This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and tolerability of VCTX210A combination product in patients with T1D
VCTX210A combination product (unit) comprises 2 components: (1) allogeneic pancreatic endoderm cells (PEC210A) genetically modified using Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (CRISPR/Cas9) to promote immune evasiveness and survival, and (2) a durable, removable, perforated device designed to deliver and retain the PEC210A cells.
