First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests a new treatment called SR-02, which uses insulin-making cells implanted in the abdomen (omentum) of adults with type 1 diabetes who have dangerous low blood sugar episodes. The goal is to see if the implant is safe and can help the body produce its own insulin again. Participants will need to take lifelong immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection of the implanted cells.
