Safety and Effectiveness of Low Molecular Weight Sulfated Dextran in Islet Transplantation After Kidney Transplant

NCT00790439

RandomizedParallel-groupOpen-labelTreatment

Summary

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an autoimmune disease in which the insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells are destroyed, resulting in poor blood sugar control. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of low molecular weight sulfated dextran (LMW-SD) on post-transplant islet function in people with T1D who have responded to intensive insulin therapy and have received kidney transplants. This study is taking place in Uppsala and Stockholm, Sweden, and Oslo, Norway.
