive. 2. Patients eligible for a pancreatic islet transplantation program based on local accepted practice and guidelines. This includes at least: - clinical history compatible with T1D with insulin-dependence for >5 years; - undetectable (=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 2
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Recipients of any previous transplant, including recipients of previous pancreatic islet transplantation. 2. Recipients of islet from a non-heart beating donor. 3. Pre-transplant average daily insulin requirement >1 IU/kg/day. 4. Pre-transplant (the more recent value obtained within the 4 months prior to enrolment) HbA1c >11%. 5. Patients with inadequate renal reserve as per calculated creatinine clearance (CLcr) 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN) and increased total bilirubin > 3mg/dL [>51.3 µmol/L]). Patients with Gilbert's syndrome (elevated unconjugated bilirubin levels in the absence of any evidence of hepatic or biliary tract disease) are not excluded. 7. Patients who receive treatment for a medical condition requiring chronic use of systemic steroids, except for the use of <5mg prednisone daily or equivalent dose of hydrocortisone, for physiological replacement only. 8. Treatment with any anti-diabetic medication other than insulin within 4 weeks of transplant, apart from the GLP-1 agonists (e.g. exenatide or liraglutide) which will be discontined at least 2 weeks prior to transplant. 9. Use of any investigational agent within 12 weeks of enrolment, including "anti-inflammatory" strategies (e.g. anti-TNFa, anti-IL-1 RA). 10. Hypersensitivity to: a) ibuprofen or to more than one non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). b) more than one medication belonging to the class of sulfonamides, such as sulfamethazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfasalazine, nimesulide or celecoxib; hypersensitivity to sulphanilamide antibiotics alone (e.g. sulfamethoxazole) does not qualify for exclusion 11. Pregnant or breast-feeding women; unwillingness to use effective contraceptive measures (females and males). (NB: pregnancy should be avoided in patients or partners during the first month after each treatment with the Investigational Product; no other specific warnings are described, considering even stricter general recommendations concerning pregnancy in transplanted patients, the treatment course of the Investigational Product, its PK profile, and the lack of significant adverse effects on mating performance and fertility in animal studies).
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The objective of this clinical trial is to assess whether reparixin leads to improved transplant outcome as measured by glycaemic control following intra-hepatic infusion of pancreatic islets in type 1diabetes (T1D) patients. The safety of reparixin in the specific clinical setting will be also evaluated.;Secondary Objective: N/A;Primary end point(s): Area Under the Curve (AUC) for the serum C-peptide level during the first 2 hours of an MMTT, normalized by the number of Islet Equivalent (IEQ)/kg;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 75+/-5 after the 1st islet infusion and day 365+/-14 after the last islet infusion | — |

[day 365+/-14 after the last islet infusion]. [day 365+/-14 after the 1st islet infusion]. [day 365+/-14 after the last islet infusion]. [day 75+/-5 after the 1st and 2nd islet infusion and day 365+/-14 after last islet infusion]. [day 75+/-5 after the 1st and 2nd islet infusion and day 365+/-14 after last islet infusion]. [day 75+/-5 after the 1st and 2nd islet infusion and day 365+/-14 after last islet infusion]. [day 75+/-5 after the 1st and 2nd islet infusion and day 365+/-14 after last islet infusion]. | — |
