Auckland’s Living Cell Technologies (LCT) has reported long-term follow-up results from seven patients implanted with its porcine islet product Diabecell in a Phase I/IIa trial in Russia.

Five patients who received double low-dose implants showed no safety concerns and maintained good blood glucose control. The other two patients on a single higher-dose implant also reported no safety concerns, the company said.

LCT’s medical director Professor Bob Elliott said none of the patients had problems with clinically relevant episodes of low blood glucose.
