SymbioCellTech (SCT) is an early stage, university spin out, that has developed stem cell-based technology that achieves euglycemia (glucose control) in Type-1 Diabetes, and will soon be adapted for Type-2 Diabetes. The SCT proprietary Neo-Iset therapy, comprising both pancreatic islet and mesenchymal stem cells, can be administered in a simple out-patient procedure resulting in glucose control identical to that of a normal healthy individual. Backed by rigorous NIH, VA and privately funded research and resultant data, SCT has completed pre-clinical trials and is preparing for FDA submission and approval to begin well-designed, controlled, clinical trials treating humans suffering from Type-1 Diabetes. FDA Investigational New Animal Drug (INAD) approval for diabetic companion animals has been approved and canine clinical trials are ongoing with outstanding results and outcomes.
