Abstract

CONTEXT: Efforts to find a cure for type 1 diabetes have focused on the removal of the autoimmune pathophysiologic substrate, with the use of immunosuppressive regimens including autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT). OBJECTIVE: The main objective of determining long-term insulin independence as well as changes in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Secondary outcomes were procedure morbidity and the need for hospital management. DESIGN: We enrolled patients with type 1 diabetes between 2012 and 2014. Median follow-up was 34 months (range, 25-56 mo). SETTING: Ambulatory care. INTERVENTIONS: We decided to carry out an AHSCT protocol using a less toxic and affordable simplified method based on fludarabine in an outpatient setting. PATIENTS: Patients were of both sexes, age 8-25 years, with positive levels of anti-GAD antibodies, a C-peptide level >1.0 ng/mL, and <3 months since diagnosis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Insulin independence. RESULTS: Sixteen patients were included. Overall response was 81% with seven patients achieving insulin independence (44%); six were partial responders (37%) whereas three were nonresponders (19%). The HbA1c level showed a mean decrease of -2.3% at 6 months in the Insulin Independence group. Median age was 12 years old (range, 8-17 years old). A mean of 11.5 × 10(6) CD34+ cells (SD ± 8.2) was obtained. Related mortality at 100 days was 0% as well as during follow-up. Outpatient setting was 100%. CONCLUSIONS: Simplified AHSCT in an outpatient setting is a feasible, safe and potentially therapeutic intervention for early-onset type 1 diabetes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
