Study Summary

This trial uses a patient's own immune cells that are "educated" by cord blood stem cells in order to improveC-peptide levels, reduce median glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) values, and decrease median daily usage of insulin in Type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults and children over 14 with Type 1 Diabetes, diagnosed within the last two years. Participants must have a certain level of C-peptide, use continuous glucose monitoring, consent to study requirements including birth control for women, and not be on immunosuppressants or have other autoimmune diseases.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
Stem Cell Educator therapy is being tested in this trial. It involves circulating a patient's blood through a device where immune cells are 'educated' by cord blood stem cells to potentially reverse autoimmunity in Type 1 Diabetes patients.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed but may include discomfort from venous access for apheresis (blood processing), potential reactions related to immune modulation, and typical risks associated with blood handling.
