Breakthrough T1D North Texas & Oklahoma

Breakthrough Update: Today, Vertex Pharmaceuticals announced that they are beginning their Phase 3, or pivotal trial for VX-880, a stem cell-derived islet therapy. A pivotal trial gathers the data required for an FDA submission. This therapy is for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and hypoglycemia unawareness and severe hypoglycemic episodes. This is a HUGE first for the #T1D community as it is the first time a scalable cure for some people with T1D is entering this phase. Breakthrough T1D and the T1D Fund are incredibly proud to have supported this work in cell therapies—a top priority for our organization. We want to congratulate our partners at Vertex and thank all the patients who have participated in clinical trials. Your courage and commitment are inspiring.
