Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants in this study will be type I diabetics who have received a kidney transplant for ESRD.. If subjects have not received ITT in the 12 months prior to enrollment, they must undergo a period of standardized diabetes care by an experienced diabetologist at the transplant center using the current ADA's standards of medical care in diabetes. Throughout the study, all participants will remain on the immunosuppressive therapy intended for their kidney. Participants will receive up to three separate islet transplants and a regimen of immunosuppressive medications consisting of antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and etanercept. They will begin receiving ATG 2 days prior to transplant and will continue to receive ATG until Day 2 post-transplant. Etanercept will be given on the day of transplant and on Days 3, 7, and 10 post-transplant.
Transplantations will involve an inpatient hospital stay and infusion of islets into a branch of the portal vein. Participants who do not achieve or maintain insulin independence by Day 30 post-transplant will be considered for a second islet transplant. Participants who remain dependent on insulin for longer than 30 days after the second transplant and who show partial graft function will be considered for a third islet transplant. Daclizumab will be used in place of ATG for the second and third transplants, if they are necessary. Participants who do not meet the criteria for a subsequent transplant will enter a reduced follow-up period.
There will be approximately 15 study visits. A physical exam, review of adverse events, and blood collection will occur at most visits. A chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound, electrocardiogram, quality of life questionnaires, and urine collection will occur at some visits. Participants will also test their own blood glucose levels throughout the study. A 36-month follow-up period will take place after the participant's last transplant, consisting of 8 additional visits.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Clinical history compatible with type 1 diabetes with onset of disease at less than 40 years of age, insulin dependence for at least 5 years at study entry, and a sum of age and insulin dependent diabetes duration of at least 28;
* Absent stimulated C-peptide (defined as less than 0.3 ng/ml) 60 and 90 minutes post-mixed-meal tolerance test;
* Received kidney transplant for ESRD and are taking appropriate calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) based maintenance immunosuppressive therapy;
* Stable renal function as defined as creatinine of no more than one third greater than the average creatinine determination performed in the 3 previous months prior to islet transplantation, until rejection, obstruction or infection is ruled out;
* Intensive diabetes management followed by reduced awareness of hypoglycemia or an HbA1c ≥ 7.5%.
Exclusion Criteria
* Insulin requirement of \>1.0 IU/kg/day or \<15 U/day;
* Other (non-kidney) organ transplants except prior failed pancreatic graft where the graft failed within the first two weeks due to thrombosis, followed by pancreatectomy and the pancreas transplant occurred more than 6 months prior to enrollment;
* Untreated proliferative diabetic retinopathy;
* Systolic blood pressure higher than 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure higher than 100 mmHg;
* Calculated glomerular filtration rate of less than 40 ml/min/1.73meter-squared. More information about this criterion is in the protocol;
* Proteinuria (albumin/creatinine ratio or ACr \> 300 mg/g) of new onset since kidney transplantation;
* Either Class I or Class II panel-reactive anti-HLA antibodies \> 50%; Participants with either Class I or Class II panel reactive anti-HLA antibodies of 50% or less will be excluded if any of the following are detected:
1. Positive cross match;
2. Islet donor-directed anti-HLA antibodies detected my Luminex Single Antigen/specificity bead assay, including weakly reactive antibodies that would not be detected by a flow cross-match; or
3. Antibodies to the renal donor (i.e. presumed de novo).
* Pregnant, breastfeeding, or unwilling to use effective contraception throughout the study and 4 months after study completion;
* Active infection, including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, or tuberculosis. More information about this criterion is in the protocol.
* Negative for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) by (VCA) IgG determination;
* Invasive aspergillus infection, histoplasmosis, and coccidioidomycosis infection one year prior to study enrollment;
* History of malignancy except for completely resected squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin;
* Known active alcohol or substance abuse;
* History of Factor V Leiden mutation;
* Any coagulopathy or medical condition requiring long-term anticoagulant therapy after transplantation or individuals with an INR greater than 1.5;
* Severe co-existing cardiac disease, characterized by any one of these conditions:
1. Recent MI (within past 6 months);
2. Evidence of ischemia on functional cardiac exam within the last year;
3. Left ventricular ejection fraction \< 30%; or
4. Valvular disease requiring replacement with prosthetic valve.
* Persistent elevation of liver function tests at the time of study entry. Persistent serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT \[AST\]), serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT \[ALT\],) alkaline phosphatase or total bilirubin, with values \> 1.5 times normal upper limits will exclude a subject;
* Active infections (except mild skin and nail fungal infections);
* Acute or chronic pancreatitis;
* Active peptic ulcer disease, symptomatic gallstones, or portal hypertension;
* Treatment with any anti-diabetic medication other than insulin within the past 4 weeks;
* Use of any investigational agents within the past 4 weeks;
* Received live attenuated vaccine(s) within the past 2 months;
* Any medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, will interfere with safe participation in the trial;
* Male participants with elevation of prostate specific antigen (PSA) of more than 4 unless cancer has been excluded;
* Any condition other than T1D as the primary cause of end stage renal disease (ESRD) in the native kidney;
