Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus | Biological: MSC and PRP | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are collected from autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells and allogeneic umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC).
15 patients with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus will be enrolled and will receive MSCs by intravenous infusion. They were followed up for 6 months after transplantation.
Safety is to assess the occurrence of adverse events (AEs) during either stem cells infusion or by physician assessments.
The primary endpoint is to assess the improvement of patients' Fasting blood glucose, HbA1C, C-peptide, and blood insulin level.

Experimental: MSC and PRP
15 patients will be given autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSC) and mesenchymal stem cell from allogeneic umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) by intravenous infusion.
|
Biological: MSC and PRP
MSC are collected from autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMNC) and allogeneic umbilical cord tissue (UC-MSC) under sterile conditions and combined with activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to treat this disease. |
- Fasting blood glucose [ Time Frame: every month in the course of 6 months ]Assess the changes in fasting blood glucose level after transplantation
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level [ Time Frame: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after transplantation ]Assess the changes in HbA1C level after transplantation
- Adverse events [ Time Frame: during the course of 6 months ]Evaluate the safety of therapy by number record of adverse events (AEs)
- Insulin dose [ Time Frame: during the course of 6 months ]Reduction of insulin dose after transplantation
- C-peptide [ Time Frame: every month in the course of 6 months ]Assess the improvement in C-peptide level after transplantation
