Summary description of the study

Vertex Pharmaceuticals sponsors a study to determine whether the investigational product can improve glucose control in people with T1D. Patients wishing to participate must be between 18 and 65 years old and meet the inclusion criteria for the study.

(BASEC)

Intervention under investigation

Study participants will receive the investigational product via a surgical procedure. The investigational product will be implanted into the abdominal wall of the participants. For this, participants will be admitted for an approximately 4-day inpatient stay. Participants will test their glucose levels with a continuous glucose monitor throughout the study duration. In total, participants will have approximately 17 visits to the study center over a period of about 24 months. Study visits at the study center may last between 1 and 12 hours. Some visits may be conducted by phone or as home visits. After 24 months, participation in the study is completed.

Disease under investigation

Type 1 diabetes (T1D)
