In 2017 researchers kicked off a Phase 1/2 human clinical trial testing an experimental implant designed to replace the missing insulin cells in type 1 diabetics. The device has been described as a “functional cure” for type 1 diabetes. This means it isn’t a direct cu...
TUESDAY, June 25, 2024 (HealthDay News) -- An experimental stem cell therapy can essentially curetype 1 diabetesby restoring insulin production in some patients, early clinical trial results show. Seven out of 12 patients no longer needed daily insulin shots after receiving a ...
Two participants in a B.C.-led clinical trial into a cure for Type 1 diabetes no longer need to take insulin, in a first for the centuries-old research field. Headed by BC Diabetes founder Dr. Tom Elliott, the trial is testing the viability of using a drug typically used to treat Cro...
nearly a decade ago, promising results from a clinical trial demonstrating that patients who received pancreatic islet cell transplants could become insulin independent stoked hope that islet cell transplantation might one day cure type 1 diabetes. since then, however, such optimism has been tempered ...
"Immunotherapies are edging us towards a new era in type 1 diabetes treatment, and could help us overcome a major hurdle en route to finding a cure for the condition. "This trial takes us another step closer." The study was funded by JDRF, a non-profit organisation which focuses ...

Implanting a pouch of pancreas cells under the skin of type 1 diabetics has enabled them to live without insulin injections for years according to the results of a clinical trial. It’s a big step towards a functional cure for the disease. ...
This is the first time AAT will be evaluated in humans with type 1diabetes. AAT is an FDA-approved off-patent drug currently used to treat pulmonary emphysema among youngsters and adults with an AAT genetic deficiency. "We designed the trial with the same dose of AAT that has been used sa...
Researchers from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), led by Fàtima Bosch, have shown for the first time that it is possible to cure diabetes in large animals with a single session of gene therapy. As published this week in Diabetes, the princi
