Could a single cell infusion help newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes patients?
NCT ID NCT05626712
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new treatment called CELZ-201 for people recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The treatment involves a one-time infusion of cells from donated tissue into the pancreas. The main goal is to see if it is safe, but researchers will also check if it helps the body keep making its own insulin. Only 18 adults aged 18–35 will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CELZ-201 (perinatal tissue derived cells)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a way to preserve insulin production in people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, potentially reducing their need for insulin shots.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (18 people) focused mainly on safety. It is too soon to know if the treatment will actually help control diabetes, and there may be risks from the cell infusion or the procedure itself.
