A Study to Investigate Safety and Effectiveness of Porcine Pancreatic Cells (OPF-310) in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (NCT06575426)
A Phase I/IIa, Single Site, Open-Label, Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of OPF-310 [Encapsulated Porcine Islet Cells for Xenotransplantation] in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study is First In Human study for Encapsulated Porcine Islet Cells for Xenotransplantation (OPF-310). The purpose of this study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of OPF-310 transplantation and to define the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) in adult subjects with unstable Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and a level 3 (severe) hypoglycemic episode at least three times within the 1 year prior to enrollment despite treatment with a closed loop system (CLS) for at least 6 months.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (14 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (36 items).

🧪 Interventions in This Study
📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous history of insulin resistance (defined as an average insulin dose requirement ≥ 0.8 unit/kg/day for 1 week prior to enrollment).
- Subject has latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), ketosis-prone (Flatbush) diabetes, or maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY).
- CRP ≥ 10 mg/L.
- Clinically unstable thyroid disease (thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)\< the lower limit of the normal range of TSH at the site.) Patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism can be rescreened once TSH levels normalize due to treatment or other factors.
- History of malignancies within the past 5 years, excluding basal and squamous cell carcinoma
- Positive serologies or nucleic acid testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C, and hepatitis B.
- Active or untreated proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Subjects may be rescreened once they are successfully treated.
- Serious comorbid conditions that are likely to affect participation in the study, including:
- Within the last 12 months, peripheral vascular disease with previous amputation.
- History of New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II, III or IV congestive heart failure (CHF) and/or chronic atrial fibrillation.
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma with previous hospitalization for decompensation; a requirement for mechanical ventilation at any stage; or long- term treatment with oral corticosteroids.
