BDC and LCT will collaboratively pursue regulatory approval and then conduct a U.S. clinical trial in Type 1 diabetes with DiabeCell(R), LCT's encapsulated porcine insulin producing cells. The proposed U.S. trial is planned to commence in 2009 and will be planned utilizing the clinical protocols and results from LCT's trials in Russia and New Zealand.
Professor George Eisenbarth, Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at the BDC said: "The lack of adverse effects and the encouraging early clinical results from LCT's first DiabeCell(R) trial have prompted us to do a trial in Denver."
Dr. Paul Tan, Chief Executive Officer of LCT added: "We are pleased to have the extensive clinical trial capability of experts from one of the most established diabetes centers in the U.S. to help us get DiabeCell(R) to people with diabetes."
BDC is the largest diabetes and endocrine care program in Colorado. The Center is managed as a distinct administrative unit of the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine.
BDC provides unique facilities and resources for clinicians, clinical researchers and basic biomedical scientists working to help patients with Type 1 diabetes. The Center provides state-of-the-art clinical diabetes care to 80% of children in Colorado and many adults within the Rocky Mountain Region, as well as receiving national and international referrals.
