Transplant into patients

Transcript

Bob Elliott - Living Cell Technologies

It’s a simple procedure to put them in, takes about 10 minutes. Under an anaesthetic, a tube’s passed into the belly and the cells just literally run in. There’s no real surgical procedure apart from placing the tube inside the abdomen.

After the cells are implanted, all the patients that receive them are monitored very closely. Clearly what we’re wanting to see is a reduction in their insulin dosage. We also want to see a reduction in their hypoglycaemic episodes and better control of their blood sugar, and all those things can be monitored by our clinical programme.
