Study Summary
This trial is testing a new device for people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus who have hypoglycemia unawareness and a history of severe hypoglycemic episodes. The device is implanted in the abdominal wall and is designed to form a natural environment for therapeutic cells to be transplanted into. The goal of the trial is to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of islet transplantation into the device.

Most importantly, candidates must also be able to comply with the procedures of the study protocol, have a compatible clinical history with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, insulin dependent for at least 5 years, and both the patient's age and insulin dependent diabetes duration must add up to 28 or more. In addition, patients must be intensively managing their diabetes under the direction of an endocrinologist, diabetologist, or diabetes specialist—this includes having three or more clinical evaluations in the 12 months leading up to consent" - Anonymous Online Contributor
What are the main goals that researchers hope to achieve with this trial?
"The sponsor of the study, Sernova Corp, reports that the primary objective is to measure safety by evaluating adverse events over a 365 day period ±14 days. This will be done by looking at the incidence and severity of probable or highly probable adverse events related to the Cell Pouch™. Additionally, this trial will look at secondary outcomes including hypoglycemic event reduction and HbA1c levels post-transplant. Finally, this study will also observe if there is survival of endocrine tissue in the Cell Pouch™ following transplantation." - Anonymous Online Contributor
