Lab-made insulin cells for diabetes treatment
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial studies a new treatment made from special cells that can make insulin for people with diabetes. The goal is to see if these cells can help control blood sugar and reduce the need for insulin injections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether lab-grown islet cells (pancreatic organoids) can help control blood sugar in people who develop diabetes after having most or all of their pancreas removed. If successful, this could reduce the need for insulin shots.
This trial tests whether transplanting your own insulin-making cells (islets) can help control blood sugar if you have type 2 diabetes and your pancreas is not making enough insulin. The goal is to reduce or stop your need for insulin injections.
This trial tests if umbilical cord stem cells can improve the success of islet cell transplants for people with diabetes whose own pancreas no longer makes enough insulin. It aims to help patients achieve better blood sugar control and reduce dangerous low blood sugar episodes.
This Phase 1 study tests a new immune-system strategy around islet transplantation (or donor bone marrow therapy) to improve control of type 1 diabetes and reduce dangerous low blood sugar. It mainly aims to see if the approach is safe and helpful in people with long-standing, difficult-to-manage diabetes.
This trial tests a new treatment made from stem cells that may help people with diabetes who have dangerous low blood sugar episodes. It aims to see if these cells can replace some of the pancreas function and prevent severe hypoglycemia.
This study collects skin or blood samples to create stem cells that can be turned into insulin-producing pancreatic cells. It may help people with diabetes and other beta cell disorders by providing cells for future research or treatments.
