NextCell Pharma AB ("NextCell") announces that the Data Safety Monitoring Board has recommended professor Per-Ola Carlsson to continue with the phase II part of the pediatric study in type-1 diabetes with ProTrans, ProTrans-Young. 

The first part of ProTrans-Young is a safety part (phase Ib) where all patients are treated at Uppsala University Hospital.  3 patients aged 12-18 years first receive treatment and are then followed by 3 patients aged 7-11 years.  After all 6 patients have been on a 3 month follow-up examination, there is a review of data with regards to safety by the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB).  The DSMB has now recommended that the study continues with a second part which is randomized and placebo-controlled (phase II).  A total of 60 children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes will be treated, 30 with ProTrans and 30 with placebo. Initially, 30 patients aged 12-21 in Part II will be treated and after 6 months of follow-up, the DSMB will review safety before continuing to treat the remaining 30 patients aged 7-11.

The principal investigator is professor Per-Ola Carlsson, Uppsala University and Uppsala University Hospital with co-investigators Professor Helena Elding Larsson, Skåne Universitety Hospital and Professor Johnny Ludvigsson, Linköping Universitets Hospital.   The Data Safety Monitoring Board consists of chairman professor Ulf Smith, Sahlgrenska and Professor Mikael Rydén, Karolinska University Hospital and Professor Anders Fasth, Queen Silivia's Children's Hospital.

Uppsala University Hospital is the sponsor of the trial, which is funded by research grants. NextCell contributes to the study with ProTrans and placebo. In addition, the company will support the trial with logistics, documentation, and expert competence. No additional monetary compensation will be paid, i.e., NextCell will not pay for the study.

The full title of the study is: "A Double-blinded, Randomized, Parallel, Placebo-controlled trial of Wharton's Jelly-derived Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cells to treat Type I Diabetes in Children and Adolescents" (EudraCT 2020-004520-42).
