Diabetes Tips: Dosing Insulin for Low-Carb & High-Fat Meals

Diabetes Nerd April 1, 2025 10:01 am

BIG NEWS with a BIG BUMMER for people with type 1 diabetes.⠀

Read the official report: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/vertex-announces-program-updates-type-200500796.html
⠀
Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced in a press release on Friday, March 28, 2025, that their VX-264 clinical trial using manufactured insulin-producing cells protected by the immune system with a surgically implanted device failed to produce significant results. The trial has ended.⠀
⠀
ABOUT VX-264⠀
VX-264 involves surgically implanting a protective device containing insulin-producing stem cells into the body of a person with type 1 diabetes (T1D) without the need for immunosuppression. The first participants in this trial were enrolled in the summer of 2024.⠀
⠀
Vertex already knows its proprietary cell product is effective at producing insulin based on its VX-880 therapy, involving immunosuppression therapy.⠀
⠀
The VX-264 clinical trial involved the same proprietary cell product as Vertex’s VX-880 therapy but with a different method of protecting the cells from the immune system. ⠀
⠀
ABOUT VX-880⠀
In the VX-880 trial, the stem cells were delivered via infusion into the patient’s hepatic portal vein — which carries blood through several organs, including the pancreas. ⠀
⠀
As of December 2024, 11 out of 12 participants in the VX-880 clinical trial were "insulin-independent" and no longer required daily insulin therapy. A HUGE WIN — but this therapy comes with immunosuppression therapy. VX-880 is intended specifically for people with type 1 diabetes who are severely struggling to live and experiencing frequent severe hypoglycemia.⠀
