  Have you heard about tegoprupart, an immunosuppressant alternative with fewer side effects than traditional immunosuppressants, now being used for islet cell transplantation?
  I follow Katie Beth Hand and Crushingt1 lots of great info on the Eledon trial. I would definitely sign up for the trial if I was eligible.

  I'd sign up today!!!!! Have to admit that listening to her describe her "freedom" with "no longer having" T1D makes me jealous!

  I was shocked that so many people haven't heard about it. It is all over social media. It looks promising to me. Of course the trial participants need to be followed for awhile as no drug gets approved by the FDA in short time, but so far all of the first 12 trial participants are insulin free and the 1st participant has been insulin free for over 1-1/2 years with no complications that I've heard of.

  This question is an advertisement. In my opinion it is a misleading advertisement. Tegoprupart is an immunosuppressant. A trial investigating using the drug with islet cell recipients has barely gotten started. 90-ish percent of all phase 3 drug trials fail. Drug development is hard. I wish them luck at the same time I wish they weren't misleading people about the investigational use of their drug.

  AI Overview Tegoprubart, an anti-CD40L antibody, is generally safe and well-tolerated, with a cleaner safety profile than traditional calcineurin inhibitors (like tacrolimus) in early trials, specifically showing lower risks of kidney toxicity and diabetes. Common side effects reported include fatigue, headaches, muscle spasms, and potential infections. National Institutes of Health (.gov) National Institutes of Health (.gov) +4 Common Side Effects and Adverse Events In clinical trials, the most frequent treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) observed included: National Institutes of Health (.gov) National Institutes of Health (.gov) +2 Fatigue (approx. 25.9%) Falls (approx. 22.2%) Headaches (approx. 20.4%) Muscle spasms (approx. 11.1%) Upper respiratory tract infections Sleepiness Key Safety Advantages Over Standard Care (Tacrolimus) Tegoprubart aims to avoid the, often, severe, long-term side effects of standard anti-rejection meds like tacrolimus

  If islet cell transplantation is proven safe and effective, how likely would you be to consider it a treatment option?
  Without rejection drugs- very likely. With rejection drugs- not a chance.

  Only if I don't need to take any immunosuppression drugs

  All depends on if anti rejection and immunosuppressive medications are needed. If so I would not be interested.

  It would depend on the cost and coverage by insurance as well as the requirement for immunity suppressants.

  Very likely provided immunosuppressants aren't required. Also younger people should receive the treatment first.

  If it requires immunosuppressive medication I have no interest. I'll continue to manage with insulin.

  Very likely, especially if stem-cell generated islet cells are transplanted without the need for immunosuppressants. If tegoprubart is needed and is found safe after the trials are complete, then likely.

  Very likely. Although the simplicity of spifflicating is often overrated. 🤓☝️
