Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety, tolerability, immune activity, and pharmacokinetics of hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala) antibody induction therapy for the prevention of autoimmune destruction and rejection of allogeneic islet transplants as measured by:
  • -Physical examination
  • -Vital signs
  • -Body weight
  • -Adverse events
  • -Laboratory and diagnostic safety assessments included complete blood counts with differential and platelets, circulating T cell phenotypes, and serum chemistry.
  • -Immune activity and pharmacokinetic assessments included hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala) level and half-life, monoclonal antibody coating and modulation of CD3 on peripheral blood T cells, and anti-hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala) antibody responses.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Efficacy of hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala) antibody induction therapy for the prevention of autoimmune destruction and rejection of islet transplants as defined by:
  • -Proportion of subjects with full islet graft function (insulin independence and HbA1c <7%);
  • -Proportion of subjects with partial islet graft function (insulin dependence, basal or arginine-stimulated C-peptide levels of greater or equal to 0.5 ng/ml and HbA1c <7%);
  • -Proportion of subjects with slet graft loss will be defined as a return to insulin therapy for >30 days, absence of basal and arginine-stimulated C-peptide, re-transplantation, or patient death;

Detailed Description:

This is an open-label, one-year follow-up study of type 1 diabetic islet allograft recipients who receive FcR non-binding OKT3 antibody hOKT3γ1 (Ala-Ala) plus sirolimus induction immunotherapy combined with sirolimus and delayed tacrolimus maintenance immunosuppression. Six subjects were transplanted.

The premise behind the proposal is that hOKT3γ1(Ala-Ala) corrects the imbalance between autoreactive and regulatory T cells and consequently prevents autoimmune destruction of transplanted islets. To prevent allorejection, hOKT3γ1(Ala-Ala)was combined with sirolimus and delayed tacrolimus. Additionally, the safety and efficacy of the maintenance immunosuppressive regimen of sirolimus combined with tacrolimus was monitored.
