O doente, diagnosticado com diabetes tipo 1 há 40 anos, tinha sofrido vários episódios graves de hipoglicémia no ano anterior ao tratamento experimental, constituído pela administração de células pancreáticas diferenciadas a partir de células estaminais, conjugada com terapia de imunossupressão.
Este produto de terapia celular, designado VX-880 pela fabricante Vertex Pharmaceuticals, está a ser avaliado, para já, num ensaio clínico de fase 1/2, que incluirá 17 doentes.
Os resultados preliminares agora reportados revelam que o primeiro doente tratado apresentou melhorias, com diminuição de 91% na necessidade diária de insulina e melhor controlo dos níveis de glicose no sangue.
