NCIt definition : A preparation of allogeneic human stem cell-derived, fully differentiated functional
pancreatic islet cells, that can be used for islet cell transplantation for the treatment
of type 1 diabetes mellitus. Upon infusion into the hepatic portal vein, allogeneic
human stem cell-derived pancreatic islet cells VX-880 may replace and restore pancreatic
islet cells, which are destroyed in patients with type 1 diabetes. These cells may
restore pancreatic islet cell function, produce insulin and may regulate blood glucose
levels.;
