A City of Hope Phase 1 trial featuring an investigational vaccine that uses a person’s own immune cells, a beta cell protein and vitamin D3 to potentially treat type 1 diabetes is now recruiting patients. The trial is part of The Wanek Family Project for Type 1 Diabetes at City of Hope, which seeks to find cures for the disease.
Known as the PIpepTolDC vaccine, the “inverse” vaccine, which was previously evaluated for safety and feasibility in a clinical trial in the Netherlands, will be tested for the first time in the United States. An inverse vaccine aims to stop certain specific immune responses rather than activate them, as is done by, for example, flu vaccines and COVID-19 vaccines currently being tested.
