Autologous Bone Marrow Transplant in Chronic Insulin Dependent Diabetic Patients

A Phase 2/3 interventional study of Adult Bone Marrow Stem Cells in Diabetes Mellitus Progression and Diabetes Complications, sponsored by Global Cell Med. Status unknown at 1 site in Bahamas. Open to participants aged 16 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-06-19.

Study summary

Diabetes, recently declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, is a risk factor for increased mortality and morbidity. Its multi-functional complications, in the short and long term, are a serious problems for the global public health. Millions of patients, the world over, suffer Diabetes, a chronic and degenerative disease without treatments today. America, and particularly the Caribbean and Central America Region, is seriously affected despite the efforts of the Public Health Systems. Caribbean Region presented nearly twice the incidence and prevalence of type 1 and type 2 diabetes when compared with the rest of the Americas. Today stem cells are emerging as a valid alternative of treatment. In vitro experiments with adult stem cells demonstrated their ability to migrate and differentiate into cells of different lineages. The bone marrow stem cells are safe, effective and have a lot of scientific evidence that supports the carrying out of clinical research in phases II and III. Our protocol is an Autologous Bone Marrow Stem Cell Transplantation, without immune suppression or cell cultures. Our hypothesis is that the stem cells will act as immune modulators, angiogenic and in a regenerative way stimulating quiescent stem cells and improving the metabolic control by endogenous secretion of insulin.

Read the detailed description

Our clinical trial, authorized and controlled by the Government of Bahamas, offer safety data and effectiveness that encourage continued research. We will divide the patients into a treatment group and into a control group. We will control insulin daly dose, c peptide, A1C glycated hemoglobin and specific antibodies. Follow up two years.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 19, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
