NCT ID NCT04061746

First seen Apr 26, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether a single infusion of stem cells from donated umbilical cord blood can safely preserve insulin-making cells in people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. 60 adults aged 18-40 with new-onset diabetes will receive the cells and be monitored for a year. The goal is to slow disease progression and reduce the need for insulin injections, not to cure the condition.
