Outcome Measures

  • Evidence of clinically relevant beta cell function.

    2 years

Interventions

Intraportal injection of an islet cell graft into the liver.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • type 1 insulin-dependent diabetic patients in relatively good general condition
  • non-smoker
  • body weight \< 80 kg
  • C-peptide \< 0.03 nmol/l (\<0.09 µg/l) 6 min. after glucagon IV (1mg) (glycemia \> 180 mg/dl)
  • EBV antibody positive
  • cooperative and reliable patient giving informed consent by signature; the patient should be informed in sufficient detail on the content and procedure of the protocol, indicating potential risks of intervention and of immunosuppressive therapy; the patient should also be informed that withdrawal of immunosuppressive therapy in patients with persistent plasma C-peptide positivity may result in subsequent loss of ß-cell graft function; the ß cell implant should be identified as a clinical trial

You may not qualify if:

  • history of thrombosis or pulmonary embolism
  • abnormal liver function
  • HLA antibodies
