FDA approves first cellular therapy to treat patients with type 1 diabetes

FDA

28 June 2023 - Today, the US FDA approved Lantidra, the first allogeneic (donor) pancreatic islet cellular therapy made from deceased donor pancreatic cells for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. 

Lantidra is approved for the treatment of adults with type 1 diabetes who are unable to approach target glycated haemoglobin (average blood glucose levels) because of current repeated episodes of severe hypoglycaemia despite intensive diabetes management and education.
