Conditions

Type 1 Diabetes

Keywords

Type1 diabetes, porcine islets, treg cells, immunosuppress, xenotransplantation

Brief summary

The neonatal pig islets will be used as donor culturing with our modified culture medium. At the same time the autologous T regulatory cells will be used to induce specific immune tolerance for porcine islets grafts combined the costimulation of T cell activation channel blockers. The treatment for type 1 diabetes will be evaluated the efficacy and safety.

Interventions

OTHERPorcine islets

Porcine islets: 10000IEQ/Kg; Tacrolimus: 0.087mg/kg, Bid; mycophemo-latemofetil (MMF): 1g x 2/d; NULOJIX(belatacept): Day 1 (prior to transplantation), Day 5, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 10mg/kg

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Blood glucose1 yearBefore and after transplantation the patient will be tested the blood glucose. If the blood glucose within 24 hours is stable and no occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis and hypoglycemia.Thirty percent reduction of exogenous insulin requirement will be considered as effective.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Porcine C-peptide1 yearsThe patient will be detected the porcine C-peptide levels after transplantion every three months.
Hemoglobin A1c1 yearsAfter transplantation the patient will be checked hemoglobin A1c every month.The level of HbA1c less than 6.5% was considered as effective.
AST1 yearsAST will be tested every three months.
ALT1 yearsALT will be tested every three months.
Scr1 yearsScr will be tested every three months.
Virus detection2 yearsThe recipient's serum and peripheral blood monouclear cells (PBMC) will be collected for virus detection every six months.
Ultrasonic examination for liver1 yearsUltrasonic examination will be used for the recipient's liver before transplantation and every three month post transplantation.
MRI for liver1 yearsMRI will be used for liver before transplantaion and every three month post transplantation.
Immune cells detection1 yearsThe recipient's peripheral blood monouclear cells (PBMC) and the serum will be collected for immune cell's analysis.
Cytokine detection1 yearsThe recipient's peripheral blood monouclear cells (PBMC) and the serum will be collected cytokine beads array (CBA) test.
BUN1 yearsBUN will be tested every three months.
