About this trial

This is a clinical trial for chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients undergoing total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT). Participants will be randomized to either bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or control with the standard of care. Participants will be followed for one-year post-transplant.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in Islet Cell Function

The primary endpoint will be change in islet function between baseline and 12 months as measured by area under the curve of C-peptide levels during a mixed meal tolerance test (MMTT) adjusted by islet equivalent number (IEQ) transplanted.

Time frame
1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Change in HbA1C levels from baseline to 12 months.

Change in HbA1C levels from baseline to 12 months

Time frame

4

Beta cell function as assessed by beta-score

β-score is an assessment of beta cell function after islet transplantation incorporating fasting plasma glucose levels, HbA1c, daily insulin, and stimulated c-peptide. The range of the score is from 0 to 8. Higher number means better beta cell transplant function.

Time frame
1 year

Other outcomes

1

Change in islet function between baseline to day 90±28

Change in islet function between baseline to day 90±28. Islet function will be indicated by area under the curve of C-peptide levels during a mixed meal tolerance test adjusted by islet equivalent number transplanted.

Time frame
90 days

Proportion of patients remaining on narcotics

Proportion of patients remaining on narcotics (day 90±28 to day 365±28).

Short form (SF)-12 Quality of Life score

SF-12 Quality of Life score, Scores range from 0 to100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental healthy functioning.
