Subgroup Analysis: NextCell Presents Preliminary One-Year Results from the Older Age Group in ProTrans-Young

NextCell Pharma today announces preliminary one-year results from the older age group (12–21 years) in the ongoing clinical trial ProTrans-Young. The study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of the company’s cell therapy, ProTrans, in preserving insulin production in young individuals newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, compared with placebo. The current analysis is an administrative subgroup analysis of the first 30 randomised patients, all included within six months of diagnosis – a favourable time point, as more insulin production is typically still present and can be preserved. However, variability in disease progression is greater early after diagnosis and during puberty, which at this stage makes interpretation of the treatment effect more challenging. A clearer effect is expected over time.
