The secondary objective is to assess efficacy through a series of defined measures. Patients enrolled in Sernova's clinical trial are incapable of producing C-peptide, a biomarker for insulin produced by islet cells. \n\n\n \nEligible subjects are implanted with Cell Pouches. Following the development of vascularized tissue chambers within the Cell Pouch, subjects are then stabilized on immunosuppression and a dose of purified islets, under strict release criteria, transplanted into the Cell Pouch. \n\n\n \nA sentinel pouch is removed for an early assessment of the islet transplant. Subjects are followed for additional safety and efficacy measures for approximately six months. At this point, a decision is made with regards to the transplant of a second islet dose with subsequent safety and efficacy follow up. Patients will be then further followed for one year to assess longer-term safety and efficacy. \n\n\n \nFor more information on the clinical trial A Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy Study of Sernova's Cell Pouch(TM) for Clinical Islet Transplantation, please visit www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03513939.
