Trial Summary

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, since participants must be on insulin therapy, you will likely continue with that medication.

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a 78-week single arm, multi-center, Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, cellular kinetics, and biomarker changes in C-peptide over time of GNTI-122, an investigational cell therapy manufactured from a participant's own blood cells in adult participants with recently diagnosed T1D. After assessment of eligibility, participants who qualify for the study will be enrolled sequentially in 1 of 3 cohorts. Cohort 1 participants (n=3) receive a low dose of GNTI-122 . Cohort 2 participants (n=3) receive a high dose of GNTI-122. Cohort 3 participants (n=10) receive a high dose of GNTI-122 in combination with rapamycin. Participants are followed for 78 weeks after the administration of GNTI-122 during which safety and efficacy assessments are made, including vital signs, ECG, physical exam, clinical labs, and monitoring of adverse events and concomitant medications. Disease markers (e.g., MMTT-stimulated C-peptide, HbA1c) and pharmacodynamic activity (e.g., lymphocyte subsets and phenotypes, effector T cell responses to islet antigens ex vivo, T1D autoantibodies) will be monitored serially throughout the study. The study will include sentinel dosing and a Safety Review Committee to ensure participant safety.

Trial Overview The trial is testing GNTI-122, a cell therapy made from participants' own blood cells. There are three groups: one gets a low dose, another a high dose, and the third receives a high dose combined with rapamycin. Participants will be monitored over 78 weeks for safety and how well the treatment works.
