E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Written informed consent for participation of the study, given before undergoing any study-specific procedures
2. Clinical history compatible with type 1 diabetes diagnosed less than 2 years before enrolment
3. In the first part of the study patients 1-6 only male patients between 18-40 years of age will be included. In the second part of the study, patients 7-21, both male and female patients 18 to 40 years of age (inclusive at both ends) will be included.
4. Mentally stable and, in the opinion of the investigator, able to comply with the procedures of the study protocol

6. Women of child-bearing potential, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, if they are using effective methods of contraception during the study. Acceptable birth control methods are those with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly. Such methods include (in “Recommendations related to contraception and pregnancy testing in clinical trials”, supplied from www.hma.eu/):
a. Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation.
-oral
-intravaginal
-transdermal
b. progestogen-only hormonal contracption associated with inhibition of ovulation
- oral
- injectable
- implantable
c. intrauterine device (IUD)
d. intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
e. bilateral tubal occlusion
f. total abstinence or vasectomized partner.

8. Patients with serological evidence of infection with HIV, Treponema pallidum, hepatitis B antigen (patients with serology consistent with previous vaccination and a history of vaccination are acceptable) or hepatitis C.
9. Patients with any immune suppressive treatment
10. Patients with known demyelinating disease or with symptoms or physical examination findings consistent with possible demyelinating disease-
11. Pregnant or nursing (lactating) women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by a positive hCG laboratory test
11. Patients with known, or previous, malignancy.
12. Taking oral anti-diabetic therapies or any other concomitant medication which may interfere with glucose regulation other than insulin
13. Patient with any condition or any circumstance that in the opinion of the investigator would make it unsafe to undergo treatment with MSC.
14. Patients with GFR <80 ml/min/1.73 m2 body surface.
