- Incidence of adverse events with causality related to VCTX211 units, the surgical procedures and/or medical interventions required to implant and explant the VCTX211 units. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Assess the clinical efficacy of VCTX211 units via evaluation of C-peptide increase from the baseline. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Incidence of adverse events reported in patients implanted with VCTX211 units. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Assess the clinical efficacy of VCTX211 units via evaluation of changes in exogenous insulin use from baseline. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Assess the clinical efficacy of VCTX211 units via evaluation of changes in number of hypoglycemic evens from baseline. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Assess the clinical efficacy of VCTX211 units via evaluation of changes in hemoglobin A1C levels from baseline. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Assess the clinical efficacy of VCTX211 units via evaluation of percentage of time in pre-defined glycemic ranges, as measured by a continuous glucose monitor, from baseline. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Qualitative evaluation of immune response to VCTX211 units assessed by histological staining for markers of host adaptive immune cells within the graft. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Incidence of new alloreactive antibodies found in the blood of patients post implantation. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- Incidence of new autoreactive antibodies found in the blood of patients post implantation. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- The percentage of viable graft cells per unit using immunohistochemical staining. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
- The percentage of graft cells per unit that have differentiated into endocrine/beta cells as determined by immunohistochemical staining. [ Time Frame: From implantation up to 12 months post implantation ]
