Producing stem cells for pancreatic cell research
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 12 and 70 years old.
- You either have a pancreatic beta cell condition (like type 1 or 2 diabetes, MODY, Wolfram syndrome) OR you are a healthy volunteer.
- You are able to give consent (or have a parent/guardian do so).
- You do not have active cancer, HIV, hepatitis B or C.
- You are not taking strong steroids or immune-suppressing drugs (unless approved by study doctors).

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 study is looking at how a sugar-processing protein, called GLUT1, affects the immune system in people with type 1 diabetes. It uses blood samples already stored in a biobank, so no new samples or treatments are needed from you.
This trial tests an experimental gene therapy using your own stem cells to treat early type 1 diabetes. It aims to preserve insulin-making cells and potentially reduce your need for insulin.
This study tests a treatment that uses a patient's own immune cells to help the body make more insulin. It may help people with type 1 diabetes manage their blood sugar better.
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.
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.
