Sponsor's own description

The purpose of the study is to determine whether E1 and G1 are safe and effective in the treatment of type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks pancreatic beta cells. These cells produce insulin, which regulates blood glucose. The mainstay of current treatment for type 1 diabetes is dietary control and daily parenteral administration of insulin. Recent diabetes research has increasingly focused on pancreatic islet cell replacement, either by islet cell transplantation or by endogenous regeneration of islet cells. During fetal development, islet precursor cells proliferate and differentiate into mature beta cells capable of producing insulin. This process is known as islet cell neogenesis. Islet cell neogenesis normally ceases around birth, however, the adult pancreas still retains significant potential for islet regeneration, as shown by tissue repair following pancreatic injury. Pre-clinical studies have shown that E1 and G1 can re-establish islet cell neogenesis and increase pancreatic insulin production in diabetic animal models. It is therefore postulated that treatment with E1 and G1 may produce islet cell regeneration in type 1 diabetic patients.
