Interventions

NameTypeDescription
Allogeneic Islets of LangerhansBIOLOGICALUp to 3 intraportal infusions of cadaveric pancreatic islets of Langerhans. First infusion to contain at least 5,000 islet equivalents/kg body weight. Subsequent infusions to contain at least 3,000 islet equivalents/kg body weight.
EverolimusDRUGLoading dose of 3 mg PO on day -2 relative to transplant, followed at least 12 hours later by dose of 1.5 mg PO BID. The daily dose will be adjusted according to the whole blood 12-hr trough to target 3-15 ng/ml for the first 3 months and 3-12 ng/ml thereafter.
anti-thymocyte globulinDRUGA total of 6 mg/kg IV over 12 hours on days -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2. The dose will be 0.5 mg/kg on day -2, 1.0 mg/kg on day -1, and 1.5 mg/kg on days 0, +1, and +2.
CyclosporineDRUGCyclosporine started on day +1 relative to the first islet transplant. Initial dose of 3 mg/kg/day administered in 2 divided doses; then adjusted to maintain target levels of 400 (350-500) ng/mL for the first three months following islet transplant and 300 (200-350) ng/mL thereafter.
