Concise Review: Lessons Learned from Islet Transplant Clinical Trials in Developing Stem Cell Therapies for Type 1 Diabetes
Abstract
We examined data and patterns in clinical islet transplant studies registered on clinicaltrials.gov (CTgov) for treatment of type 1 diabetes (T1D), with a goal of extracting insights to apply in the design of a pluripotent stem cell‐derived islet therapy. Clinical islet transplantation, as a cell therapy (rather than solid organ transplant) is a unique precedent for stem cell‐based islet therapies. Registration activity shows that the field is not growing significantly, and newer registrations suggest that the reasons for stagnation include need for a more optimal site of infusion/transplantation, and especially a need for better immune protective strategies to advance a more effective and durable therapy for T1D.
