Brief Summary: AT-1501 is a monoclonal antibody Antibodies are Y-shaped proteins that are produced naturally by the subjects immune system to attack and fight foreign substances that cause illness Monoclonal antibodies are man-made proteins manufactured to serve as substitute antibodies to fight diseases Monoclonal antibodies can restore enhance or mimic copy the immune systems attack process they can also tone down the immune system AT-1501 is thought to work by dampening down the immune system so that it will be less likely to attack the transplanted cells For other types of transplants like kidney a drug called a calcineurin inhibitor is usually used to prevent rejection That class of drugs can be toxic to islet cells AT-1501 is an experimental agent that is anticipated to prevent rejection without harming the islet cells
Detailed Description: By doing this study the study team is studying an investigational regimen containing 2 experimental components

An investigational drug called AT-1501 and
Human pancreatic islet cells

Both AT-1501 and human pancreatic islet cells are considered investigational because they are not currently approved for use in the United States

Islet cells are the specialized cells in the pancreas that produce insulin In this study islet cells will be collected from the pancreas of a deceased organ donor and transplanted into the body The goal of this study is to see whether these transplanted islet cells can take over insulin production The study team will evaluate how well the subject makes insulin and how well-controlled blood sugar is after the transplant

The islet transplant procedure involves inserting a thin flexible tube called a catheter through a small cut in the upper abdomen A radiologist uses X-rays and ultrasound to guide the catheter into the portal vein of the liver where the islet cells are delivered This study of islet transplantation will test to see if islet transplantation is safe and effective

Because these islet cells come from another person the subjects immune system may recognize them as foreign and attack them Standard immunosuppressive medicines Anti-thymocyte globulin ATG or Basiliximab mycophenolate mofetilmycophenolate sodium MMFMPS CellCept and Etanercept will be used to help prevent the body from attacking the transplanted islet cells AT-1501 will be given in combination with these standard immunosuppressive medicines to test whether the investigational drug is safe tolerable and efficacious The effect of the combination of AT-1501 with other immunosuppressant medications has not been previously tested
